Patient Experience
My mother was admitted under Dr. Sirsat's care. What stood out for me was how he took the time to explain everything to us, her children, in simple terms. He didn't just talk to the patient; he talked to the family. Even when we called the hospital at odd hours, the nurses said he'd left clear notes about our concerns. That meant the world when we were all so worried.
Saw Dr. Sirsat for a persistent stomach issue. He's direct, no-nonsense, which I actually liked. Listened, asked pointed questions, ordered the right tests. Got a diagnosis and a treatment plan that made sense. Parking at Lilavati is always a nightmare, but the appointment itself was efficient.
I'd been putting off this hernia operation for years, just scared of the whole hospital process. From the first consultation, Dr. Sirsat had a calm way about him. He drew a simple diagram on his notepad to show me what he'd do. On the day, I was nervous, but he cracked a small joke about the weather as they were wheeling me in, which oddly helped. The recovery was step-by-stephe told me exactly what to expect each week, and he was pretty much spot on. It felt like he'd done it a thousand times, but he still made it feel personal for me.
I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Cheryl Marie D'souza actually listened to the whole, messy story, asked questions the others didn't, and ordered a specific test. Turns out it was a tricky parasite. She explained it in a way that finally made sense, and the treatment worked. She just didn't give up.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital process than the cut. But Dr. D'souza's team at Lilavati had it down. In, out, clear instructions. The procedure itself was quick, and she checked in the next day personally. It was just... straightforward, which is exactly what you want for something routine.
Parking at Lilavati was a nightmare that day, I won't lie. But once I got inside, the difference was huge. The front desk staff saw I was flustered and helped me out. The nurse in Dr. D'souza's section was really kind, and the whole place felt calm and clean. It took the edge off a stressful visit.
Look, I'm a bad patient. I hate hospitals and I get snippy when I'm scared. When I came in with a bad fever, Dr. D'souza had this way about her. No fake cheer, just direct, calm talk. She sat down while explaining things, didn't rush me. She even joked about my terrible taste in movies to get my mind off the IV. Felt like talking to a very smart, no-nonsense friend.
Had my gallbladder out with Dr. Soni last month. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a clear plan for the pain that actually worked. He checked on me every morning, adjusted things based on how I was feeling, and didn't just rush me out. The follow-up call a week later was a nice touchmade sure I was managing at home okay.
I've been seeing Dr. Soni for my diabetes and hypertension for over eight years now. What I appreciate is that he remembers me, remembers my history, and we just pick up where we left off. He's not one for dramatic changes; it's steady, sensible adjustments. You build a kind of quiet trust with a doctor over that long. He's at Lilavati, so sometimes the wait is a bit long, but I don't mind because I know I'll get his full attention when it's my turn.
Needed a doctor for a nasty stomach bug. Friend recommended Dr. Soni. Got an appointment, he listened, gave me a prescription, told me what to eat. Felt better in two days. Straightforward, no fuss. Would go again.
I was really nervousfound a lump and my mind went to the worst places. The clinic was busy, but Dr. Soni was calm. He didn't dismiss my fear. He examined me, asked a lot of questions about my family history I hadn't even thought were relevant, and explained each possible next step in plain language. He scheduled the tests himself to speed things up. Turned out to be a benign cyst, thank goodness. The relief was huge, but what stuck with me was how he handled the scare. He took the time when I needed it most.
Had a gallbladder removal with Dr. Shah last month. The surgery itself went fine, but what really stood out was the aftercare. He checked on me personally every day, even on Sunday, and adjusted my pain meds so I wasn't just knocked out. He explained what the pain meant and when to worry. I was walking the halls by day two. Felt human again much faster than my friend who had the same thing done elsewhere.
I've been seeing Dr. Shah for my diabetes and hypertension for over eight years now. In a city where doctors change clinics like shirts, he's been a constant at Lilavati. He remembers my history, asks about my family, and never rushes the appointment. His approach is steadyno dramatic shifts in medication, just careful, consistent adjustments. That predictability is everything when you're managing a condition long-term. You build trust slowly, and he's earned all of it.
Look, I needed a doctor for a general check-up and a weird rash. Friend recommended Dr. Shah. Got an appointment, waited a bit (parking at Lilavati is always a mess), but the wait was worth it. He was straight to the point, diagnosed the rash in minutes, gave clear instructions. No fluff, no scare tactics. Fixed me up. Good doctor.
My story with Dr. Shah started with a persistent stomach ache my local GP couldn't figure out. I was nervous, expecting the worst at a big hospital. From the first meeting, he just listened. Really listened, while taking notes on an actual pad. He ordered tests but explained why each one mattered. Turned out to be a manageable ulcer, nothing scary. The follow-up call from him a week later to see if the new diet was helping? That sealed it for me. He treated the worry as seriously as the pain.
My family has been seeing Dr. Deshpande for over a decade now. He remembers details from years ago, asks about my daughter by name. That consistency means something. The hospital is busy, you sometimes wait a bit, but when he walks in, he’s present. He doesn’t rush. He explains things in a way that makes sense, even when it’s complicated. I don’t look for other opinions anymore; I trust his.
Had a persistent stomach issue. Saw Dr. Rajas Deshpande at Lilavati. He listened, asked clear questions, ordered the right tests. Explained the results without any fluff. Prescribed a treatment plan. It worked. Parking was a hassle that day, but the consultation was worth it. Straightforward and effective.
I was quite nervous about my check-up, but Dr. Deshpande has such a calm way about him. He took his time, never made me feel like I was asking silly questions. He even drew a little diagram to show me what was happening. It felt like he genuinely cared about putting my mind at ease, not just checking a box. I left feeling much lighter.
After months of feeling run-down and getting nowhere with other doctors, my wife insisted I see Dr. Deshpande. What a difference! He actually connected the dots between symptoms I thought were separate. Started a new treatment last month and I finally have my energy back. I wish I’d gone to him sooner. The man knows his stuff!
I've been seeing Dr. Kulkarni for my diabetes and blood pressure for about eight years now. She remembers the little thingslike asking about my grandson's exams last timewhich makes a huge difference. The clinic at Lilavati can get busy and you might wait a bit, but she never rushes you out. I trust her completely because she's consistent; if a treatment isn't working, she's honest about it and we try something else. That kind of reliability is hard to find.
