dr. KINGSHUK CHATTERJEE

I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging pain that just didn't add up. Dr. Chatterjee was different. He actually sat and listened to my whole, messy history, asked questions the others hadn't, and ordered one specific test. Turns out it was something pretty rare. He explained it to me in my living room, with a diagram on a notepad. He didn't just solve the puzzle; he showed me how the pieces fit.

Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was more anxious about the hospital process than the cut itself. Dr. Chatterjee's team at Manipal made it straightforward. The procedure itself was quick, he checked in right after, and the nurse gave me clear instructions for the bandage. It was one of those things you build up in your head, and then it's just... done. No drama, which is exactly what you want.

The place was busy, I won't lie finding a spot in the parking lot took a few minutes. But once inside, the difference was clear. The front desk lady remembered my name when I came back with a question, and the ward assistant brought an extra pillow without me asking. It's those small things at Manipal that make a stressful day feel a bit more manageable. Dr. Chatterjee runs a tight, kind ship.

Look, I'm not great with doctors. I get quiet. Dr. Chatterjee has this calm way about him he doesn't fill the silence with medical jargon. He waited, made a little joke about my nervous tapping, and then just talked *with* me, not at me. He asked about my work and how the treatment would fit into my week. Felt like I was consulting with a really smart, careful person, not just a medical authority.
