Doctor: Dr. Vani Kulhalli Hospital: Nanavati Max Hospital

I've been seeing Dr. Vani for over three years now for my anxiety. What I value most is her consistency. She remembers the details from our last session, which makes me feel heard. It's not about quick fixes; it's about steady, reliable support. I trust her judgment completely.

Doctor: Dr. Vani Kulhalli Hospital: Nanavati Max Hospital

Look, I was skeptical about therapy. Friend pushed me to go. Dr. Vani at Nanavati was surprisingly no-nonsense. Didn't make me feel weird for being there. Actually helped. Parking's a nightmare, though.

Doctor: Dr. Vani Kulhalli Hospital: Nanavati Max Hospital

I was really nervous walking into Nanavati for the first time. The whole hospital vibe is intimidating. Dr. Vani had this calm way of talking that just slowed my racing thoughts down. She asked about my sleep, my appetite—things I hadn't connected to my mood. In one session, she pieced together a pattern I'd missed for years. It wasn't a magic cure, but it was the first real understanding I'd had in a long time.
