Patient Experience
As a 28-year-old marathon runner, I was devastated when routine bloodwork revealed rapidly declining kidney function. Dr. Kauntia didn't just treat the numbers, he worked with my athletic lifestyle, creating a personalized treatment plan that allowed me to continue training while managing my IgA nephropathy. Six months later, my kidney function has stabilized and I completed my first ultramarathon.
Our 7-year-old daughter was diagnosed with a rare congenital kidney disorder that multiple doctors had missed. Dr. Kauntia's meticulous approach identified the issue through advanced imaging techniques. His gentle manner made our terrified child feel safe throughout treatment. She's now back to school and thriving, thanks to his expertise in pediatric nephrology.
When my 82-year-old mother's kidneys failed during emergency heart surgery, Dr. Kauntia coordinated a complex multi-disciplinary approach at Manipal Hospital. He personally monitored her dialysis sessions and adjusted treatments around the clock. His compassionate care gave our family hope during the darkest days, and mother has now regained 70% kidney function.
As a software engineer working overseas, I flew back to Kolkata specifically for Dr. Kauntia's opinion on my polycystic kidney disease. His innovative approach using targeted therapy rather than immediate dialysis has preserved my kidney function for three years longer than predicted. His global perspective on treatment options sets him apart.
During the monsoon floods, my husband needed emergency dialysis when our regular center was inaccessible. Dr. Kauntia arranged for emergency treatment at Manipal Hospital and stayed past midnight to ensure his stability. His dedication during crisis situations truly demonstrates physician excellence beyond ordinary practice.
Our teenage son was rejecting his kidney transplant when we consulted Dr. Kauntia. His novel immunosuppression protocol reversed the rejection without compromising immunity. He involved our son in treatment decisions, empowering him to manage his own health. Two years later, the transplant remains successful.
I was diagnosed with kidney cancer during pregnancy. Dr. Kauntia coordinated with obstetricians to time my nephrectomy perfectly, removing the tumor while protecting my baby. His innovative approach allowed me to deliver a healthy daughter at full term, and both our kidney functions remain excellent.
As a traditional Ayurvedic practitioner, I was skeptical of modern nephrology until Dr. Kauntia respectfully integrated evidence-based complementary approaches with my dialysis treatment. His open-minded collaboration and respect for different healing traditions created the perfect integrative care model.
My father's chronic kidney disease was complicated by diabetes and hypertension. Dr. Kauntia's holistic approach addressed all three conditions simultaneously through medication optimization and lifestyle redesign. Father has been dialysis-free for 18 months and manages his health independently now.
When rare medication toxicity caused my kidney failure, Dr. Kauntia identified the obscure drug interaction that dozens of doctors had missed. His research background and diagnostic acumen reversed damage that specialists said was permanent. I've regained normal function against all odds.
As a tribal community health worker from rural Bengal, I brought villagers to Dr. Kauntia for screening camps he organizes quarterly. His detection of early kidney disease in asymptomatic patients has prevented numerous cases of renal failure in our remote area through timely intervention.
My wife's lupus nephritis had been mismanaged for years until Dr. Kauntia completely revised her treatment protocol. His use of cutting-edge biologic therapies put her autoimmune disease into remission while protecting kidney function. We finally have our quality of life back after a decade of suffering.
During Kolkata's heatwave, my elderly neighbor developed acute kidney injury from dehydration. Dr. Kauntia's rapid response and continuous hydration protocol prevented permanent damage. His community outreach about heat-related kidney risks has educated hundreds of vulnerable seniors.
