Manomaya Ayurveda and Wellness

When I began my clinical practice soon after completing my post-graduation in 2001, I never imagined that, one day, maintaining an online presence would become essential to stay relevant in healthcare or to reach patients.

In 2007, I stepped into academics and continued my clinical practice on a part-time basis. I still remember when platforms like Practo had just started and were offering their services free of cost. At that time, I declined their offer to list my facility, as I was strongly against promoting healthcare services like a product. To me, healthcare was never meant to be advertised like fashion, jewellery, or interior design. After all, countless doctors around the world are treating patients every day with dedication and sincerity, without ever showcasing images or testimonials.

Sharing before-and-after images of patients or requesting reviews felt uncomfortable and against the ethics I believed in. However, as I’ve returned to full-time practice, I’ve come to realize that times have changed, and so must our approach.

When our website designer asked for treatment photos and patient feedback, I was at a loss — I had never thought of documenting such things. Today, online reviews and digital presence hold immense influence, even though many of us are aware that some reviews may be fake or paid. Unfortunately, there are facilities that may not deliver genuine care but still attract patients through curated online profiles designed by marketing teams, leaving patients disappointed later.

You may find that our online presence is not as polished or aggressive as others — but at Manomaya Ayurveda, you will never find any compromise in genuine patient care. Our focus has always been, and will continue to be, on authentic healing, ethical practice, and individualized attention at every step of your treatment journey.
