Patient Experience
My mother, who is 78, had been feeling very weak and losing weight. We were all worried. The appointment with Dr. Bhattacharya was a relief from the start. She didn't just talk to us; she listened. She explained everything about the tests in simple Bengali, which put my mother at ease. She took the time to answer all our family's questions, even the silly ones from my brother. The treatment plan was clear, and my mother is slowly getting her strength back. It felt like we had a doctor who was truly on our side.
My husband had a persistent stomach issue that other doctors couldn't pin down. We went to Dr. Bhattacharya feeling pretty frustrated. She was direct and asked very specific questions. No fluff. She reviewed his old reports carefully and ordered just a couple more tests, which made sense. When she called with the diagnosis, she laid out the options clearly what each medicine would do, what to expect. It was practical and honest. He's been much better for months now. We finally got a straight answer.
I brought my young daughter in; she had a high fever that wouldn't break. I was so scared. Dr. Maitreyee has such a calm way about her. Her voice was soft, and she spoke gently to my daughter first, getting a smile out of her before the examination. She explained every step to me in a way that didn't make me feel panicked. She said, 'We'll take good care of her,' and I believed her. The waiting area was busy, but in her room, everything felt focused and careful. My daughter is back to her playful self now.
After my dad's check-up, we got some concerning bloodwork back. I was braced for a rushed, scary conversation. Dr. Bhattacharya was fantastic. She was practically enthusiastic about how manageable the condition was with early detection. 'This is good we caught it now!' she said. Her relief was contagious. She mapped out a diet plan and follow-up schedule with such positive energy that my dad left motivated, not depressed. The parking at Manipal was a hassle that day, but honestly, after that consultation, we didn't even care.
