Patient Experience
I'd been to three other doctors for months of fatigue and weird joint pains, everyone said it was stress. Dr. Samanth at Lilavati actually sat and listened, really listened, to everything. He ordered a specific blood test the others hadn't. Turns out it was something quite rare. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepaddidn't rush me at all. Finally having a name for it was a relief, even if the treatment is long.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital experience than the procedure itself. Parking was a nightmare, I was late and flustered. But from the moment I got to the day-care unit, it was straightforward. Dr. Samanth did the thing in what felt like ten minutes, cracked a small joke about cricket to distract me, and that was that. Healed up perfectly, no fuss.
My dad was admitted, and I spent a lot of time in that hospital. What stays with me isn't just Dr. Samanth's visitswhich were always clearbut how his team operated. The nurses on the floor knew his instructions inside out. One evening, a junior doctor even double-checked a detail with him on the phone right in front of us, just to be sure. It felt like everyone was connected, which made us feel secure in a scary time.
Look, I don't really like doctors. I find them intimidating. But Dr. Samanth has this calm, quiet way about him. He asks his questions, then just waits for you to answer fully. No typing on the computer while you talk. When he told me I needed to change some lifestyle habits, it didn't feel like a lecture. It felt like advice from someone who actually saw me as a person, not just the next appointment. That made me want to listen.
Had a persistent cough for weeks. Dr. Mehra at Lilavati got straight to it, ordered the right tests, and had a clear treatment plan in one visit. No fuss, just solved the problem so I could get back to work.
I've been seeing Dr. Ruhi Mehra for nearly a decade now, for everything from my diabetes to the odd chest infection. What I value most is that she remembers me, my history, and never rushes. She's consistent, and that builds real trust. You don't find that often.
Look, I was sick and needed a doctor. Friend recommended Dr. Mehra. She was good. Listened, explained things without the complicated jargon, and the meds she gave actually worked. The hospital's big, but her clinic was easy to find.
I went to Lilavati feeling really run down and anxious. The wait was about 20 minutes, which I expected. Dr. Mehra had this calm way about her that put me at ease. She asked a lot of questions, even some I thought were unrelated, and pieced together that it was a vitamin deficiency and stress, not something more serious. She laid out a simple plan for diet and follow-up. I left feeling heard and, honestly, relieved.
I've been seeing Dr. Anand for my blood pressure for over eight years now. She remembers the small thingslike asking after my daughter who was studying abroad last time we spoke. The clinic at Lilavati can get busy, and you might wait a bit, but she never rushes you out. That consistency, knowing exactly who you're going to see and that she has your whole history, is what keeps me coming back. It's just trust, built over time.
Had a stubborn skin rash for weeks. Went to Dr. Reema Anand. She looked at it, asked a few clear questions, prescribed a cream. Rash cleared up in four days. No fuss, no unnecessary tests. Parking at the hospital was a hassle that day, but the appointment itself was efficient and solved the problem.
I was quite worried about some persistent stomach issues. Dr. Anand has such a calm way about her; she listened quietly to all my concerns, which were probably a bit all over the place. She explained everything in simple terms and laid out a clear plan. Just talking to her made me feel lighter. The hospital environment is large, but in her room, it felt peaceful.
After months of feeling run-down and getting nowhere with other advice, my wife made me see Dr. Anand. What a difference! She connected dots others missed and diagnosed a simple vitamin deficiency. I've got my energy back. She’s sharp, really knows her stuff, and the relief is incredible. I’m telling all my friends about her.
I'd been to three doctors about this nagging fatigue and stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Malvankar at Lilavati actually sat and listened, really listened, to everything. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't even considered. Turns out it was a tricky parasite. She explained it all on a notepad, drew little diagrams. I finally had an answer, and a treatment that worked.
Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital experience than the procedure itself. But Dr. Malvankar made it so straightforward. The whole thing took maybe twenty minutes in her clinic at Lilavati. She talked me through each step as she did it, and it was over before I knew it. The follow-up was just a quick check. Felt very routine, in the best way possible.
The parking at Lilavati was a nightmare that day, I won't lie. I was flustered by the time I got to Dr. Malvankar's floor. But her receptionist, Simran I think her name was, was so calm. She got me checked in, found me a seat, and even brought me a glass of water. The whole place just felt efficient and clean, not cold. It made a stressful start much easier.
What I remember most is how Dr. Malvankar talked to my elderly mother. She didn't just talk to me. She knelt down by the chair to be at eye level with her, spoke slowly and clearly, and checked twice that Mum had understood the new medication plan. She has this quiet, patient way about her that just puts you at ease. You feel like a person, not a case file.
I'd been to a few doctors about this constant fatigue and weird joint pain. Everyone said it was stress or getting older. Dr. Pillai was the first one who actually listened to the whole, messy story. She ordered some different tests, connected dots the others missed, and figured out it was a specific autoimmune thing. It wasn't a quick fix, but having a name for it and a real plan changed everything. She didn't give up.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital process than the actual thing. But Dr. Pillai's team had it down. From the nurse who explained each step without rushing me to the anesthetist who cracked a silly joke right before I went under, it felt coordinated. The procedure itself was, well, a procedure. But the whole experience was so straightforward it took the fear out of it. Even the recovery room had a decent view.
Look, Lilavati is a big place and finding the clinic was a mission. I was flustered and late. But the moment I walked into Dr. Pillai's clinic, her receptionist just calmed me down with a smile and got me sorted. The place was busy but didn't feel chaotic. Dr. Pillai herself has this quiet, focused way about her. She remembers small things from past visitsasks about my daughter's exams she'd mentioned once. Makes you feel like a person, not just a file.
Fixed my hernia. Doc was clear, surgery went smooth, recovery's on track. No fuss.
