dr. ASISH KUMAR MANDAL

I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Mandal actually sat and listened to every little thing, asked about stuff no one else did, and ordered a specific test the others hadn't. Turns out it was a tricky parasite. He explained the whole thing with a diagram on his notepad sounded serious, but he made it clear what we needed to do. I'm finally feeling like myself again.

Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was pretty nervous about the whole thing. The day of, the parking lot at Manipal was packed, so I was a bit flustered getting in. But Dr. Mandal's team was so calm. The procedure itself was over before I knew it. He checked in the next day himself, just a quick call to see how the healing was going. It was such a simple thing, but it meant a lot.

My mom needed her regular check-up, and I was dreading the hospital run usually so chaotic. Manipal was different. The place actually felt calm, and the front desk people knew exactly where we needed to go. Dr. Mandal's nurse was really kind, helped my mom get comfortable, and even brought her some water without us asking. It made a stressful day much easier to handle.

What I remember most is how Dr. Mandal talks to you. He doesn't just look at the file; he looks at you. When my blood pressure was high, he didn't just hand me a pill. He asked about my job, my sleep, even what I eat for lunch. He felt more like a partner figuring this out with me than a distant expert. That kind of attention is rare.
