Patient Experience
My 6-month-old baby's failure to thrive concerned multiple doctors. Dr. Adnan performed a modified gastric emptying study that revealed severe reflux, leading to effective treatment that helped our baby start gaining weight normally.
After years of unexplained neurological symptoms, Dr. Adnan's DaTscan provided definitive evidence of Parkinson's disease in my 60-year-old husband. While difficult news, having a clear diagnosis finally allowed us to plan appropriately for the future.
During an emergency admission for severe abdominal pain, Dr. Adnan's quick hepatobiliary scan identified acute cholecystitis that CT scan had missed. His rapid diagnosis enabled immediate surgery that prevented serious complications.
As a cancer survivor, Dr. Adnan's precise follow-up PET scans have provided peace of mind for five years. His careful monitoring detected a recurrence at the earliest possible stage, making treatment much more manageable.
My 33-year-old sister with rare kidney disease benefited from Dr. Adnan's sophisticated renal scintigraphy that mapped each kidney's function separately. This data was crucial for her surgeons to preserve maximum kidney function during operation.
After conventional imaging failed to explain my chronic chest pain, Dr. Adnan's myocardial perfusion imaging revealed restricted blood flow to a small area of my heart. This discovery prevented what could have been a major cardiac event.
Dr. Adnan's neuroendocrine tumor imaging using specialized tracers identified the primary tumor that had eluded detection for years in my 40-year-old brother. His expertise finally provided answers after a decade of searching.
As parents of a child with complex congenital heart disease, Dr. Adnan's nuclear cardiology studies provided critical information about heart function that guided successful corrective surgery when our daughter was just 18 months old.
My 82-year-old father was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer and other doctors had given up hope. Dr. Abhay Kumar not only designed a personalized treatment plan but called us every weekend to check on him. Today, my father is in remission and gardening again - something we never thought possible.
When our 7-year-old daughter was diagnosed with leukemia, Dr. Kumar knelt down to her eye level and explained everything using her teddy bear as a patient. His gentle approach made our terrified child actually look forward to hospital visits. Two years cancer-free now!
Rushed to Manipal Hospital with severe abdominal pain at midnight, I was diagnosed with an aggressive ovarian tumor. Dr. Kumar came in immediately despite the hour, performed emergency surgery himself, and stayed until I was stable. His quick thinking saved my life.
What I appreciate most about Dr. Kumar is how he remembers small details from previous visits. During my routine 6-month follow-up, he asked about my daughter's college applications that I'd mentioned months ago. He treats the person, not just the cancer.
My complex pancreatic cancer surgery required precision that few surgeons possess. Dr. Kumar spent 3 hours with me pre-op explaining every step using 3D models. The surgery was successful with minimal complications - his expertise is truly remarkable.
As a single working mother, coordinating cancer treatment seemed impossible. Dr. Kumar's team arranged all my appointments, tests, and medication deliveries around my work schedule. They treated my logistical concerns with as much importance as my medical ones.
After my husband's passing from cancer, I developed health anxiety about every minor symptom. Dr. Kumar never dismissed my concerns, ordering thorough tests while gently reassuring me. His compassionate approach helped heal both body and mind.
Flying in from Dubai specifically for treatment, I was nervous about foreign healthcare. Dr. Kumar video-called me weeks before my arrival, coordinated with my doctors back home, and had everything ready. World-class care with a personal touch.
My teenage son refused to discuss his testicular cancer with anyone until meeting Dr. Kumar. The doctor created such a comfortable, non-judgmental space that my son finally opened up. His ability to connect with young adults is extraordinary.
During my radiation therapy, Dr. Kumar noticed I was struggling with nausea no medication helped. He researched and suggested an ancient Ayurvedic remedy that worked wonders. His integrative approach to oncology sets him apart.
When my insurance denied coverage for a new targeted therapy, Dr. Kumar personally called the insurance company, wrote appeals, and connected us with patient assistance programs. He fought for my treatment as if I were family.
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.
