Patient Experience
My 8-year-old had a high fever that wouldn't break, and I was terrified. Dr. Anup Shyamal at Manipal was so calm with her, explaining everything to her in a way she could understand. He didn't just treat the fever; he figured out the root cause, which was a stubborn ear infection we'd missed. The wait was long that evening, but seeing how he handled my scared kid made it worth it. We left with clear instructions and, more importantly, a child who wasn't afraid of doctors anymore.
I've been seeing Dr. Shyamal for my blood pressure and general health for nearly a decade, since before he was at Manipal. What I value most is that he remembers me, my history, and my lifestyle. He doesn't just read the chart; he asks about my work stress or if I've been able to walk more. His advice is consistent, and he's honest when something needs more attention versus when I'm just worrying too much. That kind of trust, built over years, is what real healthcare is about.
Had a weird stomach thing going on for weeks. Saw Dr. Anup Shyamal. He listened, asked straight questions, ordered the right tests. Got it sorted. No fuss.
So, I woke up with this sharp pain under my ribs. Tried to ignore it, but by afternoon, I was driving myself to Manipal Hospital. The parking was a nightmare, honestly. I got to Dr. Anup Shyamal's clinic, braced for a rushed appointment. But he sat back, let me explain the whole thing how it hurt more when I breathed in, how I'd been stressed at work. He poked around, asked about my diet, and said it was likely a muscular thing aggravated by stress and maybe my posture at my desk. Gave me some stretches, told me to use a heat pack, and said to come back if it didn't ease in a few days. It did ease up. It was just nice to have someone not immediately jump to scary conclusions and actually think about the whole picture.
