Patient Experience
My 82-year-old father was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer and other surgeons had given up hope. Dr. Biswajeet Mohapatra not only performed a successful complex resection but visited him twice daily with such genuine care. His hands are blessed - my father is now cancer-free and tending his garden again.
When our 7-year-old daughter needed surgery for a rare abdominal tumor, we were terrified. Dr. Mohapatra knelt down to her eye level, explained everything using dinosaur analogies, and even let her listen to his stethoscope first. His combination of surgical excellence and child-friendly approach was extraordinary.
Rushed to Manipal Hospital at 2 AM with acute abdominal pain, I was diagnosed with a ruptured appendix that had spread cancer cells. Dr. Mohapatra performed emergency surgery that saved my life. His calm demeanor during crisis and precise surgical intervention made all the difference.
What impressed me most during my routine follow-up was how Dr. Mohapatra remembered minute details from my surgery six months prior. He spent 25 minutes explaining my scans, drew diagrams to show my healing progress, and genuinely celebrated my recovery milestones with me.
My complex pancreatic cancer surgery lasted 9 hours and Dr. Mohapatra's team achieved what seemed impossible - complete resection with clear margins. His post-op care protocol was meticulous, and he personally called my family twice during the surgery with updates.
As a medical student observing surgeries, I specifically requested to watch Dr. Mohapatra operate. His technique is like watching a master artist - every movement purposeful, every decision precise. He even took time to explain the oncological principles behind each step during the procedure.
After being turned away by three oncologists due to my multiple comorbidities, Dr. Mohapatra developed a tailored surgical plan that accounted for my heart condition and diabetes. His holistic approach and willingness to take on challenging cases gave me a second chance at life.
The way Dr. Mohapatra communicates bad news is remarkable. When my biopsy results came back positive, he sat with my entire family, used visual aids to explain the disease progression, and outlined a clear treatment plan that gave us hope instead of despair.
During my mother's breast cancer surgery, Dr. Mohapatra noticed a tiny suspicious lesion that wasn't on any scans. His surgical intuition led him to remove it, and pathology confirmed it was early-stage cancer. His attentiveness potentially prevented a future recurrence.
As an overseas patient, I appreciated how Dr. Mohapatra's team coordinated all my care seamlessly. He conducted virtual consultations pre-surgery, arranged my medical visa, and ensured smooth transitions between departments. World-class care with personalized attention.
What sets Dr. Mohapatra apart is his innovative approach - he used a novel surgical technique for my liver metastasis that reduced my recovery time by weeks. He's not just following protocols but advancing the field while maintaining impeccable safety standards.
After my thyroid cancer surgery, I was worried about scarring. Dr. Mohapatra used hidden incision techniques that are virtually invisible. His attention to both medical outcomes and aesthetic concerns shows he treats the whole person, not just the disease.
During my husband's lengthy recovery, Dr. Mohapatra visited daily even on weekends. One Sunday, he spent an extra hour adjusting pain management protocols until he found the perfect balance. That level of dedication is rare in today's healthcare system.
As a cancer survivor myself, I've seen many oncologists. Dr. Mohapatra's combination of cutting-edge surgical skill and old-fashioned bedside manner is unparalleled. He remembers his patients' names, stories, and even asks about their families during follow-ups.
