Patient Experience
I was quite nervous about my check-up, to be honest. I’ve always been a bit anxious around hospitals. Dr. Thati has a very calm way about him. He listened quietly to all my little concerns, even the ones I felt silly mentioning. He never rushed me. His advice was gentle but clear. It felt less like a doctor’s appointment and more like a conversation with someone who genuinely wanted to help. I left feeling much lighter, and cared for.
What a relief! I’d been dealing with this nagging cough for over a month, and it was really starting to drag me down. My friend recommended Dr. Thati at Lilavati. From the get-go, he was so thoroughchecked everything, asked about my work, my travel. He figured out it was a post-viral thing mixed with some allergies. The treatment plan he gave me worked like a charm. I’m finally sleeping through the night! So glad I went to see him.
Had my gallbladder out at Lilavati. Dr. Nabar checked on me every day, even on the weekend. The pain plan she set up actually workedI wasn't just gritting my teeth. Felt like she really knew what she was doing with the whole recovery bit, not just the surgery.
I was so scared going in for my stomach issues, first time seeing a specialist. Dr. Nabar just had this calm way about her. She actually listened to all my weird worries without making me feel silly. Left the clinic feeling like a weight was off my shoulders, honestly.
Needed a doctor, got Dr. Nabar. Straight to the point, clear advice. Fixed my issue. What more do you want? Parking at Lilavati is always a nightmare, though.
I'd been putting off seeing someone about this nagging pain for months. My appointment with Dr. Ashwini Nabar was late on a Friday; I figured she'd be rushed. She wasn't. She sat back, let me explain everything, and then walked me through her thinking step-by-step, drawing little diagrams on her notepad. It wasn't just 'take these pills.' She explained the 'why,' which made all the difference. Even called a week later to see how the new meds were settling. That kind of follow-up is rare.
The gallbladder surgery was my first, so I was pretty nervous. Recovery was tough the first couple days, but Dr. Shah's team had a clear plan for the pain. She checked on me every morning, adjusted my meds so I could actually get up and walk a bit. It wasn't magic, it still hurt, but it felt managed. She explained what was normal soreness and what wasn't, which stopped me from worrying over every little twinge. I'm home now and getting better each day.
Appendicitis. Came in through emergency. Dr. Shah saw me quickly, confirmed it needed to come out. Surgery was straightforward. She was clear, no-nonsense, answered my questions directly. Follow-up was efficient. Got the stitches out on time. Job done.
I had my hernia operation with Dr. Shah. She has a very calm way about her. When I was anxious before the procedure, she just listened and explained things again, very gently. The hospital was busy, but she never made me feel rushed. Her instructions for aftercare were simple to follow. I felt well looked after.
I was so scared going in for my first check-up. My hands were shaking. Dr. Agarwal just talked to me like a normal person, explained everything in simple words, and by the end I felt silly for being so nervous. He has a really calm way about him that just puts you at ease.
What a relief! I'd been putting off this procedure for ages, just scared of the whole thing. From the first consultation, Dr. Shah made it seem manageable. The surgery itself went fine, and when I woke up, the pain was nothing like I'd built up in my head. She came by with a big smile, told me everything went perfectly. I'm so glad it's over and I feel fantastic. Really, just a huge weight off my shoulders.
I'd been to a few doctors about this nagging fatigue and stomach issue, and everyone had a different theory. Honestly, I was starting to think it was all in my head. Dr. Pai was different. He didn't just glance at my file; he asked questions about things no one else had, even my travel history from years ago. He connected dots I didn't know existed and ordered a very specific test. Turns out, it was a rare parasitic infection from a trip I'd almost forgotten. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and finally feeling like myself.
My annual check-up with Dr. Pai was due, and I needed a minor cyst removed. I was nervous at first, I'll admit. But the whole thing was so straightforward. He talked me through each step in the room, the procedure itself took maybe ten minutes, and the parking garage being full that morning was the most stressful part. The follow-up was quick, the scar is barely there, and it just felt like efficient, no-nonsense care. Exactly what you want for something routine.
The hospital itself is impressive, but what stood out was how everyone worked together. When I came in for my consultation, the front desk lady saw I was anxious and offered a glass of water. The nurse who took my vitals was really gentle and cracked a small joke to lighten the mood. It felt like a team where everyone, from the reception to Dr. Pai, was on the same page. That kind of atmosphere makes a huge difference when you're not feeling your best.
What I'll remember most is how Dr. Pai talks to you. He doesn't stand over you; he pulls up a chair. When he explained my mother's treatment plan, he looked at her, not just me. He used simple words, drew a little diagram on his notepad, and checked twice to see if we had questions. He has this calm way about him that makes scary news feel manageable. You feel like a person in his care, not just another case.
For months, I just felt offtired, some weird pains, nothing that made sense. Saw a couple of doctors who said it was stress. Dr. Coelho was different. She actually listened to the whole confusing story, asked questions no one else had, and ordered a specific scan the others missed. Turns out it was a rare kind of abdominal issue. She explained it all in plain English, drew a little diagram on her notepad, and laid out a clear plan. I'm on the mend now, and honestly, I think she's the only one who would have figured it out.
I needed my gallbladder out, which was pretty straightforward, but I was still nervous. Dr. Coelho's team at Lilavati made it so simple. The whole process was explained step-by-step, no rushing. The surgery itself went fine, no surprises. Recovery was exactly what she said it would bea bit sore for a few days, then better. It's nice when things just go as planned. I was back to my normal routine much faster than I'd feared.
Look, 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 a nice touch. The nurses in Dr. Coelho's wing were really kind, especially when I was feeling anxious before a consultation. They offered water, made small talk to distract me. The place feels calm and clean, which matters more than you'd think when you're not feeling well.
What stuck with me about Dr. Coelho was how she talks to you. She doesn't just talk at you. During my follow-ups, she'd sit down, make eye contact, and really wait for me to answer. When I had a silly question about my medication, she didn't brush it off; she explained the 'why' behind it. She has this calm, direct way about her that makes you feel like you're in capable hands, not just being processed. It made a scary health situation feel manageable.
Fixed my hernia. Doc was clear, surgery went smooth, recovery's on track. No fuss.
