Patient Experience
My mother was admitted, and we were all worried sick. Dr. Chattopadhyay was the only one who took the time to actually talk to us, not just give updates. She called me directly to explain the treatment plan in a way we could understand. It made a huge difference for our family during a really tough time.
Saw Dr. Susmita for a persistent cough. Straight to the point, clear advice, got the meds I needed. No fuss, which I appreciate. Follow-up was smooth.
I'd been feeling run down for months, just off. My appointment at Manipal was late in the afternoon, and I was tired. Dr. Chattopadhyay listened to my whole rambling story, asked really specific questions I hadn't even thought about. She connected dots between things I thought were separate my sleep, my energy, some minor aches. Ordered a couple of tests that actually made sense. It wasn't a magic fix, but for the first time, I felt like someone was actually figuring it out with me, step by step.
Had a persistent stomach issue for weeks. Saw Dr. Swagatika Panda at Manipal. She was direct, asked the right questions, and ordered a specific test I hadn't gotten before. Got a clear diagnosis and a treatment plan that worked. No fluff, just solved the problem. Efficient and effective.
I was quite nervous about some ongoing fatigue. Dr. Panda has a very calm way about her. She listened without rushing, explained things in a quiet, clear voice, and made sure I understood each step. The hospital was busy, but in her room, I felt heard. It made a difficult time much easier.
Finally got some answers! After months of vague symptoms and different opinions, a colleague recommended Dr. Panda. She connected dots others missed. The relief is huge. She’s sharp, confident, and got me on the right track. Parking was a hassle, but worth it for this result.
My visit was for a general check-up that turned into something more. Dr. Panda noticed a detail in my history I’d overlooked. She was thorough but moved things along I wasn’t kept waiting long. Her approach is practical and reassuring. Left feeling well-looked-after and with a clear action plan.
My father was admitted with severe abdominal pain. We were all scared, honestly. Dr. Laha came to see him late in the evening, after his scheduled hours. He sat with us in the waiting area and drew a simple diagram on a notepad to explain what was happening with the pancreas. He didn't rush, even though we had a lot of questions. He called my mother the next day himself to give an update. That meant everything to us. Because of his clear plan, my father is home and recovering well.
Took my wife to see Dr. Somnath Laha for persistent fatigue. The clinic was busy, we did wait a bit. But when he entered the room, he was completely focused. He asked direct questions, reviewed the file himself, and laid out two possible paths for tests. No sugar-coating, but also no unnecessary alarm. We left with a clear direction, which was a huge relief after weeks of worry. The treatment he started is working. We feel heard.
Our son, just 8, had a high fever that wouldn't break. In the ER at Manipal, Dr. Laha was so calm. He spoke to our boy first, asking about his favorite cartoon, before even examining him. He explained the infection to us in such a soft, steady voice that our panic just... settled. He made sure we understood each medicine and what to watch for at home. It's the gentle way he handles both the patient and the frightened parents that we'll remember.
After three different opinions about my sister's chronic condition, we met Dr. Laha. Wow. He looked at all her previous reports, asked about details others missed, and actually connected the dots. You could see the pieces clicking for him. He was so enthusiastic about finding a solution, it gave us real hope for the first time. The new treatment plan is specific and makes sense. We finally feel like we're getting somewhere! The relief is incredible.
I'd been to a few doctors about this nagging fatigue and joint pain, and everyone just said it was stress or getting older. Dr. Shivanjali Nayak at Manipal was the first one who actually listened. She asked questions no one else had, ran some different tests, and figured out it was a tricky autoimmune thing. She explained it in a way that finally made sense, without making me feel stupid. It was a relief just to have a name for it and a plan.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Nayak made the whole thing feel like no big deal. The procedure itself was over before I knew it. She checked in the next day, which I really wasn't expecting. The whole experience was just... smooth. No drama, no fuss, just good care.
The place was busy, I had to wait a bit past my appointment time, but you know what? It didn't bother me. The front desk people were really nice about it, and the nurse who took my vitals had a great sense of humor that put me at ease. The hospital itself feels clean and calm, which helps when you're not feeling great. Dr. Nayak's team there really seems to work well together.
What I remember most is how Dr. Nayak talked to my elderly mother. She never rushed her, she sat down at her level, and explained everything about her new medication using simple words and a lot of patience. She has this calm way about her that just makes you feel safe. You can tell she genuinely cares about the person, not just the chart.
I'd been feeling run-down for months, and my local doctor just kept saying it was stress. Dr. Kalaichelvi was different. She actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that was mimicking a dozen other things. She explained it all on a notepad, drawing little diagrams. I finally feel like I have a real answer and a path forward.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Gopal made it so straightforward. The whole thing at Manipal was quick – in and out in a few hours. The procedure itself was fine, barely felt a thing. She checked in the next day herself, which I wasn't expecting. It was just a simple thing, but it went exactly as she said it would.
The waiting area at Manipal EM Bypass is actually quite calm, which helped. But what really stood out was the team. The nurse who took my vitals saw I was anxious and just chatted about normal stuff, which took my mind off it. Even the person at the front desk helped sort out my paperwork without making me feel like a nuisance. It felt like everyone was working together.
You know how some doctors talk at you? Dr. Gopal doesn't. She sits down, looks you in the eye, and has a real conversation. When I was worried about some medication side effects, she didn't dismiss it. She said, 'Let's figure out why that's happening,' and we adjusted the plan together. She remembers personal details, too – asked about my daughter's exams. It makes you feel like a person, not just a case.
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.
