Patient Experience
Had my gallbladder out at Lilavati. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie. But Dr. Kothari's team had a clear plan for the pain that actually worked. He checked on me every morning, adjusted things when needed, and explained what each ache probably was. Felt like I was in good hands the whole time, even when it hurt.
At my age, a hospital visit can be quite daunting. Dr. Kothari made the experience far more comfortable than I had anticipated. He listened patiently to all my concerns about my persistent indigestion and explained my treatment in a way I could easily understand. His manner is both professional and kind, which I value greatly.
Went to Dr. Kothari for a second opinion. He was straight up, no sugar-coating. Told me what he thought, what the options were, and what he'd recommend. Parking at Lilavati was a nightmare, but the consultation itself was worth it. Got a clear path forward.
I'd been putting off this hernia repair for months, just scared of the whole thing. From the first meeting, Dr. Kothari had a calm way about him that cut through the anxiety. He drew a simple diagram on the notepad to show me exactly what he'd do. The day of, I was nervous waiting, but he came by before they wheeled me in, cracked a small joke about the hospital gown, and that helped. Recovery wasn't a picnic, but his instructions were so specificwhen to walk, what to eat, what pain level was normalthat I never felt lost. Saw him for my follow-up last week, and he seemed genuinely pleased with how it was healing. It's a relief to have it done.
