Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors with this weird fatigue and stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Debanjali Dutta actually sat and listened, really listened, to everything I was saying. She asked questions no one else had, ordered some specific tests, and figured out it was a tricky thyroid issue combined with a mild food intolerance. It wasn't just one thing, and she pieced it together. I finally feel like I'm getting back to normal.
Had to get a small cyst removed, which honestly made me pretty nervous. The procedure itself at Manipal was straightforward, but what stuck with me was Dr. Dutta. She explained each step in simple terms before she did it, which calmed me right down. It was over before I knew it, and the follow-up was just as easy. No drama, just good, clear care.
Parking at the hospital was a nightmare that day, I was running late and flustered. But from the front desk to the nurses in Dr. Dutta's clinic, everyone was so calm and kind. The place felt clean and orderly, which helped my anxiety. Even when I apologized for being late, the nurse just smiled and said not to worry. It made the whole visit less stressful.
Look, I'm not great with doctors I get awkward. But Dr. Dutta has this way of talking *with* you, not at you. She remembers small things from previous visits, asks about my family. When I was worried about some test results, she didn't just recite numbers; she drew a little diagram on her notepad to show me what was happening. It felt like she actually saw me as a person, not just another patient file.
