Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Shyamal for my blood pressure and general health for nearly a decade, since before he was at Manipal. What I value most is that he remembers me, my history, and my lifestyle. He doesn't just read the chart; he asks about my work stress or if I've been able to walk more. His advice is consistent, and he's honest when something needs more attention versus when I'm just worrying too much. That kind of trust, built over years, is what real healthcare is about.
Had a weird stomach thing going on for weeks. Saw Dr. Anup Shyamal. He listened, asked straight questions, ordered the right tests. Got it sorted. No fuss.
So, I woke up with this sharp pain under my ribs. Tried to ignore it, but by afternoon, I was driving myself to Manipal Hospital. The parking was a nightmare, honestly. I got to Dr. Anup Shyamal's clinic, braced for a rushed appointment. But he sat back, let me explain the whole thing how it hurt more when I breathed in, how I'd been stressed at work. He poked around, asked about my diet, and said it was likely a muscular thing aggravated by stress and maybe my posture at my desk. Gave me some stretches, told me to use a heat pack, and said to come back if it didn't ease in a few days. It did ease up. It was just nice to have someone not immediately jump to scary conclusions and actually think about the whole picture.
I'd been to three other doctors with this weird, lingering fatigue and stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Prabhas Tripathy was the first one who actually sat and listened to my whole history, even the bits I thought were irrelevant. He ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a tricky thyroid issue combined with a mild infection. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad no fancy jargon. Finally felt like someone had connected the dots.
Needed a minor cyst removal. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital process than the surgery itself. Dr. Tripathy's team at Manipal made it so straightforward. The procedure itself was quick, he checked in right after, and the nurse gave my wife very clear instructions for the bandage. It healed up perfectly. Sometimes simple things done right mean the most.
Parking at the hospital was a nightmare that day, I was flustered by the time I got in. But the front desk lady was really patient, and the nurse who took my vitals had this calm way about her that just settled me down. The whole place in the outpatient section felt clean and quiet, not chaotic. When Dr. Tripathy came in, he’d already reviewed my file and didn't make me repeat my whole story. The whole team just worked well together.
What I remember most is how he talked to my elderly mother. She was scared and hard of hearing. Dr. Tripathy didn't raise his voice; he just pulled his chair closer, spoke slowly, and made sure she understood each step before moving on. He treated her with a kind of respect you don't always see. That meant more to our family than any medicine.
My 8-year-old son had been having these awful stomach pains for weeks. We saw a couple of doctors, but nothing helped. I was so scared. When we met Dr. Islam, he didn't just look at the charts. He got down on my son's level, talked to him about his favorite cartoons, and made him laugh. He explained everything to me in simple terms, even drew a little diagram. The treatment plan worked. Seeing my boy run around and eat properly again... that's everything. The hospital was busy, and we waited a bit, but Dr. Islam never made us feel rushed.
Had a persistent fever and fatigue. Went to Manipal. Saw Dr. SK Majarul Islam. He listened, asked clear questions, ordered the right tests. Diagnosis was swift. Treatment was effective. No fuss. He's a good doctor. I'm better now.
I was quite nervous about my check-up, to be honest. Dr. Islam has such a calm way about him. He speaks softly and really listens. He took the time to answer all my little questions without making me feel silly. It felt like talking to a very knowledgeable, kind uncle. The care was thorough, and I left feeling reassured and well looked-after.
Wow, what a relief! I'd been putting off dealing with this nagging health issue for months. Finally saw Dr. Islam at Manipal. He was fantastic! Straight to the point, super knowledgeable, and fixed me up. The whole process was smooth. I feel like a new person! Seriously, if you need a great general doctor, go see him. So glad I did!
My hands were shaking in the waiting room at Manipal. It was my first time seeing a doctor for this stomach issue, and I was convinced it was something terrible. Dr. Karmakar walked in, and right away he just had this calm way about him. He listened to all my jumbled-up worries without interrupting. When he explained it was likely just a bad reaction to some new food, I actually felt the tightness in my chest loosen. He didn't rush me out, either. Just a really decent person who made a scary first visit okay.
Had a persistent cough for three weeks. Went to Manipal Hospital, saw Dr. Anirban Karmakar. He asked clear questions, checked me over, ordered an X-ray to rule out anything serious. Diagnosis was a post-viral thing. He prescribed medication, told me what to expect. Cough cleared up in a few days. Efficient, knew what he was doing. Parking at the hospital is always a hassle, though.
I was quite worried about my father's constant fatigue. Dr. Karmakar saw us at Manipal. He has a very gentle way of speaking. He examined my father so patiently and explained everything in simple terms we could understand, even drew a little diagram. He arranged the necessary tests and called us himself with the results to put our minds at ease. It was a stressful time, and his kindness meant a great deal to our family.
Finally! After months of this nagging joint pain and two other doctors who just shrugged, I saw Dr. Karmakar. He actually looked at my old reports, asked about my workout routine, and poked around my knee for a good ten minutes. Figured out it was a tendon issue from overtraining. Gave me a rehab plan instead of just more pills. I'm already feeling better. This guy actually listens and solves the problem. So glad I found him!
My mother was admitted with a high fever and confusion. We were all very scared. Dr. Avijatri Dutta came to see her late in the evening, after his rounds. He sat with us in the waiting area and drew a simple diagram on a notepad to explain what might be happening. He didn't rush us, even though it was clear he was tired. He said, 'Let's take this one step at a time.' That calm approach made all the difference for our family. My mother is home now, recovering well.
Took my father to Manipal with severe abdominal pain. The emergency was busy, and we waited a bit. Dr. Dutta was direct. He said the scans showed a problem that needed watching. He laid out two clear options for treatment, with plain pros and cons for each. No sugar-coating, which I appreciated. We chose the conservative route, and he scheduled a follow-up for the next week himself. His no-nonsense style cut through our panic.
My husband was the patient. I was so anxious I could barely speak. Dr. Dutta has a very quiet, gentle way of talking. He listened more than he spoke. When he did explain the medication plan, his voice was so soft I had to lean in, but it was strangely calming. He made sure I understood each instruction before he left the room. It wasn't a grand gesture, but that kindness meant the world to me on a really difficult day.
Our 8-year-old son had a bad infection that wasn't improving. We met Dr. Dutta at Manipal. Finally, someone who didn't just talk to us parents, but crouched down to my son's level and asked him where it hurt! He explained the new antibiotics in a way my kid could grasp. When the fever broke after two days, we were so relieved. My son said, 'That doctor was nice.' From a kid who's usually terrified of hospitals, that says it all. Dr. Dutta just gets it.
At my age, hospital visits can be quite unsettling. Dr. Sandeep Chakroborty at Manipal made me feel genuinely cared for. He explained my condition in simple terms, never rushed me, and his calm manner put me at ease. The whole experience was far less stressful than I had feared.
