Patient Experience
I was quite worried about some persistent stomach issues. Dr. Jayshankar has a very calm way about him. He listened quietly to all my concerns, which were probably a bit all over the place, and then explained everything in such a simple, clear manner. He didn't order a bunch of tests right away, just suggested a dietary change first. It worked. I felt heard, and that meant a lot.
After months of feeling run-down and getting nowhere with other doctors, my wife booked me an appointment with Dr. Patel. What a difference! She actually connected the dots between all my weird, scattered symptoms. Turned out to be a thyroid issue. When she explained the plan, I finally felt hopeful. Started the medication, and wowthe energy is coming back! My family says I'm like my old self again. Dr. Patel is brilliant. Honestly, she figured out what everyone else missed.
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this constant fatigue and weird joint pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Vaidya actually listened. He asked questions about stuff I hadn't even thought was connected, like a rash I'd ignored. He ordered some specific tests and it turned out to be something called lupus. It was scary to hear, but finally having a name for it and a plan made all the difference. He explained it without sugar-coating, which I needed.
Had to get my gallbladder out. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Vaidya made the whole thing feel straightforward. He walked me through exactly what would happen, step by step, and answered all my 'what if' questions without making me feel silly. The surgery itself was fine, recovery was exactly as he said it would be. No drama, just good, clear care from start to finish.
The parking at Lilavati is always a bit of a hunt, I won't lie! But once you're inside, it's a different story. The front desk people remembered my name on my second visit, which was nice. The nurses on the floor were really kind, especially when I was feeling groggy after my procedure. One of them even helped me call my son when my phone battery died. It's a busy place, but the staff make it feel less impersonal.
What stuck with me about Dr. Vaidya was how he talked to my elderly mother. She gets confused easily and is hard of hearing. He didn't just talk to me about her care. He sat down, looked right at her, spoke slowly and clearly, and checked she understood every point. He treated her with such simple respect. You don't see that everywhere. That meant more to our family than any medicine.
Had my gallbladder out last month. The first few days were rough, I won't lie. But Dr. Rege's team had a clear plan for the pain. They didn't just throw pills at me; they explained what to expect and when to ease off the meds. I felt listened to, even about the little things like how to get out of bed. It made the whole recovery feel manageable, week by week.
Appendicitis. Went to Lilavati in a lot of pain. Dr. Tushar Rege saw me quickly, explained the need for surgery plainly. No sugar-coating. Procedure was smooth. Follow-up was directhere's what to do, here's what to avoid. Parking was a nightmare that day, but the medical part was efficient. Got the job done.
I was quite nervous before my hernia operation. Dr. Rege has a very calm way about him. He took time to answer all my family's questions, never made us feel rushed. The care after was gentle and considerate. It felt like more than just clinical treatment; there was a kindness to it that helped a great deal.
What a relief! I'd been putting off this surgery for ages, just scared of the whole thing. From the first consultation, Dr. Rege cut through the worry with facts and confidence. The day of, his whole team was fantastic. Waking up and knowing it was over, and that everything went exactly as he said it would... I'm just so glad it's done. Back to my normal life now!
My 8-year-old son had been complaining of stomach aches for weeks. We'd seen a couple of doctors, but nothing seemed to stick. I was a wreck. When we met Dr. Joshi, he didn't just talk to mehe got down on my son's level. He asked him about his favorite cricket player while he was examining him. He explained everything to me in a way that didn't make me feel stupid for being worried. The treatment plan was simple, but it worked. My boy is back to his old self. It was the patience and the way he connected with a scared kid that made all the difference.
Severe abdominal pain. Went to Lilavati's ER. Was admitted. Dr. Shashank Joshi took my case. He was clear. Explained it was my gallbladder. Needed surgery. He laid out the options, the risks, the recovery timeline. No sugar-coating. Surgery went as planned. Follow-up was straightforward. I'm back to work. He's a competent doctor who communicates well. That's what you need.
I've always been rather anxious about hospitals, to be honest. The whole place makes me nervous. But from the moment Dr. Joshi walked in, his manner was so calm. He listened to all my little worries about my persistent acidity without making me feel rushed. His voice was quiet, and he explained things gently. Yes, the parking lot was very crowded that day, and I had to wait a bit, but once I was with him, I felt heard. He adjusted my medication slightly, and it's made a world of difference. I'm so grateful for his kindness.
Okay, full disclosure: I was terrified. The word 'surgery' just freaks me out. I had a hernia that was getting worse, and my GP said I needed to see a specialist. Dr. Joshi? Total rockstar. He showed me on the model exactly what was going on, cracked a little joke about it not being a design flaw, just wear and tear. The whole team was great, but he just had this way of making it seem manageable. Had the laparoscopic procedure, recovery was way easier than I thought! I'm back at the gym, feeling fantastic. Dr. Joshi and his team are brilliant!
My dad was admitted under Dr. Vaishali Naik's care last month. Honestly, we were all scared and confused. She was the only one who took the time to explain everything to us in simple terms, not just once but every single day. She'd call me directly with updates and never made us feel like we were bothering her with questions. It made a horrible situation feel manageable.
I'm the kind of person who gets nervous just calling to make a doctor's appointment. First time seeing Dr. Naik and I was a wreck in the waiting room. But she was just... calm. She listened to my whole rambling story, didn't rush me, and actually smiled. She laid out a clear plan and said 'we'll figure this out together.' Left feeling like a weight was lifted, honestly. Still have to do some tests, but I'm not panicking about it anymore.
Saw Dr. Naik for a persistent stomach issue. Quick to diagnose, clear treatment plan. Fixed the problem. What more do you want? Parking at Lilavati is always a nightmare, though.
I'd been feeling run-down for monthsjust low energy, couldn't shake a cough. My usual GP kept saying it was stress. I booked with Dr. Naik on a friend's push. The difference was immediate. She spent the first ten minutes just asking about my job, my sleep, things no one else had. She connected dots I didn't even see, ordered specific blood tests the others missed. Turns out it was a vitamin deficiency and a mild infection. She called with the results herself on a Saturday. It wasn't just about the prescription; it was about someone finally seeing the whole picture, not just the symptoms. I've been feeling like myself for weeks now.
I'd been to a few doctors for this nagging abdominal pain, and everyone had a different theory. Honestly, I was getting frustrated. Dr. Panikar listened to my whole history again, asked some really specific questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered one more scan. He called me himself with the resultsit was a rare type of hernia that was easy to miss. He explained it in simple terms and the surgery plan made sense. Finally, an answer.
Fixed my hernia. Doc was clear, surgery went smooth, recovery's on track. No fuss.
