Patient Experience
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Dash made it so simple. He walked me through exactly what he was going to do, step by step. The whole thing was over in what felt like minutes, and he checked in the next day himself to see how the site was healing. It was just a routine thing for him, but he didn't treat it like it was nothing to me.
The clinic was busy and I had to wait a bit, but the front desk lady was really nice about it and kept me updated. The whole place just felt calm, you know? Clean, quiet music. Even the nurse who took my vitals was chatty in a good way, took my mind off being there. It made the whole visit less of a chore.
What I remember most is how he talked to my mom. She was really worried about her blood pressure numbers, kind of freaking out. Dr. Dash didn't just rattle off instructions. He sat down, looked her in the eye, and talked about small, manageable changes. No scare tactics. He has this calm way about him that just makes you feel like you're in good hands, even when you're anxious.
For months, I just felt off—tired, achy, nothing specific. My old doctor kept saying it was stress. Dr. Patnaik was the third opinion I sought. She actually sat and mapped out all my symptoms on a notepad, asked about stuff no one else had, like a weird rash I'd had years ago. She ordered a very specific blood panel. Turns out it was an autoimmune thing that's manageable, but had been missed. She called me herself with the results and explained it in a way that finally made sense.
I needed a mole removed from my back. Simple thing, but I was nervous about the scar. Dr. Patnaik's clinic was running late that day, so I waited a bit. But when she got to me, she was so calm. The procedure itself was over in minutes. She kept talking to me about my garden to distract me. Honestly, the worst part was the parking garage being full. The spot healed up perfectly, no fuss at all.
The clinic itself is nothing fancy, but it's clean and the light in the waiting area is nice. What stood out was the nurse, I think her name was Sarah. I was there for a flu shot and was feeling pretty anxious. She saw me fidgeting and just started telling me about her dog's latest mischief while she prepped everything. It was such a small, human thing that completely took the edge off. Dr. Patnaik has a team that really gets it.
Look, I don't like doctors. I find them intimidating. Dr. Patnaik has this way of just... listening. She doesn't look at her computer the whole time. When I told her I was scared about my blood pressure numbers, she didn't just hand me a pill. She asked about my job, my sleep, even what I eat for lunch. We made a plan together. She remembers my kids' names. It feels less like a transaction and more like someone's actually on my side.
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this nagging fatigue and joint pain, and they all said it was just stress. Dr. Tripathy was the first one who actually listened. She asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, ordered some specific bloodwork, and figured out it was a rare autoimmune thing. She explained it all with a diagram on a notepad. Honestly, I felt heard for the first time in months.
Had to get a mole removed from my back. Simple thing, but I was pretty nervous about it. Dr. Tripathy's assistant, Mark, was great—cracked a joke about his own bad tattoo to calm me down. The procedure itself was over in maybe ten minutes. Dr. Tripathy talked me through each step, and I barely felt a thing. Follow-up was easy, and the scar is barely there now.
The clinic itself is nice. It's clean, the chairs in the waiting area aren't the usual torture devices, and they have decent magazines. But what really stood out was the front desk lady, Sarah. My insurance info was a mess, and I was flustered. She sorted it all out without making me feel like an idiot, even called the company while I waited. It made a stressful morning much easier.
Look, I don't really like doctors. I get awkward. But Dr. Tripathy has this way of just being normal. She sat down, didn't hover by the door, and actually remembered my kid's name from last time. When I told her I was struggling to quit smoking, she didn't lecture me. Just said, 'Let's talk about what's making it hard right now.' Felt like talking to a really smart, practical friend.
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this constant fatigue and weird stomach pain. They said it was stress. Dr. Idrees was the first one who actually listened to my whole history, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that was messing with everything. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and feel like a different person.
Had to get a mole checked and removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Idrees made it so straightforward. The whole thing took maybe twenty minutes. He talked me through each step, the local anesthetic worked perfectly, and he even gave me clear instructions for the bandage afterwards. It healed up just fine. Sometimes simple things done right make all the difference.
The clinic itself was nice and calm, which helped because I was pretty anxious. The person at the front desk saw I was fidgeting and offered me a water. The nurse who took my vitals was really kind and chatted with me about my dog to distract me. When Dr. Idrees came in, it felt like the whole team was on the same page. It wasn't just a clinical visit; they made me feel looked after.
What really stuck with me was how Dr. Idrees talks to you. He doesn't rush. He sits down, makes eye contact, and you feel like you have his full attention. When I had questions about my dad's medication, he didn't just give me a pamphlet; he drew a simple diagram on his notepad to show how it worked. It's that human touch you don't always get.
My 8-year-old son had a fever that just wouldn't break, and I was really scared. Dr. Nayak was so calm with him, explained everything in a way a kid could understand, and even showed him the stethoscope before using it. He didn't rush us at all, and when he said it was just a bad virus and not something worse, I actually cried with relief in the car. The waiting room was packed and we had to wait a bit, but he gave us his full attention once we got in.
My elderly father was admitted, and as the primary contact, I was a mess. Dr. Nayak called me personally after each visit, even late one evening, to explain the changes in his medication and what to expect. He never talked down to us and answered every one of my sister's anxious questions without getting impatient. It made a stressful situation so much easier to handle, knowing we were truly being kept in the loop.
I went in for what I thought was just persistent heartburn. Dr. Nayak listened to me list off my symptoms, then leaned back and asked about my stress levels at work—which were through the roof. Instead of just writing a script, he walked me through how anxiety can mimic physical issues, drew a simple diagram on his notepad, and we made a plan that included diet changes and finding a therapist. It was the first time a doctor connected the dots for me like that. The clinic itself was nothing special, but he took the time to see the whole picture.
I'd been to a few doctors about this constant fatigue and weird stomach ache. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Agrawala was the first one who actually looked skeptical at that answer. He ordered some specific tests I'd never had before, and it turned out to be a pretty rare thyroid issue that was messing with everything. He explained it in a way that finally made sense, without making me feel dumb for missing it.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was more annoyed about taking time off work than anything else. The whole thing was so straightforward. Dr. Agrawala got it done quickly, the local anesthetic worked perfectly, and he even joked about the weather while he worked. I was in and out in under an hour, and the scar is barely noticeable now.
