Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Kulkarni for my diabetes and blood pressure for about eight years now. She remembers the little thingslike asking about my grandson's exams last timewhich makes a huge difference. The clinic at Lilavati can get busy and you might wait a bit, but she never rushes you out. I trust her completely because she's consistent; if a treatment isn't working, she's honest about it and we try something else. That kind of reliability is hard to find.
Had my gallbladder removed last month. The surgery itself went fine, but the first two days after were rough. What really helped was how Dr. Shilpa handled the pain plan. She explained exactly what to expect and adjusted my meds when I needed it, without making me feel like I was complaining. Her follow-up calls to check on my progress made the recovery feel manageable, not scary.
Saw Dr. Shilpa for a nasty sinus infection. She listened, gave me a prescription that actually worked, and didn't push unnecessary tests. Straight to the point, which I appreciate. Got better in a few days.
I went to Lilavati with this lingering stomach pain that my local doctor couldn't figure out. Honestly, I was pretty nervous. Dr. Kulkarni spent a good 20 minutes just going over my history, asking about my diet and stress at work. She ordered a specific scan the others hadn't. Turned out to be a minor ulcer. She walked me through the treatment plan on a notepad, drawing little diagrams. The parking garage was full that day and I had to circle for ages, but weirdly, leaving her office, I felt lighter. She just has a way of making things clear.
