Patient Experience
My wife insisted I see a specialist after the local doctor's findings. I was quite apprehensive, I must admit. Dr. Adhikari has a very calming presence. He explained my condition and the proposed treatment plan in such a clear way, without rushing. He even drew a small diagram for me on his notepad. The hospital is large and can feel a bit overwhelming, but his clinic felt like a quiet corner. I am in my third cycle now, and while the journey is difficult, I feel I am in steady hands.
Diagnosed with stage III colon cancer. Needed an oncologist who was clear and direct. Dr. Narayan Adhikari was exactly that. He laid out the facts, the chemotherapy regimen, the possible side effects, and the schedule. No sugar-coating, but also no unnecessary alarm. His team is efficient. You might wait a bit, but once you're in, he's focused. Treatment is tough, but I know what to expect. He answers my questions straight. That's what I needed.
I was so scared when I first went to see Dr. Adhikari. I could barely speak. But he was so kind. He listened to all my fears, even the silly ones about losing my hair. He never made me feel like I was taking too much of his time. When he speaks, his voice is very soft, but you can hear the certainty in it. The nurses in his department are wonderful too. It's a hard road, but I feel seen, and that means more than I can say.
What a difference! After two opinions that left me feeling hopeless, meeting Dr. Adhikari was like finding solid ground. He looked at my scans, asked a ton of questions, and said, "Okay, we have options." FINALLY. He's got this energy that makes you believe you can do this. The parking garage was full that day and I was late, but his assistant just got me rescheduled smoothly. I'm halfway through treatment and my latest scans are good. I'm feeling positive again!
