At my age, one doesn't relish hospital visits. I was quite anxious about my persistent fatigue. Dr. Vahia's clinic at Lilavati was busy, I did wait a bit, but once in his room, he put me at ease immediately. He didn't rush me, listened to every old ache I described, and explained things in a way I could understand. His approach was very gentle. I left feeling cared for, not just treated. That means a great deal.
Had a concerning abdominal pain. Went to Lilavati. Saw Dr. Vihang Vahia. He was clear, asked direct questions, and ordered the right tests. Explained the diagnosis (thankfully minor) and the treatment plan without unnecessary detail. Follow-up was efficient. Problem resolved. Good doctor.
I was so worried before my appointment. I'm not very good with medical terms. But Dr. Vahia was so kind. He spoke softly, made sure I was following along, and even drew a little diagram for me. He has a very calm way about him. The hospital is large, but in his office, I felt heard. I'm very grateful for his patience and his care.
Honestly, I was a mess before seeing Dr. Vahia! I'd been to two other doctors and was getting nowhere with this weird stomach issue. From the first minute, he was different. He actually looked at my whole history, connected some dots I didn't see, and figured it out! The relief was huge. The meds he suggested worked within days. Finally, someone who really listened and knew his stuff. So glad I found him!
