At my age, one does not wish to be a bother, but my persistent stomach trouble became quite concerning. Dr. Gawankar saw me at Lilavati. He has a very calming presence. He listened to all my old-fashioned worries without any hurry, explained everything in simple terms, and the treatment he suggested was gentle yet effective. The hospital itself is very comfortable, which matters when you're not as spry as you used to be. I am feeling much more myself now.

What a relief! I'd been dealing with this nagging fatigue and dizziness for weeks, and my local doctor was stumped. My cousin insisted I see Dr. Gawankar at Lilavati. He ordered a couple of specific tests others hadn't thought of, and bam – found the issue! It was a simple vitamin deficiency, easily fixed. I've got my energy back! He really knows his stuff. So glad I went.
