Dr. Chanchal Kr Bhar

At my age, you get used to doctors rushing you along. Dr. Chanchal Bhar was different. He listened to my old stories about my knee pain without looking at the clock. Explained everything to my son as well, very clearly. The hospital was busy, but in his room, I felt properly looked after.

Our 8-year-old had a high fever that wouldn't break, and we were panicking. Dr. Bhar saw us, was so calm with our son, and got him laughing before the check-up even started. He didn't just throw medicine at us; he told us exactly what to watch for and when to call. We left feeling like we could actually handle it. He called the next day himself to check in. That meant the world.

Had a weird stomach thing for weeks. Saw Dr. Bhar. He figured it out fast, gave me a straight-up plan. No fluff. Fixed it. Good doctor.

I went to Manipal with what I thought was just bad heartburn. The waiting area was packed, I'll be honest. But Dr. Bhar, he took one listen to my symptoms and his demeanor changed. He asked very specific, pointed questions about the pain in my jaw and my left arm things I hadn't even connected. He said, 'We're not taking chances,' and had me in for tests within the hour. Turns out, it was a minor cardiac issue. He was direct without being scary, and that mix of urgency and calm probably made a big difference. I'm on medication now and feeling much better, but I remember how he caught what I'd missed.
