Patient Experience
I needed a minor cyst removal, and honestly, I was pretty nervous about the whole thing. Dr. Mukhopadhyay at Manipal Dhakuria made it so straightforward. The day of the procedure, he walked me through each step again, which calmed me down. It was over before I knew it. The follow-up was quick, and the scar is healing really neatly. It was just a simple thing, but he treated it with real care.
Parking at the hospital was a nightmare that day, so I arrived a bit flustered for my appointment. But from the front desk to the nurses, everyone was so calm and helpful. The clinic area itself felt clean and quiet, which helped me settle. When I saw Dr. Mukhopadhyay, he was completely focused, not rushed at all. The whole environment just made a potentially stressful check-up feel manageable.
What stays with me about Dr. Mukhopadhyay is how he talks to you. He doesn't just look at his screen. He makes eye contact, asks about your family, remembers small details from your last visit. When he explained my mother's new medication, he turned his monitor to show us the information and checked three times that we understood. He has a genuine kindness that you don't see everywhere.
I'd been to a few doctors about this nagging fatigue and stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Rahiul Islam actually listened. He asked questions no one else did, ordered some specific tests, and figured out it was a tricky thyroid issue that was messing with everything. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. It wasn't a quick fix, but having the right answer changed everything.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Islam made it feel like no big deal. The whole thing was over in what felt like minutes. He talked me through each step, the local anesthetic worked perfectly, and I was back home the same afternoon. The follow-up was quick and easy, just a glance at the stitches. Sometimes simple things are done well, and that matters.
The parking at Manipal Dhakuria is always a bit of a hunt, I'll be honest. But once inside, the place just runs smoothly. The front desk people knew exactly where to send me, and the nurse who took my vitals was really kind she could tell I was anxious and just chatted about normal stuff to distract me. It made waiting for Dr. Islam a lot less stressful. A good team makes a real difference.
What stuck with me about Dr. Islam was how he talked to my elderly mother. He didn't just talk to me about her high blood pressure. He sat down, looked her in the eye, and explained things slowly and clearly, asking if she understood. He treated her with such respect, not like just another patient. You can't teach that kind of kindness; you either have it or you don't.
I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor on my own, and I was convinced it was something serious. Dr. Banik just had this calm way about him. He actually listened to my jumbled explanation, did a proper check-up, and explained everything in simple words. Turns out it was just bad anxiety and a vitamin thing. Left feeling silly for worrying so much, but mostly just really relieved.
Our 8-year-old, Rohan, had a high fever that wouldn't break for three days. We were panicking. At Manipal Dhakuria, Dr. Rahul Banik was so patient with him. He didn't just talk to us; he got down to Rohan's level, asked him about his school, and made him smile before even checking his throat. He explained the viral infection to us parents without making us feel stupid for being worried. He called the next day himself to check on Rohan's temperature. That meant the world to us.
Had a stubborn skin rash. Went to Dr. Banik. He figured it out fast, gave me a cream. It worked. No fuss, got straight to the point. Would go back.
So, I'd been feeling run down for weeks just tired all the time, no energy. I put it off, you know how it is. Finally booked with Dr. Banik at Manipal. The waiting area was busy, I had to wait a bit past my slot, which I almost used as an excuse to leave! But once I got in, he didn't rush. He asked about my work, my sleep, my diet, things I hadn't even connected. Ordered some blood tests, which came back showing I was severely anemic. Started treatment, and within a month, it was like someone turned the lights back on. He followed up properly, adjusted the dosage. It wasn't magic, it was just good, thorough doctoring.
My son, Arjun, had been running a fever for five days straight. Nothing we did at home seemed to help, and I was terrified. The waiting area at Manipal was crowded, which made me more anxious. But from the moment Dr. Ritika Bhambani Sen walked in, she just... understood. She didn't just look at his chart; she got down to his level, talked to him about his favorite cartoon, and made him smile. Her diagnosis was quick and clear, and she explained everything to me in simple terms, twice, because I was so frazzled. She called the next day to check on him. Seeing my boy bounce back, I know it was because of her care.
Had a persistent stomach issue for weeks. Went to Manipal Hospitals Dhakuria. Saw Dr. Ritika Bhambani Sen. She listened, asked direct questions, ordered the right tests. Explained the results clearly. Prescribed medication. Problem resolved. Efficient, no-nonsense approach. Would recommend.
I was quite nervous about my check-up, to be honest. I’d been putting it off. The clinic was running a little behind schedule, but the staff was kind. Dr. Sen has such a calm way about her. She didn’t rush me at all, even though I had a lot of questions. She answered each one patiently, with a soft smile. Her advice felt very thoughtful, not just a standard list. I left feeling heard and much more at ease about my health. It was a very positive experience.
Wow, what a difference! I’d been feeling run-down for months, seeing different people, and just getting nowhere. Finding Dr. Ritika was a total relief! She actually figured out what was going on it was a vitamin deficiency, of all things. The treatment plan was so straightforward, and within a couple of weeks, my energy was back! I’m telling all my friends about her. She’s brilliant! The parking situation there is a nightmare, but honestly, for this kind of result, I’d walk there!
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this nagging stomach pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Ganguli was the first one who actually seemed to listen to the whole story, not just the symptoms. He ordered a specific set of tests others hadn't thought of, and it turned out to be something quite rare with my pancreas. It wasn't a quick fix, but having the right name for what was wrong made all the difference. He explained it in a way that didn't make me panic.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous about any kind of procedure. Dr. Ganguli walked me through exactly what would happen, step by step, and answered all my 'what if' questions without making me feel silly. The day of, the team at Manipal had it down to a routine. In and out in a few hours, and the follow-up was just a quick check. It was such a relief for something to just go as planned.
Parking at the Dhakuria branch is always a bit of a hunt, I'll be honest. But once you're inside, it's a different feeling. The front desk staff remembered my name on my second visit, which was nice. The place is clean and calm, not chaotic like some hospitals. Even the person who took my blood samples was really gentle and chatted about the weather to distract me. It's the little things that make a stressful visit easier.
What stuck with me about Dr. Ganguli was how he talked to my elderly mother. She gets confused easily. He didn't just talk to me about her medication; he sat down, looked right at her, and explained it slowly and clearly in simple terms. He checked if she understood, not just if I did. You could see her relax. That kind of patience and respect is rare.
At my age, one doesn't look forward to hospital visits. I was quite anxious when my son insisted I see Dr. Aakanksha Malawat at Manipal Dhakuria. From the moment I entered her room, she put me at ease. She spoke clearly, listened patiently to my old complaints, and explained everything about my new medication without rushing. The hospital itself is very clean and calm, which helped. I left feeling looked after, not just treated.
