Patient Experience
My 82-year-old father was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer and we were terrified. Dr. Vikas Choudhary's compassionate approach to his palliative radiation treatment gave us hope. He personally explained every step in simple terms and even adjusted the schedule to accommodate my father's fatigue. The tumor shrank significantly and dad's breathing improved within weeks.
When our 7-year-old daughter needed radiation for a rare brain tumor, we were terrified. Dr. Choudhary was amazing - he used stuffed animals to explain the process and let her pick music to play during sessions. His team created a calm environment that made our little warrior actually look forward to treatments. We're forever grateful.
Rushed to Manipal Hospital with a spinal cord compression emergency at midnight, I expected the worst. Dr. Choudhary came in immediately, coordinated with neurosurgery, and started emergency radiation within hours. His decisive action prevented permanent paralysis. He checked on me personally three times daily during my entire stay.
As a breast cancer survivor coming for routine follow-up, I appreciate how Dr. Choudhary remembers personal details from two years ago. He noticed my anxiety about recurrence and spent extra time reviewing my clean scans, explaining what each image meant in layman's terms. His thoroughness gives me peace of mind.
My husband's complex head and neck cancer required precise radiation mapping. Dr. Choudhary spent hours with the physics team to create custom shields that protected healthy tissue while targeting the tumor. His technical expertise combined with his bedside manner made this difficult process bearable.
Coming from a smaller city for second opinion, Dr. Choudhary reviewed all my previous reports thoroughly. He didn't just agree with prior treatment - he suggested a modified radiation approach that reduced side effects. His humility in consulting with colleagues showed his commitment to best outcomes.
After my prostate radiation, I developed unexpected side effects. Dr. Choudhary didn't dismiss my concerns but immediately adjusted medications and followed up daily until symptoms improved. His responsiveness turned a scary situation into a manageable one.

When conventional radiation wasn't suitable for my rare abdominal tumor, Dr. Choudhary researched emerging techniques and proposed a novel approach using respiratory gating. His willingness to explore advanced options gave me hope when other doctors had limited suggestions.
During my wife's final days, Dr. Choudhary visited our home to adjust her palliative care himself. He didn't have to do this - but his compassion extended beyond hospital walls. He helped us find dignity and comfort in her last journey.
As a radiation technologist myself, I'm particular about treatment quality. Dr. Choudhary's precision in tumor localization and dose calculation impressed me professionally. His attention to physics details while maintaining human connection is rare in our field.
My teenage son was angry and resistant about his osteosarcoma treatment until Dr. Choudhary connected with him about cricket. That personal connection made him cooperative during radiation sessions. He treated my son like a person, not just a patient.
