Dr. Vasant C. Nagvekar

Our two-year-old, Rohan, had been running a fever that just wouldn't quit for five days. We were scared out of our minds, and the pediatrician we saw first just kept changing the antibiotics. At Lilavati, we waited a bit in the clinic, which was hard with a fussy toddler, but when Dr. Nagvekar came in, he just had this calm way about him. He actually sat on the floor to get on Rohan's level, listened to everything, and then explained it wasn't a simple infection but likely something called Kawasaki disease. He walked us through the whole treatment plan, answered my frantic questions at 10 PM on the phone, and never made us feel like a bother. Seeing Rohan's smile come back after the treatment was everything.

Severe abdominal pain. Went to Lilavati ER. They referred me to Dr. Vasant Nagvekar. He saw me quickly, asked specific questions, ordered the right scans. Diagnosed a complicated gallbladder issue. Explained the surgery options clearlylaparoscopic vs. open. Did the surgery two days later. Minimal pain. Discharged in three days. Follow-up was straightforward. No nonsense. Effective care.

I’ve been managing my blood pressure for years, but it became erratic recently. My previous doctor had retired, and I was quite anxious about finding someone new. A friend suggested Dr. Nagvekar. His clinic was busy, but he wasn’t rushed with me. He has a very quiet, listening manner. He reviewed all my old records, asked about my diet and stress, and adjusted my medication gently. He said, ‘Let’s try this and see how you feel next week.’ It felt like a partnership, not a lecture. My numbers are much better now, and I feel heard.

Wow, what a difference! I’d been feeling utterly drained for monthsno energy, weird aches. My local doc ran a few tests, said it was just ‘stress’ and to take vitamins. I pushed for a second opinion and got to see Dr. Nagvekar. He took one look at my file, asked a bunch of questions I hadn’t been asked before, and suspected a thyroid issue. Bingo! The blood work confirmed it. Started on medication and within a few weeks, I felt like a new person! I’m back at the gym, my brain fog is gone. So glad I didn’t just settle. Dr. Nagvekar actually figured it out!
