Patient Experience
I'd been to a few doctors about this nagging stomach pain and fatigue. Everyone had a different idea. Dr. Rajib Dey was the first one who actually sat and listened, then ordered a specific test no one else had. It turned out to be something pretty rare. He explained it all in a way that didn't make me panic, and we had a clear plan by the end of that visit. Felt like we finally had a direction.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Dey made it seem like the most normal thing. The whole thing was over in what felt like ten minutes. He talked me through each step, the stitches were neat, and the follow-up was just a quick check. Sometimes simple things are done well, and that matters.
The hospital itself is huge and can feel a bit overwhelming. Parking was a nightmare that day. But once I got to Dr. Dey's floor, the difference was clear. The nurses at the desk were really patient with my questions, and the lady who took my vitals had a nice way of distracting me when she saw I was anxious. It felt like a team effort, not just a doctor's visit.
What stuck with me was how Dr. Dey talks to you. He doesn't just look at his screen. He pulls his chair around, makes eye contact, and asks about your work or family. When I told him I was worried about missing too many days at my job, he actually factored that into the treatment timeline. Felt like he saw me as a person, not just a case file.
