Patient Experience
For months, I just felt offtired, some aches, nothing you could really point to. My old doctor kept saying it was stress. Dr. Medhekar actually listened. She asked questions I hadn't even thought about and ordered a specific test no one else had. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that was a bit tricky to spot. She explained it all on a notepad, drawing little diagrams. I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere.
I needed a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but the whole thing was so straightforward. Dr. Medhekar walked me through each step on the day, the local anesthetic did its job, and it was over before I knew it. The follow-up was quick, and the scar is healing really cleanly. Sometimes simple things done well make the biggest difference.
Parking at Lilavati was a nightmare that day, I won't lie. But once I got inside, the place felt calm. The front desk lady saw I was flustered and helped me find my way. The nurse who took my vitals was really kind and chatted with me to pass the time. It made waiting for my appointment with Dr. Medhekar much less stressful. The environment there really does help.
What stuck with me most was how Dr. Medhekar talks to you. She doesn't rush. When I told her my worries about starting a new medication, she didn't just dismiss them. She sat back, considered it, and we talked about the pros and cons until I felt comfortable. She has a way of making you feel like you're figuring it out together, not just being told what to do.
