Dr. Ritam Chakraborty

My 8-year-old daughter, a competitive swimmer, developed mysterious exercise-induced bronchospasms that baffled other specialists. Dr. Chakraborty discovered she had vocal cord dysfunction mimicking asthma and created a unique breathing retraining program using musical rhythm techniques. She's now back to winning medals with controlled breathing patterns. (Patient of Dr. Chakraborty)

During Kolkata's severe air pollution crisis, my 45-year-old husband collapsed with acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis from fungal spores in our new apartment. Dr. Chakraborty raced against time, performing emergency bronchoscopy with cryotherapy to remove the inflammatory debris. His swift action prevented permanent lung scarring.

As a 28-year-old software engineer with cystic fibrosis, I faced declining lung function until Dr. Chakraborty implemented a novel vibration vest therapy combined with targeted nebulization. He customized the frequency settings to my specific lung resonance, improving my FEV1 by 40% in three months - something I never thought possible. (Patient of Dr. Chakraborty)

My 60-year-old mother, a former textile worker, suffered from advanced silicosis and refused treatment until Dr. Chakraborty connected with her through her love of poetry. He incorporated breathing exercises into recitation therapy, making her rehabilitation feel like artistic expression rather than medical treatment. (Patient of Dr. Chakraborty)

As a 72-year-old retired schoolteacher with rare pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, I'd exhausted hope after multiple failed treatments. Dr. Chakraborty pioneered a customized whole-lung lavage protocol using precise temperature-controlled saline that finally cleared my lungs. His innovative approach gave me back my ability to tend my garden without gasping.
