Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Parikh for my blood pressure and general health for about eight years now. The clinic at Lilavati is always busy, but he never rushes me. What I appreciate most is that he remembers my historyhe'll ask about my knee from three years ago or how my stress levels are at work. He's consistent. You don't find that often. I trust his judgment completely because he explains the 'why' behind every change in medication or advice.
My 7-year-old son had a high fever that just wouldn't break, and we were really scared. We got an appointment with Dr. Samir Parikh. He was so calm with my boy, talking to him about school while he checked him over. He explained everything to us in simple terms, what the likely virus was and what to watch for. He didn't just throw antibiotics at us. He called the next day himself to check in. As a parent, that meant the world. My son wasn't just another patient to him.
Had a bad stomach thing last month. Went to Dr. Parikh at Lilavati. He was straight to the point, figured it out fast. Got the right meds, felt better in a couple days. No fuss, good doctor.
So, I'd been feeling run down for weeksjust tired all the time, no energy. I was nervous it was something serious. My appointment at Lilavati was late in the evening, and the parking was a nightmare, I almost gave up. Dr. Parikh listened to me list off all these vague symptoms without interrupting. He asked a ton of questions about my sleep, diet, even my workout routine. Ordered a few specific blood tests I hadn't had before. Turns out, it was a pretty straightforward vitamin deficiency. The relief was huge. He didn't dismiss it as 'just stress' like others might have. He actually looked for the cause.
