Dr. Pratap Kumar Behera

Brought my 7-year-old son for chronic abdominal pain that other doctors dismissed as 'just growing pains.' Dr. Behera actually knelt down to eye level with my child, used cartoon analogies to explain digestion, and discovered a rare pediatric GI condition. His child-friendly approach made all the difference!

Emergency gallbladder rupture at 2 AM, Dr. Behera rushed to Manipal Hospital and performed life-saving surgery with incredible precision. What stood out was his post-op care: he personally checked on me every 2 hours despite the late hour. This man doesn't just treat diseases; he saves lives with dedication.

Routine colonoscopy could have been clinical, but Dr. Behera made it educational. He showed me the screen during the procedure, explained what healthy tissue looks like, and gave dietary advice specific to my Odisha cuisine preferences. Turned a scary procedure into an empowering experience!

Complex pancreatic surgery that three other surgeons had declined. Dr. Behera's team used advanced laparoscopic techniques, I have barely visible scars and recovered in half the expected time. His surgical skill is matched only by his humility; he credited the entire medical team during my follow-up.

My 82-year-old father was suffering from severe gastrointestinal bleeding and multiple comorbidities. Dr. Pratap Kumar Behera not only stabilized him with remarkable speed but explained every procedure in Oriya so we could understand. His compassionate approach with elderly patients is truly exceptional, he treated my father like family.
