Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Parikh was different. He actually listened, asked questions about things no one else had, and ordered some specific tests. Turned out it was something pretty rare with my thyroid. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad, didn't rush me. It was a relief just to have a name for it and a real plan.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Parikh made it feel like no big deal. The whole thing was over in what felt like twenty minutes. He talked me through each step, the local anesthetic worked perfectly, and the stitches were so neat you can barely see the scar now. It was just... easy. Exactly what you hope for with something routine.
The parking at Lilavati is always a bit of a hunt, I'll say that. But once you're inside, it's calm. The nurses at Dr. Parikh's clinic are really on the ballthey remembered my name from last time and got my file ready without me asking. The waiting area is clean and quiet, which helps when you're feeling anxious. It's a well-run place, and that makes a difference.
What stuck with me was how Dr. Parikh talks to you. He doesn't just look at the chart; he looks at you. When I was worried about a treatment side effect, he didn't dismiss it. He sat back, thought for a second, and said, 'Okay, let's talk about why that's scary for you.' He has this calm way of making you feel like you're figuring it out together, not just being told what to do.
