Patient Experience
I was so nervous going in for my first check-up in years. Dr. Samanta was really calm and explained everything without making me feel silly for asking questions. He didn't rush me at all, and by the end, I felt a lot better about my health. The whole thing was much easier than I'd worked myself up for.
Had a persistent stomach issue that was affecting my work. Saw Dr. Rahul Samanta at Manipal. Appointment was on time, diagnosis was clear, and the treatment plan worked. Efficient and effective. Exactly what I needed.
Look, I don't like going to the doctor. But I had this cough that wouldn't quit. Went to see Dr. Samanta. He was straight with me, told me what it was and what to do. Got the meds, followed the advice, and I'm fine now. No fuss, got the job done.
I'd been feeling run-down for weeks. My wife finally made the appointment. The waiting area at Manipal was busy, but once I got in, Dr. Samanta really listened. He asked about my sleep, my diet, work stress things I hadn't even connected. He ordered a couple of basic tests right there, which came back quickly. Turned out to be a simple vitamin deficiency. He explained the results with a diagram on his notepad. I left with a clear plan, not just a prescription, and I've been feeling like myself again for the past month.
