Patient Experience
My mother's dementia made dialysis a nightmare—she'd pull out needles in confusion. Dr. Roy redesigned her entire care: twilight sedation, padded restraints she thought were 'cozy sleeves', and humming her favorite Rabindra Sangeet during sessions. He treats the person, not just the organ. (Patient of Dr. Roy)
Rare disease diagnosis: I have C3 glomerulopathy that five doctors missed. Dr. Roy spent his Sunday researching recent trials, found a targeted therapy that isn't even in Indian protocols yet. He fought insurance for weeks while monitoring me daily. My proteinuria dropped 80% in two months—he's not just a doctor, he's a medical detective. (Patient of Dr. Roy)
Follow-up after renal biopsy: Dr. Roy noticed I was anxious about scar formation. He showed me my own tissue slides under microscope, pointing out healing patterns like a storyteller. 'Your kidneys are knitting themselves back together,' he said. Turned a scary procedure into a biology lesson. (Patient of Dr. Roy)
International patient from Bangladesh here: Dr. Roy coordinated with my Dhaka nephrologist via encrypted chats, syncing medications across borders. When customs held my immunosuppressants, he arranged emergency stocks from his own supply. Cross-border care shouldn't work this smoothly—but he made it happen. (Patient of Dr. Roy)
Diabetic nephropathy patient for 15 years: Dr. Roy caught my early retinopathy during a kidney checkup. 'Eyes and kidneys are cousins,' he explained, referring me to ophthalmology before vision symptoms appeared. His systemic thinking saved my eyesight while managing my renal function. (Patient of Dr. Roy)
Young athlete with rhabdomyolysis after extreme marathon: Dr. Roy designed a aggressive hydration protocol that felt like a sports training regimen. He monitored my CK levels hourly, using exercise physiology principles to flush toxins. Back to running in 3 weeks with safer training limits. (Patient of Dr. Roy)
Pregnancy with solitary kidney: High-risk OBGs were nervous, but Dr. Roy created a trimester-wise renal load map. He predicted exactly when I'd need hydration boosts and adjusted BP meds weekly. Delivered healthy twins without a single renal complication—he managed my kidney like a precious cargo. (Patient of Dr. Roy)
Rural patient with limited literacy: Dr. Roy drew kidney diagrams using turmeric and beetroot juice to explain my father's treatment. Created color-coded medication charts with sun/moon symbols. Follow-up calls in simple Bengali to check if we understood. Healthcare made accessible without condescension. (Patient of Dr. Roy)
Late-stage CKD patient opting for conservative management: While everyone pushed dialysis, Dr. Roy respected my choice. He crafted a meticulous symptom-control plan with palliative care integration. Even now, he visits my home to adjust medications, proving comfort can be as scientific as cure. (Patient of Dr. Roy)
