Doctor: Dr. Santosh J. Karmarkar Hospital: Lilavati Hospital

My family has been seeing Dr. Karmarkar for over a decade now. He remembers details from years ago, asks about my son by name. That consistency means something. The hospital can be busy, sometimes you wait a bit, but he never rushes you in the room. He listens, explains things in a way that makes sense, and you just know you’re in good hands. It’s a relief to have a doctor you don’t have to second-guess.

Explained the results clearly, laid out a simple plan. It worked. Parking at Lilavati is always a hassle, but for care this straightforward, it’s worth it. He cuts through the noise.

Doctor: Dr. Santosh J. Karmarkar Hospital: Lilavati Hospital

I was quite nervous about some ongoing health concerns. Dr. Karmarkar has a very calm way about him. He doesn’t talk down to you. He took his time, went through everything step by step, and his quiet confidence was very reassuring. It felt like he was genuinely thinking with me, not just at me. A very kind and thoughtful doctor.

Doctor: Dr. Santosh J. Karmarkar Hospital: Lilavati Hospital

Finally got some answers! After seeing a couple of other doctors who just shrugged, Dr. Karmarkar actually figured out what was going on. He really listened, connected some dots others missed. I walked out of there feeling so much lighter, like a weight was off my shoulders. The whole process just made sense with him. Really, really good doctor.
