Dr. Krishnakumar N. Shah

Had a gallbladder removal with Dr. Shah last month. The surgery itself went fine, but what really stood out was the aftercare. He checked on me personally every day, even on Sunday, and adjusted my pain meds so I wasn't just knocked out. He explained what the pain meant and when to worry. I was walking the halls by day two. Felt human again much faster than my friend who had the same thing done elsewhere.

I've been seeing Dr. Shah for my diabetes and hypertension for over eight years now. In a city where doctors change clinics like shirts, he's been a constant at Lilavati. He remembers my history, asks about my family, and never rushes the appointment. His approach is steadyno dramatic shifts in medication, just careful, consistent adjustments. That predictability is everything when you're managing a condition long-term. You build trust slowly, and he's earned all of it.

Look, I needed a doctor for a general check-up and a weird rash. Friend recommended Dr. Shah. Got an appointment, waited a bit (parking at Lilavati is always a mess), but the wait was worth it. He was straight to the point, diagnosed the rash in minutes, gave clear instructions. No fluff, no scare tactics. Fixed me up. Good doctor.

My story with Dr. Shah started with a persistent stomach ache my local GP couldn't figure out. I was nervous, expecting the worst at a big hospital. From the first meeting, he just listened. Really listened, while taking notes on an actual pad. He ordered tests but explained why each one mattered. Turned out to be a manageable ulcer, nothing scary. The follow-up call from him a week later to see if the new diet was helping? That sealed it for me. He treated the worry as seriously as the pain.
