Dr. Pratik Savaj —
In His Own Words
Watch Dr. Savaj explain his approach to infectious disease diagnosis — why culture comes before antibiotics, how he evaluates fever that won’t resolve, and what patients should expect at IID Hospital.
01
Culture before every antibiotic
A blood culture is sent before every antibiotic is started or changed — not after three failed courses.
02
TB and HIV excluded at the first visit
Not assumed to be viral fever. GeneXpert and 4th-generation HIV tests ordered on day one.
03
A diagnosis before discharge
Every patient leaves knowing what they have — not an empirical prescription and “come back if it gets worse.”

Why IID Hospital
What Makes a Subspecialist Different
A general physician treats infections broadly. An FNB-certified ID subspecialist treats them with depth that changes outcomes — especially for HIV, TB, resistant organisms, and unresolved fever.
FNB Qualified
Only FNB-certified ID specialist in South Gujarat — not a general physician.
No Referral Needed
Walk in directly. No GP letter required. Same-day appointments available.
Culture First
Blood culture sent before every antibiotic change. A diagnosis before treatment.
Full Confidentiality
HIV, STI, and all sensitive consultations. HIV Act 2017 compliant throughout.
Same-Day Results
NS1, malaria smear, dengue, typhoid — most critical diagnostics available same day.
Patient Education
Every patient leaves knowing their diagnosis, treatment, and what to watch for.

Rapid Weight Loss
Unexplained weight loss of 5%+ in under a month.
Persistent Cough

Any potential HIV exposure — PEP must start within 72 hours.

FAQ
Common Questions
Answered by Dr. Pratik Savaj, FNB Infectious Diseases — IID Hospital, Vesu & SCID-AI, Nanpura, Surat.
Do I need a referral to see Dr. Savaj?
No. IID Hospital operates as a direct-access specialist clinic. Walk in during clinic hours (Mon–Sat: 11 AM–1 PM and 4–6 PM) or call/WhatsApp +91 92747 93759 to confirm availability. No GP letter required.
Is my HIV or STI consultation confidential?
Completely. IID Hospital complies with the HIV and AIDS (Prevention and Control) Act, 2017. Your HIV status or any diagnosis is never shared without your explicit written consent — not with family members, employers, or any third party.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Bring all previous blood test reports (even normal ones), prior prescriptions, imaging (X-ray, ultrasound, CT), and a list of current medications. For fever: note the exact start date, temperature pattern, and associated symptoms such as rash, joint pain, or cough.
Is Dr. Savaj the only infectious disease specialist in the area?
Dr. Pratik Savaj holds an FNB in Infectious Diseases — a dedicated 2-year post-MD subspecialty fellowship completed at P.D. Hinduja Hospital, Mumbai. He is one of very few such specialists in all of Gujarat.
What if my fever has lasted more than 7 days?
Fever beyond 7 days without a confirmed diagnosis is not viral fever — it is an undiagnosed condition. At IID Hospital, blood culture is collected before any antibiotic is started or changed. TB and HIV are excluded at the first visit. A systematic workup produces a diagnosis.
Can I get PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) at IID Hospital?
Yes. PEP must be started within 72 hours of HIV exposure. Call +91 92747 93759 immediately if you have had a needlestick, sexual contact with a known HIV-positive person, or any high-risk exposure. Do not delay — every hour matters.
