Patient Experience
For months, I just felt offtired, some aches, nothing that pointed to one thing. Saw a couple of doctors who said it was stress. Dr. Sable was different. He actually listened to the whole confusing story, asked questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests others hadn't. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that was mimicking other problems. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and feel like myself again. He didn't just shrug and send me home.
I needed a minor cyst removal. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital experience than the procedure itself. But from check-in to leaving, it was straightforward. Dr. Sable's team had everything ready, the procedure itself was quick, and he talked me through each step as it happened. I was in and out in a few hours. The follow-up call from his nurse the next day to check on me was a nice touch I wasn't expecting.
The place itself, Lilavati, is busyI had to circle for parking. But once inside, the difference was clear. The front desk staff were patient with my questions, and the nurse in Dr. Sable's clinic had a really calm way about her. She could see I was anxious and just chatting about everyday things while taking my vitals helped a lot. It felt less like a factory and more like a place where people actually pay attention.
What stuck with me most was how Dr. Sable talks to you. He doesn't rush. When he came in, he sat down, looked at me, not his computer. He asked about my work and how my symptoms were affecting my day before diving into the medical stuff. When he explained my treatment plan, he drew a simple diagram on a notepad. It felt like he was talking *with* me, not *at* me. That kind of respect is rare.
