Patient Experience
I'd been to a few doctors about this nagging fatigue and stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Rahiul Islam actually listened. He asked questions no one else did, ordered some specific tests, and figured out it was a tricky thyroid issue that was messing with everything. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. It wasn't a quick fix, but having the right answer changed everything.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Islam made it feel like no big deal. The whole thing was over in what felt like minutes. He talked me through each step, the local anesthetic worked perfectly, and I was back home the same afternoon. The follow-up was quick and easy, just a glance at the stitches. Sometimes simple things are done well, and that matters.
The parking at Manipal Dhakuria is always a bit of a hunt, I'll be honest. But once inside, the place just runs smoothly. The front desk people knew exactly where to send me, and the nurse who took my vitals was really kind she could tell I was anxious and just chatted about normal stuff to distract me. It made waiting for Dr. Islam a lot less stressful. A good team makes a real difference.
What stuck with me about Dr. Islam was how he talked to my elderly mother. He didn't just talk to me about her high blood pressure. He sat down, looked her in the eye, and explained things slowly and clearly, asking if she understood. He treated her with such respect, not like just another patient. You can't teach that kind of kindness; you either have it or you don't.
