Patient Experience
My mother was admitted with severe stomach pain. We were all very scared. Dr. Ghodake came in, explained everything to us in Marathi, which put her at ease. He didn't just talk to me; he looked at my mother and spoke directly to her, which I really appreciated. He told us exactly what the plan was, what tests were needed, and why. The treatment worked. More than the medicine, it was his calm way of talking that helped my mother recover faster.
Took my son in. He had a high fever that wouldn't break. The hospital was busy, but Dr. Ghodake saw us quickly. He listened, checked my boy thoroughly, and said it was likely a viral thing but wanted to rule out other issues. Straight talk, no sugar-coating. He said, 'Let's do these tests, then we'll know.' Got the results, he was right. Gave clear instructions for home care. My son is fine now. Simple, effective care.
My husband needed a procedure, and I was a nervous wreck. Dr. Ghodake sat with us both before anything started. He had a very quiet, gentle way of explaining each step, drawing a little diagram on his notepad. He made sure we both understood and asked if we had questionstwice. He said, 'It's normal to be worried.' That meant a lot. Everything went smoothly, just as he said it would. His kindness to my husband, and to me, made a difficult time much easier.
Wow, what a difference! My dad's been to a few doctors for his chronic issue, always coming home confused. Dr. Ghodake? Totally different. He actually took time. He broke down the problem in a way we could finally get it. You could see he really knew his stuff. He had a plan, and it worked! Dad's feeling better than he has in months. We're so relieved to have found a doctor who both listens and gets results. The whole family is grateful.
