Patient Experience
My 8-year-old son had a fever that just wouldn't break, and I was a mess. Dr. Arunima Datta was so calm with him, explaining everything in a way he could understand. She didn't just treat the fever; she listened to all my worried-mom questions and never made me feel silly. The wait was a bit long, but honestly, seeing how she handled my scared kid made it worth it. We left feeling actually cared for, not just processed.
My father was admitted with severe stomach pain, and we were all terrified. Dr. Datta was the one who actually took the time to find us in the waiting area, drew a simple diagram on a notepad to show what might be happening, and gave us her direct line for updates. She spoke to us, not at us. In a situation where everyone feels helpless, having a doctor who keeps the family in the loop makes all the difference.
Went to see Dr. Datta for a persistent cough. Parking at Manipal was a nightmare, but the appointment itself was fine. She's direct, asked good questions, didn't rush. Got a clear treatment plan. Fixed me up in a week.
I'd been feeling run-down for months just tired all the time, no energy. My usual doctor kept saying it was stress. I booked with Dr. Arunima Datta on a friend's suggestion, pretty skeptical. The first thing she did was look over my old blood reports and point out a pattern I'd missed. She ordered a couple of specific tests others hadn't. Turns out it was a simple vitamin deficiency. It wasn't some dramatic diagnosis, but she was the first one to actually connect the dots. The relief of having an answer, and a fix, after so long feeling like I was imagining it... that was everything.
