Patient Experience
Wow, what a difference! I'd been putting off this hernia repair for ages, scared of the recovery. Dr. Prasad and his team were fantastic. The surgery itself was smooth, and the pain after was nothing like I'd built up in my head. I'm already back to light chores and feeling like myself. So glad I finally went through with it!
Had a persistent stomach issue for months. Saw Dr. Goel at Lilavati. He listened, asked direct questions, and ordered the right tests quickly. Diagnosis was clear, treatment plan was straightforward. Follow-up was efficient. Problem resolved. Exactly what I needed.
I'd been to three other doctors with this nagging abdominal pain, everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Parekh was the first one who actually sat and listened to my whole history, even the bits I thought were irrelevant. He ordered a specific scan the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a rare intestinal issue. He explained it to me with a diagram on his notepaddidn't rush, even though I know he's busy. Finding the real problem after months of worry was a massive relief.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous about any kind of surgery, even a minor one. Dr. Parekh walked me through the whole thing in simple terms, told me exactly what to expect. The procedure itself was over in what felt like minutes. The follow-up was straightforward, no complications. Sometimes simple things done right are what you need most.
The hospital itself is huge and can feel a bit overwhelming. I got lost trying to find the billing desk after my appointment. One of the nurses from Dr. Parekh's floor saw me looking confused and actually walked me all the way there. It's a small thing, but that kind of help when you're not feeling your best really sticks with you. The whole team there seems to be on the same page.
What I remember most is how he talked to my elderly mother. She was scared and kept asking the same questions. Dr. Parekh never showed a hint of impatience. He held her hand, looked her right in the eye, and repeated the answers calmly every single time. He treated her like a person, not just a patient. That meant more to our family than any medicine.
At my age, you get used to doctors being in a hurry. Dr. Pujari was different. He took his time with me at Lilavati, explained everything about my medication in simple terms, and never made me feel like a bother. His manner is very kind. I left feeling properly looked after, not just processed.
I was so anxious before my appointment, my hands were shaking. Dr. Pujari just had this calm way about him that settled me right down. He listened to all my worries, didn't dismiss anything, and laid out a clear plan. I'm not scared to go back now. Honestly, just what I needed.
Saw Dr. Pujari for a stubborn stomach issue. Straight shooter, got to the point, ordered the right tests. Fixed me up. Parking at Lilavati is always a nightmare, but the doc was efficient.
Severe abdominal pain. Went to Lilavati ER. Admitted. Dr. Sudhir Ambekar was assigned. Clear diagnosis: acute appendicitis. Explained the surgery needed, risks, recovery. No sugar-coating. Surgery was smooth. Post-op care was direct and effective. Discharged in two days. Follow-up was straightforward. He answers questions clearly. Gets to the point. Good doctor.
I'd been feeling run-down for months, just off. My usual doc retired, so I booked with Dr. Pujari as a shot in the dark. The wait was a little long, but once I was in, he asked questions no one else had. He actually connected some dots between my sleep, my diet, and this low-grade fatigue. We adjusted a few things, and I've had more energy these past few weeks than I have in a year. It wasn't a magic pill; it was someone actually putting the puzzle together.
I'd been to three other doctors about this constant fatigue and weird joint pain. They all said it was stress or maybe just getting older. Dr. Nayak was the first one who actually listened to my whole history, even the stuff I thought was irrelevant. He ordered a specific blood test the others hadn't. Turns out it was something pretty rare. He explained it to me in plain English, no jargon, and laid out a clear plan. I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere.
Had to get a cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but the whole thing was so straightforward. Dr. Nayak talked me through each step before he did it, which really helped. The procedure itself was quick, and the recovery was exactly as he said it would beno surprises. It's a relief to have it done and not be a big deal.
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 in Dr. Nayak's section were really kind, especially when I was waiting and feeling a bit anxious. They offered water and just had a calm way about them. It makes a difference when the whole place feels organized and human.
What stuck with me about Dr. Nayak was how he talked to my elderly mother. She gets confused easily. He didn't just talk to me about her care; he sat down, made eye contact with her, and explained things slowly, checking if she understood. He treated her with such respect, not like a problem to be solved. You don't see that everywhere. That patience meant more than any medicine.
I'd been to three other doctors with this weird, constant fatigue and stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Dange was the first one who actually sat and listened to my whole history, even the bits I thought were irrelevant. He ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a tricky parasite. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepadno fancy terms, just clear lines. I'm finally on the right meds and feeling like myself again.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital process than the cut itself. But Dr. Dange's team made it simple. The procedure itself was over in what felt like minutes. He checked in right after, and the follow-up instructions were clear. The whole thing was just... straightforward. No drama, no fuss, just good care.
The waiting area at Lilavati was packed, I won't lie. But the nurses at Dr. Dange's clinic were really on top of things. One of them noticed my mom looked a bit lost and walked her to the pharmacy herself. The place is clean and calm once you're in. It's the little thingssomeone offering a glass of water, the receptionist remembering my name from last timethat make a difference when you're not feeling great.
What stuck with me was how Dr. Dange talks to you. He doesn't just talk at you. Before my surgery, he pulled up a chair, looked me right in the eye, and asked if I had any fears about it. I admitted I was scared of the anesthesia. He didn't dismiss it; he explained exactly how they monitor you, step by step. He has this quiet, steady way about him that just makes you feel safe.
I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging abdominal pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Ramani was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to the whole weird timeline. He ordered a specific scan the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a rare type of hernia. It wasn't a quick fix, but he explained it all in a way that finally made sense. He didn't make me feel foolish for pushing for answers.
