Patient Experience
My stomach issues had been brushed off as stress by a couple of other doctors. Dr. Anturlikar actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered a specific test no one else had. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder problem, not just 'nerves.' He explained it all with a diagram on his notepadmade it simple. I finally got the right surgery and feel like myself again.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous about the whole thing, but Dr. Anturlikar 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 recovery was exactly as he said it would be. It was just a smooth, straightforward experience from start to finish.
Parking at Ashoka Medicover was a bit of a hassle that morning, I won't lie. But once inside, it made a difference. The front desk lady saw I was flustered and helped me sort my papers quickly. The nurse who took my vitals was really kind and cracked a joke that calmed me down. Even the cleaner in the hallway gave a friendly nod. It felt like a place where people actually cared.
What stuck with me about Dr. Anturlikar was how he talked to my elderly father. He didn't just talk to me. He sat down, looked my dad in the eye, and explained his new medication in a way he could understand, without being patronizing. He asked about his daily routine to make sure the advice was practical. That kind of patience and respect is rare.
