Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Silima for my blood pressure and general health for over eight years now. She remembers details from my last visit without always checking the file, which makes me feel listened to. The clinic can get busy, and sometimes I wait a bit, but I don't mind because I know when it's my turn, she gives me her full attention. She doesn't rush to change medications; she prefers to adjust things slowly and see how I respond. That consistency is what keeps me coming back.
Had a bad stomach issue that wouldn't go away. Went to Manipal, saw Dr. Silima. She was direct, asked clear questions, ordered the right tests. Explained what she thought it was and the treatment plan in simple terms. Got better in a few days. Parking was a hassle that day, but the appointment itself was efficient. She's good.
I was quite nervous about some persistent fatigue I was feeling. Dr. Silima has such a calm way about her. She took her time during the consultation, speaking softly and letting me explain everything. She didn't dismiss my worries, even the small ones. We ran some tests, and her follow-up call to discuss the results was very reassuring. It wasn't anything serious, just needed some dietary changes. I felt truly cared for, not just processed.
Finally got some answers! I'd been to a couple of doctors about these random headaches and dizziness, but Dr. Tarenia was the one who actually pieced it together. She asked about things no one else had my sleep pattern, my work setup. She figured it was a combination of eye strain and tension. Her approach made so much sense. I followed her advice, and the difference has been huge. What a relief to find someone who really digs into the problem.
