Patient Experience
I was a complete mess before my appointment. First time seeing a specialist, and my mind was racing with worst-case scenarios. Dr. Nadkarni walked in, sat down, and just talked to me like a normal person. He explained everything in simple terms, didn't rush me, and by the end I felt silly for being so scared. He just has a very calm way about him.
Our 8-year-old had a high fever that wouldn't break, and we were terrified. At Lilavati, Dr. Nadkarni was so gentle with him. He got down to my son's eye level, asked him about his favorite cartoon, and did the exam while distracting him with stories. He didn't just treat the fever; he treated my kid's fear. We left with a clear plan and, more importantly, a much calmer child. As a parent, that meant everything.
Had a weird pain in my side for weeks. Saw Dr. Nadkarni. He listened, poked around, ordered the right tests. Figured it out, fixed it. No fuss, no drama. Good doctor.
It started with just feeling run-down all the time. I'd put off seeing anyone, blaming work stress. When I finally went to Lilavati, the parking was a nightmare, which put me in a worse mood. Dr. Nadkarni, though, he didn't just glance at my chart. He asked about my job, my sleep, things I hadn't even connected. He remembered a detail I'd mentioned offhand about my diet from three questions earlier. The way he pieced it togetherit wasn't one big thing, but a few small things adding upmade total sense. He gave me a plan that actually felt manageable, not overwhelming. I'm only a few weeks in, but I already feel more like myself.
