Patient Experience
Rare case of renal tuberculosis in my teenage son - Dr. Roy collaborated with infectious disease specialists across three hospitals, personally tracking down specialized medication, and adjusting treatment weekly based on kidney response. His detective work solved a diagnostic puzzle that had stumped other nephrologists. (Patient of Dr. Roy)
Follow-up care after my kidney stone surgery - Dr. Roy noticed my anxiety about recurrence and developed a personalized hydration plan with reminder alerts on my phone. He even checked my urine color photos I'd text him - going far beyond typical post-op care. (Patient of Dr. Roy)
Elderly patient with multiple comorbidities - Dr. Roy coordinated between cardiology, endocrinology, and nephrology to create a medication schedule that didn't overwhelm my 85-year-old grandmother. His 'less is more' philosophy preserved her quality of life while managing her renal function. (Patient of Dr. Roy)
Sudden onset Goodpasture syndrome - Dr. Roy recognized this rare autoimmune condition immediately during what seemed like a routine fluid retention complaint. His rapid response with plasmapheresis and immunosuppressants prevented permanent lung and kidney damage in my brother. (Patient of Dr. Roy)
Pediatric hemodialysis - Dr. Roy transformed terrifying treatment sessions into adventure stories for my 6-year-old, calling the dialysis machine a 'blood cleaner superhero'. His child-friendly approach made weekly treatments something my son actually looks forward to. (Patient of Dr. Roy)
Complex polycystic kidney disease management across generations - Dr. Roy created a family tree of renal health, tracking patterns through three generations of my family. His proactive genetic counseling and early intervention strategies are changing our family's medical legacy. (Patient of Dr. Roy)
Post-COVID kidney complications - When my husband developed acute tubular necrosis after severe COVID, Dr. Roy pioneered a novel rehabilitation protocol combining gradual renal exercise with nutritional support. His innovative approach became a hospital case study for post-viral kidney recovery. (Patient of Dr. Roy)
My 80-year-old father was rushed to Manipal with acute kidney injury after a severe infection. Dr. Tanmoy Roy didn't just treat numbers on a chart—he sat with us, explained how aging kidneys respond differently, and created a gentle dialysis plan that respected his frailty. He even called us at 10 PM to check his electrolyte report. Dad's now gardening again, all thanks to Dr. Roy's compassionate geriatric care.
When our 7-year-old son was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome, we were terrified. Dr. Roy transformed into a pediatric magician—using toy kidney models to explain treatment, adjusting steroid doses with microscopic precision, and celebrating every gram of protein loss reduction. Our boy now calls him 'Uncle Kidney' and proudly shows off his 'strong bean' drawings from clinic visits. (Patient of Dr. Roy)
I came for a routine creatinine check as a hypertensive patient. Dr. Roy noticed a subtle pattern in my three-year lab trends others missed. 'Your kidneys are whispering,' he said, adjusting my meds preemptively. Six months later, my function is better than ever. This man listens to silences between test results. (Patient of Dr. Roy)
Midnight emergency: my husband's transplanted kidney was rejecting. Dr. Roy raced to the hospital in rain, his calmness cutting through our panic. He explained the cytokine storm like a thriller plot while simultaneously orchestrating plasma exchange. Saved the graft with hours to spare. We don't have words for this level of dedication. (Patient of Dr. Roy)
As a software engineer with polycystic kidney disease, I appreciated how Dr. Roy used data visualization for my prognosis. He created growth rate algorithms for my cysts and explained surgical timing using code metaphors. My laparoscopic cyst decortication felt like a precision-engineered system upgrade—minimal pain, maximal function preserved. (Patient of Dr. Roy)
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)
