Patient Experience
At my age, hospital visits can be quite daunting. I was referred to Dr. Aritra Sarkar at Manipal for a persistent stomach issue. From the moment I entered his room, he put me at ease. He didn't rush; he listened to my old stories about my health, asked about my comfort, and explained everything in a way I could understand. The treatment was gentle and effective. It felt like being cared for by a very kind grandson. The hospital itself is large, but his manner made it feel much smaller and more personal.
Had a severe abdominal pain. Went to Manipal's emergency. Saw Dr. Aritra Sarkar. He was clear and direct. Asked the right questions, ordered a scan quickly. Diagnosed it as a gallstone issue. Explained the options: medication or surgery. Chose medication for now. He outlined the plan, what to watch for. Pain is managed. Follow-up was straightforward. Got the help I needed without unnecessary fuss.
I was so nervous before my appointment. I'd been feeling unwell for weeks and was afraid of what the doctor might say. Dr. Sarkar has such a calm, soft way of speaking. He listened quietly to all my worries, never made me feel silly for any of them. His diagnosis was simple, and his treatment plan is helping. He even remembered a small detail I mentioned about my medication times during the follow-up call. That meant a lot. It's rare to find someone who pays such close attention.
Honestly, I was a wreck. This weird pain came out of nowhere and I was convinced it was something serious. Got an appointment with Dr. Aritra Sarkar. He was so reassuring! After checking me over, he just smiled and said, 'This is very common, and we can fix it.' The relief was instant. The medication worked like a charm. The whole experience at Manipal, from his clinic to the pharmacy, was smooth. I'm back to my old self and so, so glad I went to see him.
