Patient Experience
My father was admitted with severe abdominal pain. We were all scared, honestly. Dr. Laha came to see him late in the evening, after his scheduled hours. He sat with us in the waiting area and drew a simple diagram on a notepad to explain what was happening with the pancreas. He didn't rush, even though we had a lot of questions. He called my mother the next day himself to give an update. That meant everything to us. Because of his clear plan, my father is home and recovering well.
Took my wife to see Dr. Somnath Laha for persistent fatigue. The clinic was busy, we did wait a bit. But when he entered the room, he was completely focused. He asked direct questions, reviewed the file himself, and laid out two possible paths for tests. No sugar-coating, but also no unnecessary alarm. We left with a clear direction, which was a huge relief after weeks of worry. The treatment he started is working. We feel heard.
Our son, just 8, had a high fever that wouldn't break. In the ER at Manipal, Dr. Laha was so calm. He spoke to our boy first, asking about his favorite cartoon, before even examining him. He explained the infection to us in such a soft, steady voice that our panic just... settled. He made sure we understood each medicine and what to watch for at home. It's the gentle way he handles both the patient and the frightened parents that we'll remember.
After three different opinions about my sister's chronic condition, we met Dr. Laha. Wow. He looked at all her previous reports, asked about details others missed, and actually connected the dots. You could see the pieces clicking for him. He was so enthusiastic about finding a solution, it gave us real hope for the first time. The new treatment plan is specific and makes sense. We finally feel like we're getting somewhere! The relief is incredible.
