Patient Experience
My family has been seeing Dr. Bharucha for nearly a decade now. It started with my father's diabetes, then my own check-ups, and now my wife's thyroid. He remembers us, remembers the history. That's what matters. The hospital is busy, you sometimes wait a bit, but once you're in his room, he's present. He doesn't rush. He explains things in a way that makes sense, without the scary medical jargon. I don't need a doctor who's always changing my prescriptions for no reason. I need someone steady, who knows my chart. That's him.
Had a stubborn stomach issue for months. Saw two other doctors, got confusing advice. Went to Dr. Bharucha at Lilavati. Parking was a nightmare, I was late and flustered. He cut right to it. Asked very specific questions, reviewed the old reports I brought, and said, 'Let's stop these two medications for two weeks and try this simple diet change first.' No fancy new tests, no drama. It worked. He solved in one visit what others complicated. Clear, direct, effective. That's all I wanted.
I was quite nervous about seeing a new doctor. My voice was probably very quiet. Dr. Bharucha was... kind. He listened more than he talked at first. When I explained my constant fatigue, he didn't just dismiss it. He asked about my sleep, my work hours, things others ignored. His tone was calm, and he laid out a plan step-by-step, making sure I understood. The clinic was bustling outside, but in there, I felt heard. It's a relief to find a doctor who doesn't make you feel like you're wasting their time.
After weeks of this awful joint pain, I finally got in to see Dr. Bharucha. I was so fed up! Within minutes of examining me and asking a few sharp questions, he looked at me and said, 'This isn't just arthritis. I think it's related to that gut problem you mentioned last year.' He connected dots I didn't even see. Ordered the right blood work, and bam, he was right. Started treatment and I feel like a new person. I'm telling everyone about him! He actually *thinks* about the whole picture, not just the obvious symptom.
