dr. SHUMAYOU DUTTA

Had my gallbladder out last month. The surgery itself went fine, but the first few days after were rough. Dr. Dutta was really clear about what pain to expect and which meds to take when. He didn't just throw pills at me; he explained how to step down the dosage as I got better. I still had to take it easy for a while, but knowing what was normal made the whole recovery less scary. The nurses at Manipal were great too.

I've been seeing Dr. Dutta for my hypertension for about five years now. What I appreciate is that he remembers me, remembers my numbers, and doesn't jump to change my medication unless there's a good reason. He's consistent. I trust his judgment because he explains the 'why' behind every little adjustment. In a city where doctors change hospitals every other year, having someone steady you can rely on is important.

Went to Dr. Dutta with a weird stomach thing that wouldn't go away. Parking at the hospital was a nightmare, FYI. He listened, didn't rush me, ran the right tests, and figured it out. Fixed me up. Straightforward guy, which I like. No nonsense.

My whole experience started with just feeling run-down for weeks. I was convinced it was nothing, but my wife made the appointment. I was a bit nervous sitting in the waiting room at Manipal hospitals just do that to me. Dr. Dutta had this calm way of asking questions that actually made me think. He picked up on a detail I'd forgotten to mention, ordered one specific test, and found the issue. It wasn't dramatic, but it needed handling. The follow-up call from his assistant to check on me was a nice touch. He just seems to pay attention to the whole picture, not just the chart.
