Dr. Ajanta Samanta

I've been seeing Dr. Ajanta Samanta for my high blood pressure for over eight years now, back when she was at a different clinic. When she moved to Manipal, I followed her there. That's how much I trust her. She remembers the small details like how a certain medication made me dizzy years ago and she never rushes me. The new hospital is bigger, so sometimes you wait a bit longer, but having a doctor who knows your whole history is worth it. She's just steady and reliable.

Had my gallbladder out last month. The surgery itself went fine, but the first couple days after were rough. What really made a difference was how Dr. Samanta handled the pain part. She didn't just hand me a prescription and leave; she explained what to expect and checked in with the nurses often to adjust things. It wasn't magic, I was still sore, but it felt managed. She was clear about what movements to avoid and when to start walking more. Follow-up was straightforward, and I'm finally feeling like myself again.

Went to Dr. Samanta for a bad sinus infection that wouldn't quit. Got an appointment easily, she listened, gave me a prescription that actually worked. Parking at Manipal was a nightmare, though. Doctor was good, no complaints.

I was really nervous going in. I'd had this lingering cough and fatigue for weeks, and my usual remedies did nothing. My wife finally made me book with Dr. Samanta. The clinic was busy, but when she came in, she just sat down and said, 'So, tell me everything from the start.' She let me ramble, asked about my work stress, my sleep, everything. Ordered a couple tests to rule things out. Turned out to be a stubborn bronchial thing. The best part was her manner calm, focused. She called me herself with the test results instead of having a nurse do it. Felt like she actually cared about figuring it out, not just moving on to the next patient.
