Patient Experience
Had my gallbladder out last week. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie. But Dr. Palodhy's team had a clear plan for the pain meds and explained what to expect at each stage. It wasn't just 'take these pills,' they told me how to move, when to walk a bit, what was normal soreness. Made the whole recovery feel less scary. Still sore, but I'm getting there.
My mother was admitted with severe abdominal pain. We were all terrified. Dr. Palodhy was the one who actually sat us down in the family room, drew a simple diagram on a notepad, and explained exactly what was happening and what the surgery would involve. He called my brother himself after the procedure. He didn't just treat my mom; he looked after our whole family's peace of mind during a really hard time.
Went to Dr. Palodhy for a second opinion on a persistent stomach issue. He was straight up. Looked at my old reports, asked a few specific questions, and said "I think it's X, not Y. Let's do this one scan to be sure, then we can fix it." No fluff, no unnecessary tests. Got the scan, he was right. Started treatment that week. Finally feeling better.
I'd been putting off seeing someone about this nagging pain for months. Finally booked an appointment at Manipal Dhakuria, a bit nervous. The waiting area was busy, I had to wait a bit past my slot. But when I got in, Dr. Palodhy just listened. Really listened. He asked about my job, my diet, things no one else had. The diagnosis wasn't dramatic, but his approach was. He laid out two clear treatment paths, explained the pros and cons of each, and let me choose. Felt like I was part of the solution, not just a problem to be solved.
