Patient Experience
I'd been to three doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Swati was different. She actually listened, asked about things no one else did, and ordered a specific test the others hadn't. Turned out it was a tricky parasite. She explained it all on a notepad, drawing the lifecycle. It wasn't stress at all, and I finally got the right treatment.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Swati made it feel like no big deal. The whole thing was over in what felt like ten minutes. She talked me through each step as she did it, and the stitches were so neat you can barely see the scar now. It was one of the easiest medical things I've ever done.
The parking at Lilavati was a nightmare that day, completely full. I was flustered by the time I got to the clinic. But the lady at Dr. Temkar's front desk was so calm and got me sorted. The waiting area was quiet, and they had proper magazines, not just old ones. It made a stressful start much better. Even the nurse who took my vitals had a really kind way about her.
My son, who's eight, had a bad fever and was terrified of doctors. Dr. Swati didn't just talk to me; she got down to his level. She showed him how her stethoscope worked, let him listen to his own heart. She called his medicine 'superhero juice'. He left asking when he could see her again. That's a special kind of skill.
I'd been to a few doctors about this nagging fatigue and stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Baliga was different. She actually listened, asked a bunch of questions that seemed unrelated, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was something pretty rare with my thyroid affecting my gut. She explained it all with a diagram on her notepadno fancy jargon. I'm finally on the right treatment, and it feels like a fog has lifted.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Baliga made it feel like no big deal. The whole thing was over in what felt like twenty minutes. She talked me through each step, the stitches were neat, and the follow-up was just a quick check-in call from her nurse. It healed perfectly. Sometimes simple things done right are what matter most.
The parking at Lilavati was a nightmare that day, completely full. I arrived flustered for my appointment. But from the front desk to the nurse who took my vitals, everyone was calm and kind. The nurse saw I was anxious and offered me some water while I waited a bit. The whole place just felt efficient and clean, which really helped settle my nerves before I even saw the doctor.
What I remember most is how Dr. Baliga sat down with me and my wife after my scan results. She didn't just talk at us; she made sure we were following along and asked if we had questions. There was no rush. She has this quiet, steady way about her that makes you feel like you're in safe hands, even when the news isn't great. That kind of calm presence is rare.
I'd been to three other doctors for this constant fatigue and weird joint pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Varma was the first one who actually listened to my whole history, asked about a rash I'd had years ago, and ordered the right tests. Turns out it was something pretty rare. She explained it all with a diagram on her notepadno fancy jargonand we finally had a plan. It felt like someone had turned the lights on after months of fumbling in the dark.
Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital experience than the procedure itself. But Dr. Varma's team made it so straightforward. The whole thing was over in what felt like twenty minutes. She checked in the next day herself with a call, just to ask if the pain was manageable. It’s the follow-up that sticks with you; you don't feel like just another item on a list.
Look, Lilavati is a big place and finding the right wing was a mission. I got there flustered because the parking was a nightmare. But from the front desk to the nurse who took my vitals, everyone was calm and pointed me in the right direction. The ward itself was quiet, which helped a lot. When Dr. Varma came in, she’d clearly already spoken to the nurse, so we didn't have to start from zero. It felt like a team looking after you, not just one person.
My son, who's eight, had a bad scare and needed stitches. He was hysterical. Dr. Varma didn't just talk to me; she got down on his level, showed him the tools (calling the needle a 'sleepy bee'), and let him hold the gauze. She turned what could have been a traumatic memory into him feeling brave. As a parent, that kindness meant more than any medicine. We left with a lollipop and a much calmer kid.
For months, I just felt offtired, some aches, nothing that pointed to one thing. Saw a couple of doctors who said it was stress. Dr. Sable was different. He actually listened to the whole confusing story, asked questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests others hadn't. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that was mimicking other problems. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and feel like myself again. He didn't just shrug and send me home.
I needed a minor cyst removal. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital experience than the procedure itself. But from check-in to leaving, it was straightforward. Dr. Sable's team had everything ready, the procedure itself was quick, and he talked me through each step as it happened. I was in and out in a few hours. The follow-up call from his nurse the next day to check on me was a nice touch I wasn't expecting.
The place itself, Lilavati, is busyI had to circle for parking. But once inside, the difference was clear. The front desk staff were patient with my questions, and the nurse in Dr. Sable's clinic had a really calm way about her. She could see I was anxious and just chatting about everyday things while taking my vitals helped a lot. It felt less like a factory and more like a place where people actually pay attention.
What stuck with me most was how Dr. Sable talks to you. He doesn't rush. When he came in, he sat down, looked at me, not his computer. He asked about my work and how my symptoms were affecting my day before diving into the medical stuff. When he explained my treatment plan, he drew a simple diagram on a notepad. It felt like he was talking *with* me, not *at* me. That kind of respect is rare.
I was really scared before my appointment. I’d never had a proper check-up before and my mind was racing with all the things that could be wrong. The waiting area at Lilavati was busy and I almost left. But Dr. Shah was so calm. He didn't rush me, explained everything in simple words, and actually listened when I talked. I left feeling like a weight was off my shoulders. He made a scary thing feel normal.
One doesn't always expect such kindness in a big hospital. Dr. Shah has a very gentle way about him. He remembered small details from my last visit and asked about them. His advice was practical and he took the time to make sure I understood. It felt like being cared for by a wise family friend, not just a doctor.
Finally! After months of feeling run-down and seeing a couple of other doctors, I met Dr. Shah. He connected the dots others missed. He was so thorough, checking things I hadn't even mentioned. When he explained what was going on, I felt this huge wave of relieflike, okay, we have a real answer now. The whole team was great, but he’s the reason I’m finally on the mend. What a difference!
Fixed my hernia. Doc was clear, surgery went smooth, recovery's on track. No fuss.
