Dr. Sukanto Kishore Das

When our 7-year-old daughter was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome, Dr. Das created a teddy bear with drawn-on kidneys to explain her condition. He prescribed the perfect steroid regimen that put her in remission within 3 weeks while monitoring her growth meticulously. We've never seen a doctor connect so well with a child.

Rushed to Manipal ER at 2 AM with pulmonary edema due to renal failure, I was gasping for air. Dr. Das arrived within 20 minutes, ordered emergency dialysis himself, and stayed through the procedure. His calm competence during that crisis literally saved my life - I've never been more grateful for a doctor's dedication.

As a diabetic with routine kidney checkups, I appreciate how Dr. Das remembers my gardening hobby and always asks about my roses before discussing creatinine levels. His preventive approach has kept my kidney function stable for 5 years despite my diabetes progression.

My brother needed a complex kidney transplant evaluation with multiple comorbidities. Dr. Das coordinated with cardiology, endocrinology, and transplant surgery teams, creating color-coded charts that made the entire process understandable. His meticulous preparation made the transplant possible.

My 82-year-old father was admitted with acute kidney injury after a severe UTI. Dr. Das not only stabilized his creatinine levels within 48 hours but personally explained every medication change using simple analogies about car engines and oil filters. His bedside manner made my anxious father actually look forward to his daily visits.
