Dr. Sumantra Kumar Raut

I'd been to three other doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain. Everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Raut was the first one who actually listened. He asked about things nobody else did, like the weird rash I'd had months before. He ordered a specific blood test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something called autoimmune hepatitis. It was scary to hear, but finally having a real answer, and a plan from him, made all the difference. He didn't just treat a symptom; he found the problem.

I needed a cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous about the whole thing hospitals make me anxious. But Dr. Raut talked me through every step in his calm way. The procedure itself was over before I knew it. He even checked in the next day to see how the stitches were feeling. It was just a simple thing, but it went so smoothly it changed how I feel about getting minor stuff looked at. No drama, just good care.

Parking at Manipal was a nightmare that day, completely full. I was flustered by the time I got to Dr. Raut's clinic. But the lady at the front desk was so kind, she could tell I was stressed and got me sorted quickly. The whole place just felt calm, even though it was busy. When I saw Dr. Raut, he was completely focused, not rushed. It felt like the whole team, from the reception to the doctor, worked together to make a stressful visit okay.

What I remember most is how Dr. Raut explained my father's condition. My dad was confused and scared after his fall. Dr. Raut pulled up a chair, sat right next to the bed, and drew a little diagram on a notepad to show us what was happening with his hip. He spoke directly to my dad, not just to me. He didn't sugarcoat it, but his quiet, patient way of talking made a frightening situation feel manageable. You could tell he really sees the person, not just the patient in the bed.
