Dr. Debabrata Bose

Our 8-year-old daughter needed emergency appendectomy during our vacation in Kolkata. Dr. Bose calmly handled our panicked family at 2 AM, explaining everything in simple terms while moving swiftly. His gentle manner kept our daughter smiling throughout her recovery at Manipal Hospital.

A 45-year-old marathon runner with recurrent inguinal hernia, I'd been through two failed repairs elsewhere. Dr. Bose developed a customized mesh technique that accounted for my athletic lifestyle. Six months post-op, I've completed two full marathons without discomfort.

My 83-year-old mother with dementia needed gallbladder surgery. Dr. Bose coordinated with geriatric specialists to create a dementia-friendly recovery plan, using visual aids and consistent staff. Her confusion was minimal, and she recovered better than we imagined possible.

As a transgender patient, I was nervous about surgical care for my chronic pilonidal sinus. Dr. Bose and his team used my chosen name and pronouns without hesitation while developing a gender-affirming surgical plan that addressed both medical and emotional needs.

As a 72-year-old retired botanist with a rare abdominal desmoid tumor, I was terrified of surgery complications. Dr. Bose's innovative minimally invasive approach not only removed the tumor completely but preserved my digestive function. I was tending my orchid collection again within three weeks.
