Patient Experience
My follow-up appointments with Dr. Parida feel like partnerships. She reviews my pulmonary function trends, adjusts treatment based on my lifestyle, and always asks about my goals, not just my symptoms. This is how chronic care should be.
My 78-year-old father was struggling with severe COPD and multiple infections when we met Dr. Priyadarsini Parida. She didn't just treat his lungs, she treated him as a whole person, coordinating with cardiology and adjusting medications until he could breathe comfortably again. Her compassionate approach gave our family hope during a difficult time.
When my 5-year-old developed persistent wheezing after a viral infection, Dr. Parida was incredible. She knelt down to his level, used puppet demonstrations to explain the breathing exercises, and made him feel so comfortable. Her pediatric pulmonary expertise is matched only by her warmth with children.
Rushed to Manipal's ER with acute respiratory distress, I was terrified until Dr. Parida took charge. She performed emergency bronchoscopy within hours, identified a rare fungal infection, and started targeted treatment immediately. Her calm precision during crisis literally saved my life.
As an asthma patient for 20 years, I've never had a doctor like Dr. Parida. During my routine checkup, she spent 45 minutes reviewing my inhaler technique, environmental triggers, and even my sleep patterns. She doesn't just prescribe, she educates and empowers.
My mother's complex lung biopsy was handled flawlessly by Dr. Parida. She explained every step to our family, called us immediately after surgery, and followed up personally for weeks. Her surgical skill is only surpassed by her dedication to patient communication.
After being misdiagnosed elsewhere for months with 'chronic bronchitis,' Dr. Parida identified my rare interstitial lung disease through advanced testing. Her thorough investigation and personalized treatment plan have given me back my quality of life.
Dr. Parida managed my COVID-19 pneumonia with such expertise. She blended traditional pulmonary care with cutting-edge protocols, monitored me remotely daily, and was available at all hours. Her commitment during the pandemic was extraordinary.
My teenage daughter's sports-induced breathing issues were dismissed by others as 'anxiety.' Dr. Parida diagnosed exercise-induced bronchoconstriction through sophisticated testing and created a management plan that let her return to competitive swimming. She listens when others don't.
Following my lung cancer surgery, Dr. Parida's postoperative care has been exceptional. She coordinates seamlessly with oncology, anticipates complications before they arise, and has become my most trusted medical advocate through recovery.
Dr. Parida detected my early-stage pulmonary fibrosis during what I thought was a routine asthma follow-up. Her sharp clinical eye and insistence on additional testing caught it early enough to make meaningful interventions possible.
When my husband developed mysterious pleural effusion, Dr. Parida systematically ruled out possibilities while keeping us informed at every step. Her diagnostic rigor combined with genuine empathy made a scary process manageable.
As a smoker trying to quit, I appreciated how Dr. Parida addressed my lung health without judgment. She provided practical cessation strategies while treating my COPD, showing equal concern for my physical and psychological wellbeing.
