Patient Experience
At my age, one becomes rather accustomed to a certain briskness in medical consultations. My visit to Dr. Sonali Dey was a pleasant departure. She took the time to sit and listen to my various, perhaps mundane, concerns about my arthritis and digestion. Her explanations were clear, and she never made me feel rushed, even when the clinic was quite busy. I left feeling heard and, more importantly, comfortable with the simple plan she suggested.
Had a persistent stomach issue for weeks. Went to Manipal, saw Dr. Dey. She asked direct questions, ordered the right tests, and diagnosed the problem quickly. Prescription worked. Follow-up was efficient. Problem solved.
I was quite nervous about my check-up, as I always am. Dr. Dey has such a calm way about her. She spoke softly, walked me through each step before she did it, and answered all my questions without making me feel silly for asking. The hospital itself is large and can feel overwhelming, but in her room, I felt at ease. She’s a very kind doctor.
Finally! After seeing two other doctors for this fatigue, Dr. Dey actually figured it out. She really listened to everything I said, connected the dots I didn’t even see, and ran a specific blood test. It was a vitamin deficiency, simple as that. I’ve been on supplements for a month now and I feel like myself again. So glad I booked that appointment!
