Patient Experience
As a software engineer with chronic migraines, I'd seen 4 neurologists. Dr. Bhuyan was the first to connect my screen time, posture, and caffeine habits to the pain pattern. His 'digital detox' prescription combined with targeted medication actually worked where others failed.
Witnessed my wife's aneurysm surgery, Dr. Bhuyan's hands moved with incredible precision during the 6-hour procedure. What amazed me more was his post-op explanation using 3D models to show exactly how he secured the coil. Technical mastery combined with human touch.
Follow-up for my Parkinson's treatment: Dr. Bhuyan remembered my granddaughter's name and asked about her school play. He adjusts medications not just based on symptoms but how they affect my gardening hobby, medicine that understands life beyond the clinic.
Flying back from Dubai when my husband developed facial paralysis. Dr. Bhuyan conducted a video consultation from the airport, guided us through emergency measures, and had his team waiting at Manipal. His global approach to neurology saved precious treatment time.
Teenage son with sports concussion, Dr. Bhuyan didn't just prescribe rest. Created a graded return-to-play protocol involving cognitive tests, balance assessments, and even coordinated with his coach. Science-based sports neurology at its finest.
Rare autoimmune encephalitis case: Dr. Bhuyan collaborated with rheumatologists across India, presenting my case in national forums. His humility in seeking second opinions while leading treatment showed true dedication to complex cases.
My mother's Alzheimer's diagnosis was devastating, but Dr. Bhuyan framed it as 'managing the journey rather than fighting the disease.' His caregiver support strategies and memory preservation techniques have been as valuable as the medications.
Peripheral neuropathy had me convinced I'd never walk properly again. Dr. Bhuyan's combination of nerve conduction studies and physical therapy referrals brought back sensation in my feet. His holistic approach treated the whole nervous system, not just symptoms.
Emergency thalamic stroke case, Dr. Bhuyan's team performed thrombectomy within the golden hour. His post-procedure explanation using simple drawings made us understand the miracle they'd performed. Technical excellence meets compassionate communication.
For my epilepsy management, Dr. Bhuyan introduced cutting-edge EEG monitoring that detected patterns others missed. His medication tweak based on this data reduced my seizures by 90% without side effects. Precision neurology at its best.
Vertigo that multiple doctors dismissed as 'just dizziness.' Dr. Bhuyan performed the Epley maneuver right in his clinic and solved in 5 minutes what had plagued me for months. Sometimes the simplest solutions require the smartest doctors.
Follow-up after deep brain stimulation surgery: Dr. Bhuyan fine-tuned the settings while I described how coffee tasted different post-surgery. His ability to correlate device programming with subjective experiences shows next-level neurological care.
A 28-year-old tribal farmer from rural Odisha presented with a rare spinal arteriovenous malformation causing progressive leg weakness. Dr. Parida performed a complex microsurgical resection using intraoperative neuromonitoring. The patient, who initially arrived on a stretcher, walked out of the hospital after 3 weeks of rehabilitation, returning to his agricultural work with minimal assistance.
A 65-year-old retired school teacher with multiple comorbidities developed a symptomatic chronic subdural hematoma after a minor fall. Dr. Parida opted for minimally invasive twist-drill drainage under local anesthesia instead of general anesthesia due to cardiac risks. The patient was alert and talking immediately after the procedure and discharged home the next day with complete resolution of symptoms.
A 7-year-old girl from an urban middle-class family was diagnosed with a pediatric brainstem glioma. Dr. Parida collaborated with radiation and medical oncologists to create a combined treatment approach. After awake craniotomy with neurophysiological mapping followed by targeted therapy, the child maintained full neurological function and returned to school within 2 months.
A 42-year-old construction worker fell from scaffolding and suffered a complex skull base fracture with cerebrospinal fluid leak. Dr. Parida performed an endoscopic endonasal repair using a vascularized nasoseptal flap. The patient, who was the sole breadwinner for his family of six, returned to light duty work within 8 weeks with no neurological deficits.
An 81-year-old retired judge with Parkinson's disease developed severe tremors resistant to medication. Dr. Parida performed deep brain stimulation surgery with frameless stereotaxy. The procedure dramatically improved the patient's quality of life, allowing him to write clearly again and enjoy his hobby of painting without assistance.
A 19-year-old college student from an affluent family presented with sudden-onset severe headache from a ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm. Dr. Parida performed emergency clipping via a minimally invasive supraorbital approach. The patient made a complete recovery and returned to her studies within 3 months with no cognitive deficits.
A 55-year-old rickshaw puller with limited financial means developed trigeminal neuralgia that made eating unbearable. Dr. Parida performed a microvascular decompression procedure pro bono. The patient experienced immediate pain relief and was able to resume his livelihood within weeks, supporting his family without pain medication dependency.
Dr. Parhi diagnosed my rare neuromuscular disorder that had been misdiagnosed for years. His expertise in reading my EMG results correctly changed my treatment trajectory completely.
