Patient Experience
At my age, one becomes rather cautious about new doctors. I was quite nervous before my appointment with Dr. Sanghvi. The hospital was busy, and my son had to drop me off as the parking was full. But from the moment I entered his room, I felt at ease. He didn't rush me at all. He listened to every old ache I described, asked about my daily routine, and explained my new medication in such a clear way. He has a very calming presence. I left feeling properly looked after, not just another file on a desk.
Had a persistent stomach issue for weeks. Went to Lilavati, saw Dr. Nayan Sanghvi. He asked direct questions, ordered the right tests, and diagnosed the problem quickly. Explained the treatment plan clearly. No fluff. Followed his advice, and the issue resolved. Efficient and effective care. Would recommend.
I was feeling very run down and anxious for a long time. Speaking to Dr. Sanghvi was… reassuring. He has a quiet way of listening that makes you feel heard. He took time to go over everything, never made me feel silly for my worries. The treatment he suggested was simple but it has made a real difference in how I feel each day. I'm very grateful for his kindness and attention.
Okay, full disclosure: I was a wreck before my appointment. Convinced it was something serious. Dr. Sanghvi was fantastic! He actually laughed (in a nice way) when I told him my internet search history and said, 'Let's start from scratch.' He was so thorough and practical. When the tests came back clear, he didn't just send me off; he talked to me about stress and lifestyle. What a relief! He's the kind of doctor you want in your corner.
I was so worried before my appointment. I'd been feeling unwell for weeks and had built up all these fears in my head. Dr. Varun has such a calm way about him. He didn't dismiss my concerns, even the silly ones. He took his time, and by the end of the consultation, I felt heard and, honestly, much lighter. The treatment plan he suggested was gentle and it worked. I'm just so grateful for his kind manner.
My 8-year-old son developed a high fever that just wouldn't break, and he was complaining of a terrible stomach ache. We were really scared. The emergency room at Lilavati was busy, but once we got to see Dr. Raina, he was so calm. He didn't just talk to me; he got down on my son's level, asked him about his favorite cartoon character while gently checking his abdomen. He explained everything to us in simple termsit was a bad case of gastroenteritis, not something more serious. He took the time to make sure my son wasn't terrified of the hospital. That meant more to me than anything. We left with clear instructions, and my boy is back to his energetic self now.
Had a persistent abdominal issue for months. Saw Dr. Shailesh Raina at Lilavati. He listened, asked direct questions, and ordered the right scans. Diagnosis was clear: needed my gallbladder out. He explained the laparoscopic procedure, the recovery time, the risks. No sugar-coating. Surgery went as planned. Stayed one night. Follow-up was straightforward. Problem solved. Efficient and competent care.
I was quite nervous about my procedure, to be honest. The whole hospital environment makes me a bit anxious. Dr. Raina has a very gentle way about him. He spoke softly, never rushed me, and answered all my little questions without making me feel silly. When I mentioned I was worried about the anesthesia, he patiently explained how it would work and who would be monitoring me. It wasn't just about fixing the physical problem; he cared that I was comfortable in my mind, too. The care felt very personal, and for that, I'm truly grateful.
Wow, what a difference! I'd been putting off getting this hernia checked because I was dreading surgery. Finally went to see Dr. Raina. From the first appointment, he was fantasticconfident and really put me at ease. The surgery itself was smooth, and the recovery has been so much easier than I'd built up in my head. I'm already back to my weekly cricket game! The whole team at Lilavati was great, but Dr. Raina really knew his stuff. So glad I went through with it!
I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging abdominal pain, and everyone had a different theory. Honestly, I was getting a bit desperate. Dr. Shah listened to the whole history again, asked some questions the others hadn't, and ordered one specific scan. Turned out it was a rare type of hernia that was easy to miss. He explained it with a simple diagram on his notepad. Finally having an answer, and a clear fix, was such a relief.
My annual check-up flagged something that needed a minor biopsy. I was nervous, of course, but the whole thing was over so fast. Dr. Shah talked me through each step as he did it'just a small pinch now'and it really was. I was in and out of his clinic in under an hour. Sometimes, you just appreciate when something that could be stressful is just... straightforward.
The parking at Lilavati is always a bit of a hunt, I'll admit. But once inside, it makes a difference. For my dad's post-op visits, the staff at Dr. Shah's clinic remembered his name and would help him get settled. The place is calm, not chaotic. It sounds small, but when you're not feeling great, those little thingsa smile from the receptionist, a clean waiting areaactually matter a lot.
What stuck with me was how Dr. Shah spoke to my mother. She's elderly and gets flustered easily. He never rushed her. He'd sit down, look right at her, and explain things in such a plain way, checking if she understood. He has this quiet, patient way about him that just puts you at ease. You feel like you're his only patient for those few minutes.
I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging pain in my side, and everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Bhagat actually listened. He asked questions the others didn't, ordered a specific scan the others hadn't thought of, and found the problema small, tricky hernia that was easy to miss. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad. Finally, an answer.
Had to get my gallbladder out. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Bhagat made it sound so straightforward. The surgery itself was fine, recovery was exactly as he said it would bea bit sore for a few days but manageable. No surprises, no drama. Sometimes you just want things to go as planned, and this did.
The waiting area at Lilavati was packed, I had to circle for parking, but once I got in, it made sense. The nurses were really on the ball, and the ward was quiet and clean. Dr. Bhagat's team kept my family updated without us having to chase them down. The place runs smoothly, which helps when you're not feeling your best.
What stuck with me was how Dr. Bhagat talked to my elderly mother. He didn't rush. He sat down, looked her in the eye, and explained her arthritis treatment in simple terms, checking she understood each point. He has a calm, direct way about him that just makes you feel like you're in good hands. You don't find that everywhere.
My family has been seeing Dr. Gunavanthe for over a decade now. He remembers the small thingsmy husband's old knee injury, my daughter's allergies. It's not about one big miracle; it's about him being the constant, reliable doctor you can call when anything comes up. The hospital can be busy, but walking into his clinic feels straightforward. He doesn't rush, and he explains things in a way that makes sense, even when it's complicated. That kind of trust is hard to find.
Had a sharp pain in my side that wouldn't quit. Went to Lilavati, got Dr. Gunavanthe. He listened, asked clear questions, ordered the right scans. Turned out to be a kidney stone. He laid out the options simply: wait it out or a minor procedure. Chose the procedure. It went fine. He checked in after. No drama, just solid care. Parking was a hassle, but the medical part was direct and effective.
FINALLY! Someone who actually figured out what was wrong with me. I'd been to three other doctors with this lingering fatigue and stomach issue. Dr. Gunavanthe actually looked at all my old reports together, asked a few different questions, and suggested a simple test the others missed. Bingo. It's been a few months on the new meds and I feel like myself again. The wait was long that day, but honestly, it was worth it. He's sharp.
