I've been seeing Dr. Kulkarni for my blood pressure for over a decade now. He remembers things from years ago, asks about my family, and never rushes me. The clinic at Lilavati can be busy, but he always makes the time feel like it's just for you. That kind of consistency is hard to find.

My 8-year-old son had a high fever that wouldn't break, and we were really scared. Dr. Kulkarni was so calm with him, explaining everything in a way a kid could understand. He didn't just talk to us; he got down on my son's level. He figured out it was a tricky ear infection, started treatment right there, and called us the next day to check in. We felt looked after.

Had a weird stomach thing for weeks. Saw Dr. Kulkarni. He listened, asked the right questions, ordered a simple test. Got a clear plan, felt better in a few days. Straightforward, no drama. Good doctor.

Doctor: Dr. D.R Kulkarni Hospital: Lilavati Hospital

I went to Lilavati last month after putting off a physical for years, honestly just nervous about what they might find. Dr. Kulkarni had this way of putting me at easehe joked about the hospital parking being a workout itself. He went through everything slowly, explained why he was checking certain things, and when my cholesterol came back high, he didn't just hand me a pill. We actually talked about my diet, my job, and came up with a real plan I could actually follow. Left feeling informed, not just processed.
