Patient Experience
It was a difficult time for our family when my mother fell ill. Dr. Bhalgat was very kind. He spoke softly, took time to explain her condition to us without using scary medical terms, and was always patient with our many phone calls. His care was a great comfort during a worrying period. We are very grateful.
Wow, what a difference! I'd been feeling run-down for months and my old doctor just kept saying it was stress. Dr. Bhalgat actually dug into it. He figured it out! Started the new treatment last week and I already have more energy. Honestly, I'm just so relieved to finally have an answer and be feeling better. He's really good at what he does.
I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging abdominal pain and fatigue, and everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Vyas was different. He actually sat there with my file for a good ten minutes, asking me questions I hadn't been asked before. He ordered a specific set of tests others hadn't thought of. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up on standard scans. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad. I felt heard for the first time.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but the whole thing was so straightforward. Dr. Vyas walked me through exactly what he'd do, the nurse was really calming, and the procedure itself was quicker than I expected. The follow-up was simple, and the scar is barely noticeable now. It was just a very smooth, no-fuss experience from start to finish.
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. Vyas's front desk saw it on my face, offered me some water, and got me checked in quickly. The whole place just felt calm and clean. Even the person who took my blood samples was really gentle. It made a stressful day much easier to handle.
What I remember most is how he talked to my elderly mother. She was scared about her surgery. Dr. Vyas didn't just talk to me; he crouched down by her chair, looked her in the eye, and explained everything in simple Marathi. He didn't rush her questions, even the silly ones. He has this quiet, patient way about him that just puts you at ease. That meant more to our family than any medical jargon ever could.
My dad was admitted with a bad infection and we were all scared. Dr. Ballani was the one who actually sat us down in the family room and drew a diagram on a napkin to explain what was happening. He called my sister every evening with an update, even when there wasn't much change. He just got that we needed to hear his voice to feel okay.
I went in for what I thought was just really bad heartburn. Dr. Ballani listened, then asked a bunch of questions about things I wouldn't have connectedlike if my shoes felt tighter. He had a hunch and ran a specific blood test. Turns out it was a problem with my kidneys, not my stomach at all. The way he connected those dots probably saved me from a much bigger issue down the line. I was just there for antacids, and he found the real problem.
I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Sanzgiri was the first one who actually looked skeptical at that answer. He ordered some specific tests I'd never had before, sat me down, and explained how the results pointed to a chronic condition I'd never even heard of. It wasn't great news, but finally having a real answerand a clear plan from himwas a massive relief after months of guessing.
Had to get a cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Sanzgiri made it sound so straightforward. The whole thing was over in what felt like twenty minutes. He talked me through each step as he did it, which really kept my mind off things. The stitches were neat, healing was a breeze, and I was back to my normal routine faster than I expected. It was just a simple, smooth experience.
The place was busyparking was full and the waiting area had a crowd. But from the front desk to the nurses, everyone was calm and helpful. One nurse saw I was looking lost and pointed me to the right wing. The whole environment at Lilavati felt efficient but not cold. Even with the wait, things moved along, and it felt like a team was working together. It made a stressful day much easier to handle.
What stuck with me was how Dr. Sanzgiri talks to you. He doesn't rush. When I explained my worries, he put his pen down and just listened. He asks questions about your life, not just your symptoms. You never feel like just another case file. He's got this calm, direct way of explaining things that makes you feel included in your own care, not just instructed.
I'd been feeling run down for months, and three other doctors just told me it was stress. Dr. Bhagwat was the first one who actually listened to my whole history. He ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a tricky thyroid issue. He sat with me for a good twenty minutes explaining the results and the treatment plan in plain English. It wasn't stress after all.
Had to get a cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Bhagwat made it feel like no big deal. The procedure itself was over in what felt like ten minutes. He talked me through each step, and the local anesthetic worked perfectly. The follow-up was quick, and the scar is healing really cleanly. Just a straightforward, smooth experience.
The parking at Lilavati is always a bit of a hunt, I'll admit. But once inside, the whole process was easy. The front desk ladies found my file fast, and the nurse who took my vitals was really kindshe could see I was anxious and just chatted about the weather to distract me. The whole place felt calm and efficient, which helped a lot before seeing the doctor.
What I remember most is how Dr. Bhagwat talked to my elderly mother. She gets confused easily. He didn't rush her, he knelt down so he was at eye level with her wheelchair, and repeated things patiently. He asked about her garden to put her at ease. It wasn't just about the medicine; it was about seeing her as a person, and that meant the world to our family.
Had a persistent stomach issue for months. Saw Dr. Dargad at Lilavati. He cut through the noise, ordered the right tests quickly, and gave me a clear treatment plan. Back to work without the constant worry. Efficient and effective.
My gallbladder surgery was last Tuesday. The first two days were rough, I won't lie. But Dr. Rao's team had a clear plan for the pain. They didn't just throw pills at me; they explained when to take what and what to expect each day. By day four, I was moving around my apartment. It's a slow climb, but I feel like I'm actually getting better, not just waiting for the next dose.
Had a hernia repair with Dr. Rao. Procedure went well. Staff was efficient. Follow-up instructions were clear. Recovery is on track. Would recommend.
Fixed my hernia. Doc was clear, surgery went smooth, recovery's on track. No fuss.
