Patient Experience
Had my gallbladder removed last month. The surgery itself went fine, but the first two days after were rough. What really helped was how Dr. Shilpa handled the pain plan. She explained exactly what to expect and adjusted my meds when I needed it, without making me feel like I was complaining. Her follow-up calls to check on my progress made the recovery feel manageable, not scary.
Saw Dr. Shilpa for a nasty sinus infection. She listened, gave me a prescription that actually worked, and didn't push unnecessary tests. Straight to the point, which I appreciate. Got better in a few days.
I went to Lilavati with this lingering stomach pain that my local doctor couldn't figure out. Honestly, I was pretty nervous. Dr. Kulkarni spent a good 20 minutes just going over my history, asking about my diet and stress at work. She ordered a specific scan the others hadn't. Turned out to be a minor ulcer. She walked me through the treatment plan on a notepad, drawing little diagrams. The parking garage was full that day and I had to circle for ages, but weirdly, leaving her office, I felt lighter. She just has a way of making things clear.
I'd been to three other doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Kharkar was the first one who actually listened, really looked at my history, and ordered a specific test no one else had. Turns out it was a rare vitamin deficiency. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on a simple supplement now and feel like a different person.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Kharkar made it so straightforward. The whole thing took maybe twenty minutes in his clinic at Lilavati. He talked me through each step, and there was barely any discomfort. I was in and out, and the follow-up was just a quick check. It was exactly what you hope a routine thing will be.
The waiting area at Lilavati was packed, I won't lie. But the nurses at Dr. Kharkar's clinic were really on top of things. One of them saw I was looking lost and pointed me in the right direction. The whole place felt calm and clean, which helped a lot. By the time I saw the doctor, I was a lot less frazzled.
What stuck with me was how Dr. Kharkar talks to you. He doesn't just look at the file; he looks at you. When I was worried about some test results, he didn't brush it off. He sat down, drew a little diagram on his notepad to show me what was probably happening, and laid out the plan. Felt like I was talking to a very smart, very calm friend who just happens to know medicine.
My mother was admitted under Dr. Panjwani's care. Honestly, we were all scared and confused. But she was the one who actually explained things to us in a way that made sensenot just medical jargon. She took the time, even when she must have been busy. It made a huge difference for our family, knowing what was happening every step of the way.
Had my gallbladder out with Dr. Panjwani. The surgery itself went fine, but what really stood out was after. I was really worried about the pain. She checked on me personally every day, adjusted my meds so I could actually rest, and gave me clear instructions for home. Recovery wasn't fun, but she made it manageable. I'm back to my normal routine now.
Saw Dr. Panjwani for a persistent stomach issue. She's direct, no-nonsense, which I actually appreciate. Listened, asked the right questions, ordered the necessary tests. Got a clear diagnosis and a treatment plan that worked. Parking at Lilavati is always a nightmare, but the visit itself was worth it.
I'd been putting off seeing a doctor about some fatigue and weight loss for months, just chalking it up to stress. My wife finally made the appointment. From the first consult, Dr. Panjwani didn't rush. She pieced together symptoms I hadn't even thought were connected. She ordered specific blood work and a scan at Lilavati. Turns out it was a thyroid issue, not anything scarier. She called me herself with the results to explain it all. The whole process, from being a nervous wreck to having a straightforward treatment plan, felt handled with real care.
Our 8-year-old son had a high fever that just wouldn't break, and we were scared. Dr. Chauhan at Lilavati was the first doctor who really listened. He got down on my son's level, talked to him about his favorite cartoons before even looking at his throat. He explained everything to us in simple termswhat the likely virus was, why the fever was lasting, what to watch for. He didn't just throw medicine at us. He gave us a plan and his personal number in case things changed overnight. We left feeling like we had a partner, not just a prescription. Our boy is back to his energetic self now.
Severe abdominal pain. Went to Lilavati ER. Saw Dr. Vinay Chauhan. He was direct, asked clear questions, ordered the right scans quickly. Diagnosed a kidney stone. Explained the options: pain management vs. procedure. Chose meds. He laid out the timeline for passing it, what the pain would be like, when to come back. No sugar-coating. Followed his instructions. Passed the stone in 48 hours. Everything he said would happen, did. Efficient, knowledgeable care.
I was quite nervous about seeing a new doctor for my ongoing digestive issues. Dr. Chauhan has a very calm way about him. He never rushed me, even though the clinic was busy. He listened to all my little worries, the ones I thought were silly to mention. His advice was gentle but firmsmall diet changes first, then we'd see. He remembered my details from the last visit. It feels rare to find a doctor who is both so kind and so sharp. I'm managing much better now.
After weeks of feeling run-down and dizzy, I finally saw Dr. Chauhan. Honestly, I was bracing for a long process of tests and guesses. But he connected dots I didn't even see! He asked about my water intake and my new workout routine. Turns out I was just severely dehydrated and low on electrolytes. Such a simple fix! I'm so relieved it wasn't something serious. He gave me a straightforward plan to rehydrate properly. I feel like a new person. What a smart, practical doctor!
I'd been to three other doctors about my constant fatigue and stomach issues. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Thakker was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to everything I was saying. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a tricky thyroid problem that was mimicking other things. She explained it all with a diagram on her notepadno jargon. Finally felt like someone had found the right puzzle piece.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Thakker made it so straightforward. The whole thing felt very normal, like getting a tire changed. She told me exactly what she'd do, how long it would take, and what the scar might look like. It was over in twenty minutes. The follow-up was just a quick check-in call from her nurse. Sometimes simple is good.
Saw Dr. Joshi for a persistent stomach issue. Parking at Lilavati was a nightmare, as usual. But the doc was greatstraight to the point, ordered the right tests, fixed me up. No fuss. Would recommend.
The parking at Lilavati is always a bit of a hunt, I won't lie. But once I got inside, the whole process was easy. The front desk people found my file quickly, and the nurse who took my vitals was really kindshe could see I was anxious and just chatted about the weather. The clinic itself felt calm and clean, which helped a lot. It made seeing Dr. Thakker feel less like a big medical event.
What stays with me is how Dr. Thakker talks to you. I'm an older patient, and sometimes doctors rush. She doesn't. She pulls her chair up, looks you in the eye, and asks about your family or your garden before diving in. When she explained my new medication, she waited for me to repeat it back in my own words to make sure I got it. It's that kind of care that makes you feel safe.
