Patient Experience
Our 8-year-old son had a high fever that just wouldn't break, and we were scared. Dr. Chauhan at Lilavati was the first doctor who really listened. He got down on my son's level, talked to him about his favorite cartoons before even looking at his throat. He explained everything to us in simple termswhat the likely virus was, why the fever was lasting, what to watch for. He didn't just throw medicine at us. He gave us a plan and his personal number in case things changed overnight. We left feeling like we had a partner, not just a prescription. Our boy is back to his energetic self now.
Severe abdominal pain. Went to Lilavati ER. Saw Dr. Vinay Chauhan. He was direct, asked clear questions, ordered the right scans quickly. Diagnosed a kidney stone. Explained the options: pain management vs. procedure. Chose meds. He laid out the timeline for passing it, what the pain would be like, when to come back. No sugar-coating. Followed his instructions. Passed the stone in 48 hours. Everything he said would happen, did. Efficient, knowledgeable care.
I was quite nervous about seeing a new doctor for my ongoing digestive issues. Dr. Chauhan has a very calm way about him. He never rushed me, even though the clinic was busy. He listened to all my little worries, the ones I thought were silly to mention. His advice was gentle but firmsmall diet changes first, then we'd see. He remembered my details from the last visit. It feels rare to find a doctor who is both so kind and so sharp. I'm managing much better now.
After weeks of feeling run-down and dizzy, I finally saw Dr. Chauhan. Honestly, I was bracing for a long process of tests and guesses. But he connected dots I didn't even see! He asked about my water intake and my new workout routine. Turns out I was just severely dehydrated and low on electrolytes. Such a simple fix! I'm so relieved it wasn't something serious. He gave me a straightforward plan to rehydrate properly. I feel like a new person. What a smart, practical doctor!
