Had to get a cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Mohanty made it seem like no big deal. The whole thing at MGM was over in an hour. The local anesthetic stung for a second, but that was it. He chatted with me the whole time, which really took my mind off it. I was back at my desk job the next day with just a small bandage to show for it.
The parking at MGM was a nightmare that day, completely full. I was flustered by the time I got to the clinic. But the lady at the front desk was so calm and found my file right away. The nurse who took my vitals noticed I seemed anxious and actually got me a glass of water. The place itself felt clean and quiet, which helped me settle down before I even saw the doctor.
What I remember most is how Dr. Mohanty talked to my elderly mother. She was confused and scared. He didn't just talk to me about her; he pulled his chair right up to her, held her hand, and spoke slowly and clearly. He checked if she understood after every point. It wasn't just medicine; it was kindness. That meant more to our family than I can say.
I'd been to a couple of doctors with this weird fatigue and stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Deepthi actually sat me down and went through my whole history again. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a tricky thyroid issue that was messing with everything. She explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on the right meds now and feel like myself again.
I'd been to three doctors with this weird fatigue and pain, everyone said it was stress. Dr. Mohanty was the first one who actually stopped and listened. He ordered a specific blood test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something pretty rare. He explained it to me and my wife in plain English, no fancy jargon. I'm on the right treatment now, and I finally feel like myself again.
