Patient Experience
Severe abdominal pain. Went to Lilavati ER. Admitted. Dr. Sudhir Ambekar was assigned. Clear diagnosis: acute appendicitis. Explained the surgery needed, risks, recovery. No sugar-coating. Surgery was smooth. Post-op care was direct and effective. Discharged in two days. Follow-up was straightforward. He answers questions clearly. Gets to the point. Good doctor.
Our 8-year-old, Rohan, had been complaining about stomach pains for weeks. We saw a couple of doctors who just said it was indigestion. By the time we got to Lilavati, we were scared. The waiting area was packed, and I was pacing. Dr. Ambekar didn't rush us. He sat Rohan down and talked to him like a person, not just a kid. He asked about school, his friends, everything. He figured out it was a stress-related issue, not just a physical one. The way he explained it to Rohan, and to us, made us all feel calm. He gave us a simple plan, and Rohan's been fine since. It felt like he really saw our son.
I was quite nervous about my procedure. The hospital is very big and can feel overwhelming. But Dr. Ambekar has a very gentle way about him. He speaks softly and takes his time. He made sure I understood each step before we moved forward. There was no pressure, just quiet guidance. The whole experience, because of his manner, was much less frightening than I had imagined. I am deeply grateful for his kindness.
Wow, what a difference! I'd been dealing with this nagging digestive issue for months, and my old doc just kept throwing antacids at it. Saw Dr. Ambekar at Lilavatiparking was a nightmare, by the wayand he actually listened! He asked a ton of questions, ordered the right tests, and boom, figured it out. It was a specific food intolerance. Changed my diet, and I feel like a new person. No more bloating, no more pain. Seriously, so glad I went to see him. Total relief!
