Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Ray for my diabetes and blood pressure for almost eight years now. He's the only doctor I trust because he remembers everything what worked last time, what didn't, even little things I've mentioned about my lifestyle. I never feel rushed, and he explains why he's changing a dose. It's that consistency that keeps me coming back to Manipal, even though it's a bit of a drive for me.
My 82-year-old father was admitted with a bad infection, and we were all scared. Dr. Ray was the one who actually sat us down in the family room and drew a simple diagram on a notepad to show what was happening. He called my sister directly with updates when I couldn't be there. He treated my dad with real kindness, but just as important, he treated our family with patience. We felt included, not just informed.
Had a weird stomach thing that wouldn't go away. Saw Dr. Dipak Ray. He listened, didn't jump to crazy tests right away, gave me a clear plan. Fixed it in a couple weeks. Straightforward guy, which I appreciate. Parking at the hospital is always a hassle though.
I went in for what I thought was just lingering fatigue after a flu. Dr. Ray, during the check-up, noticed something off about how I described a minor dizziness. He asked a few more questions, then gently suggested we check my iron levels, thinking it might be unrelated. I was skeptical, but he was right it was a significant deficiency I had no idea about. The way he picked up on that tiny detail in a routine visit changed everything. He followed up himself to see how the supplements were working. It wasn't just about treating a number; he connected the dots I didn't even see.
