Patient Experience
Had a persistent cough for three weeks. Went to Medicover. Saw Dr. Satishkumar Kolekar. He asked clear questions, checked my vitals, ordered an X-ray. Explained it was a bronchial infection, not anything worse. Prescribed medication. Cough cleared up in five days. Efficient, clear, solved the problem.
I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor in Pune, and my stomach was in knots. The waiting area was busy, and I almost left. But Dr. Kolekar? He just had this calm way about him. He didn't rush me, let me explain my silly worries, and actually listened. He said, 'Let's just check a few things to be sure,' and it didn't feel scary at all. I walked out feeling like a weight was off my shoulders. He made a scary thing feel normal.
It was my third visit for my blood pressure checks. Dr. Kolekar always remembers my name and asks about my garden. Last time, I mentioned my roses weren't doing well, and this time he asked if they'd perked up. It's a small thing, but it makes you feel seen. He explains my numbers in a way I can understand, without any fuss. I trust his advice completely.
FINALLY! Someone who figured out what was causing my constant fatigue! I'd seen two other doctors who just shrugged. Dr. Kolekar actually went through everything again, asked questions the others didn't, and suggested a different blood test. Bingo – a thyroid issue. Started treatment and I'm getting my energy back. This guy knows his stuff! So relieved to have an answer.
