Patient Experience
I'd been to three other doctors with this weird, lingering fatigue and stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Prabhas Tripathy was the first one who actually sat and listened to my whole history, even the bits I thought were irrelevant. He ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a tricky thyroid issue combined with a mild infection. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad no fancy jargon. Finally felt like someone had connected the dots.
Needed a minor cyst removal. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital process than the surgery itself. Dr. Tripathy's team at Manipal made it so straightforward. The procedure itself was quick, he checked in right after, and the nurse gave my wife very clear instructions for the bandage. It healed up perfectly. Sometimes simple things done right mean the most.
Parking at the hospital was a nightmare that day, I was flustered by the time I got in. But the front desk lady was really patient, and the nurse who took my vitals had this calm way about her that just settled me down. The whole place in the outpatient section felt clean and quiet, not chaotic. When Dr. Tripathy came in, he’d already reviewed my file and didn't make me repeat my whole story. The whole team just worked well together.
What I remember most is how he talked to my elderly mother. She was scared and hard of hearing. Dr. Tripathy didn't raise his voice; he just pulled his chair closer, spoke slowly, and made sure she understood each step before moving on. He treated her with a kind of respect you don't always see. That meant more to our family than any medicine.
