Dr. Nitin Gokhale

My 8-year-old son had been complaining of stomach pain for weeks. Our pediatrician couldn't figure it out, so we were referred to Dr. Gokhale at Lilavati. I was a wreck. He spent nearly an hour with us, just talking and asking my son questions in this calm, gentle way. He didn't just look at the charts; he watched how my son moved. He figured out it was a food sensitivity our regular doctor missed. He explained everything to me and to my son in a way we both understood. I cried in the car from relief. He gave my boy his smile back.

I was so nervous going in. First time seeing a specialist, and at a big hospital like Lilavati too. I'd built it up in my head. But Dr. Gokhale just... put me at ease. He didn't rush. He actually listened to all my jumbled-up worries and sorted through them. He said 'That's a common concern, let's talk about it' about three times, and I finally started to relax. Left feeling like I had a plan, not just a prescription.

Had a weird, lingering fever. Saw Dr. Gokhale. He's direct, no fluff. Asked the right questions, ordered the right tests, figured it out. Parking at Lilavati is always a hassle, but the appointment itself was efficient. Got the problem sorted. That's what I needed.

It started with just feeling run-down all the time. I'd drag myself through work, sleep all weekend, and still be exhausted. My wife finally made the appointment. The waiting area was busy, I'll be honest. But when I got in to see Dr. Gokhale, he had this way of pulling the story out of me. He asked about my sleep, my diet, my work stressthings I didn't think were related. He connected dots I didn't even see. It wasn't one big thing; it was a few small things adding up. He laid out a clear, step-by-step plannot just medicine, but lifestyle tweaks. It's been three months now, and the difference is night and day. I feel like myself again. He didn't just treat a symptom; he figured out the 'why.'
