Patient Experience
My rare Merkel cell carcinoma required collaboration with international experts. Dr. Biswal organized a global tumor board within 48 hours, combining insights from US, European and Asian specialists to create a successful personalized treatment protocol unavailable elsewhere in Eastern India.
Post-renal cancer surgery, Dr. Biswal's rehabilitation program focused not just on recovery but on rebuilding strength. His 'onco-fitness' approach incorporating yoga and nutrition helped me return to my construction business stronger than before my diagnosis.
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.
My father's recurrent UTIs were misdiagnosed for years until Dr. Mohapatra discovered the neurological bladder issue. His creative catheterization protocol and medication adjustment gave Dad his dignity back. We'd seen six urologists before finding the right one. (Patient of Dr. Tapan)
At 78, I was terrified of prostate surgery, but Dr. Mohapatra's calm explanation of the robotic procedure put me at ease. His team at Manipal made me feel like family, and the recovery was smoother than I ever imagined. I'm back to gardening just three weeks later!
Our 8-year-old son developed sudden urinary retention during our vacation in Bhubaneswar. Dr. Mohapatra diagnosed him with posterior urethral valves within hours and performed emergency surgery. His gentle manner with children is remarkable - he even showed our son how the cystoscope worked using toy models first. (Patient of Dr. Tapan)
After years of embarrassing urinary incontinence following my second childbirth, I finally consulted Dr. Mohapatra. His sling procedure was life-changing - no more pads, no more planning outings around bathroom locations. He treated my condition with the seriousness it deserved when others dismissed it. (Patient of Dr. Tapan)
The kidney stone was 14mm and stuck. Dr. Mohapatra performed PCNL with such precision that I left the hospital in 48 hours with just two tiny incisions. His follow-up care included dietary counseling that actually made sense - no confusing medical jargon, just practical advice. (Patient of Dr. Tapan)
My husband's bladder cancer diagnosis devastated us, but Dr. Mohapatra's comprehensive approach gave us hope. He coordinated with oncology, explained every treatment option clearly, and even remembered our anniversary during a difficult chemo week. Five years cancer-free now! (Patient of Dr. Tapan)
