dr. Gouranga Charan Nayak

My mother was admitted with a high fever and confusion. We were all scared. Dr. Nayak came to see her late in the evening, after his rounds. He sat with us in the waiting area and drew a simple diagram on a notepad to explain what he thought was happening with her infection. He didn't rush us. He just talked, clearly and calmly. That moment, when he took the time to make us understand, meant more than any medicine. She's home now, and much better.

My husband had a stubborn stomach issue for months. Other doctors just prescribed pills. Dr. Nayak listened. Actually listened. He asked about his diet, his work stress, everything. His advice was straightforward: try this change, cut back on that, let's see. It wasn't magic, but it worked. Parking at Manipal is always a hassle, but for once, seeing a doctor felt worth the trouble.

I brought my young son in. He was terrified of doctors. Dr. Nayak didn't just talk to me; he crouched down to my boy's level and showed him the stethoscope, let him listen to his own heartbeat. He spoke so softly. He explained every little step before he did it. My son didn't cry once. That kind of gentleness, it's rare. We left feeling cared for, not just treated.

After my father's surgery, we had a million questions. Was the pain normal? When could he eat? Dr. Nayak gave us his direct number for the ward. He answered our calls, even the silly ones, without making us feel like a bother. He was just so... approachable. You don't expect that from a senior doctor. He turned a really anxious week into something we could manage. We're so relieved.
