Patient Experience
At my age, one becomes rather apprehensive about new doctors. Dr. Dutta put me at ease immediately. He didn't rush me, explained my new medication in simple terms, and even asked about my home situation to ensure I could manage. The hospital is large, but his manner made the whole visit less daunting.
Our 8-year-old had a high fever that wouldn't break, and we were terrified. Dr. Dutta saw us quickly even though the clinic was busy. He was so calm with our son, explaining everything to him in a way a kid could understand. He didn't just treat the fever; he listened to all our worries and gave us a clear plan. We left feeling like we finally had things under control.
Had a weird stomach thing for weeks. Saw Dr. Dutta. He figured it out, gave me a script, told me what to avoid. Done. Felt better in a few days. No fuss.
I went in for what I thought was just a bad cough that wouldn't quit. I was expecting a quick check and some syrup. But Dr. Dutta actually sat back after listening to my chest and asked about other things—my energy levels, if I'd lost weight without trying. He connected dots I didn't even see. Ordered a couple of specific tests, and it turned out to be a mild thyroid issue, not just a chest infection. The cough was just a side effect. I'm glad he looked at the whole picture, not just the obvious symptom.
