Dr. Prasad Kuvalekar

I've been seeing Dr. Kuvlekar for my diabetes and blood pressure for over eight years now. He's my go-to for everything. What I appreciate most is that he remembers me, remembers my history without me having to repeat everything, and he's never in a rush. His advice is always practical, and he explains the 'why' behind any change in medication. When I had a weird reaction to a new pill last year, he was the first person I called, and he sorted it out immediately. That kind of consistency is hard to find.

My 82-year-old father was admitted to Medicover with severe pneumonia. Dr. Prasad Kuvlekar was in charge of his care. Honestly, the most valuable thing for us wasn't just the medical treatment (which worked), but how he talked to us. He called me, his daughter, every single evening after his rounds to give a plain-English updatewhat was better, what they were watching, what to expect next. He never made us feel like we were bothering him with questions. He treated my dad with such respect and patience, explaining things to him slowly. It took a huge weight off our family during a really scary time.

Had a bad stomach thing that wouldn't go away. Saw Dr. Kuvlekar at Medicover. He was straight to the point, ordered the right tests, figured it out. Got me on meds that worked. No fuss, no unnecessary drama. Parking at that hospital is always a pain, though.

I went to Medicover Pune last month with what I thought was just a really bad, lingering flu. Felt awful. Dr. Kuvlekar listened to me list off my symptomsfever, this deep chest cough, total exhaustionand then did his exam. He got quiet for a second and said, 'I don't like how that sounds. Let's get a chest X-ray right now, just to be safe.' I was nervous, but he was so calm. Turns out, it was a pretty serious bronchial infection heading toward pneumonia. He started me on antibiotics there and then, and called me himself two days later to check if I was improving. That extra step, taking it seriously from the first listen, probably saved me a hospital stay. I was back at work in a week.
