Patient Experience
My 82-year-old father was rushed to Manipal with acute kidney injury after a severe UTI. Dr. Suman Lata not only stabilized him within hours but explained his complex condition to our family with incredible patience. She personally checked on him three times daily and adjusted his dialysis protocol perfectly. We've never seen a doctor so dedicated to elderly care.
When my 8-year-old daughter was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome, we were terrified. Dr. Lata made her feel so comfortable - she used cartoon analogies to explain kidney function and even remembered my daughter's favorite stuffed animal's name. Her treatment plan has kept our child in remission for 18 months now with minimal medication.
Came in for what I thought was a routine hypertension follow-up, but Dr. Lata's thorough examination revealed early stage renal artery stenosis. Her proactive approach probably saved me from future kidney damage. She spent 45 minutes explaining lifestyle modifications and didn't rush even with a full waiting room.
Emergency dialysis at 2 AM - my husband's creatinine levels were critical. Dr. Lata arrived within 20 minutes of being called, calm and completely focused. She managed the entire procedure herself and stayed until his vitals stabilized. Her emergency response skills are nothing short of remarkable.
Post-kidney transplant follow-up with Dr. Lata has been life-changing. She remembers every detail of my case from two years ago, anticipates potential rejection issues before they occur, and her medication adjustments have been perfect. She makes me feel like I'm her only patient.
Dr. Lata performed a complex renal biopsy on my mother who has multiple comorbidities. Her hands were steady, her instructions crystal clear, and the procedure was over in what felt like minutes. The biopsy results helped tailor treatment that actually worked when others had failed.
First-time dialysis patient here - Dr. Lata walked me through every step, showed me the equipment, and answered all 20+ of my anxious questions. She didn't just treat my kidneys; she treated my fear. Six months later, I actually look forward to our appointments.
My teenage son with chronic kidney disease was resistant to treatment until Dr. Lata connected with him on his level. She discussed how proper care would affect his basketball performance and created a treatment schedule around his school activities. He actually takes responsibility for his health now.
Came from another hospital where I was misdiagnosed. Dr. Lata reviewed my previous reports, ordered the right tests, and identified IgA nephropathy that others had missed. Her diagnostic accuracy and willingness to challenge previous opinions saved my kidney function.
Witnessed Dr. Lata handle a renal crisis in the ICU - she coordinated with intensivists, nephrology nurses, and family members simultaneously while maintaining perfect clinical decision-making. Her leadership during critical situations is extraordinary.
As a diabetic patient with declining kidney function, Dr. Lata's holistic approach addressing both my diabetes and renal issues has been revolutionary. She collaborated with my endocrinologist to create an integrated treatment plan that actually works.
Follow-up visit after kidney stone treatment - Dr. Lata remembered my dietary preferences from six months ago and gave me personalized nutrition advice that fits my vegetarian lifestyle. Her attention to individual patient circumstances is exceptional.
Brought my father for second opinion after multiple failed treatments. Dr. Lata spent two hours reviewing his entire medical history, identified medication interactions others missed, and created a new regimen. Within weeks, his kidney numbers improved for the first time in years.
Emergency peritoneal dialysis catheter placement - Dr. Lata's technical skill was impressive, but what stood out was how she comforted my terrified wife throughout the procedure. She has this rare combination of surgical excellence and emotional intelligence.
Routine medication adjustment visit turned into a life-saving intervention when Dr. Lata noticed subtle swelling others had missed. She ordered immediate tests that revealed rapid progression of kidney disease. Her observational skills are extraordinary.
