Patient Experience
I was a complete mess before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor here, and my mind was racing with worst-case scenarios. The waiting area was busy, which didn't help. But Dr. Patnaik was so calm. He didn't rush me, actually listened to my jumbled explanation, and explained everything in a way that made sense. He told me what was probably wrong and what definitely wasn't. I walked out feeling like a weight was lifted, just because someone took the time to be clear and kind.
Had a persistent stomach issue for weeks. Booked with Dr. Patnaik at Star Hospital. Appointment was on time. He asked specific questions, ordered the right tests, and gave a clear diagnosis. Treatment plan was straightforward. Fixed the problem. No fuss, good result.
My husband insisted I see someone about my constant tiredness. I'm not one to complain much. Dr. Patnaik was very gentle in his manner. He went through everything step by step, never made me feel silly for being concerned. It turned out to be a simple vitamin deficiency. Getting the prescription filled was easy. I'm feeling much better now, and I'm grateful for his careful approach.
Wow, what a difference! I'd been putting off dealing with this nagging knee pain for ages, expecting a lecture. Dr. Patnaik was fantastic! He had a great energy, cracked a joke that put me at ease, and really showed me on the model what was going on. The physio plan he suggested is already helping. So glad I finally went in – he's exactly the kind of doctor you hope to find!
