Dr. RN Bhattacharya Reviews

My 78-year-old father was rushed to Manipal with a subdural hematoma after a fall. Dr. Bhattacharya not only performed the emergency craniotomy flawlessly but personally called me at 2 AM to update his condition. His calm demeanor during crisis was our anchor.

As a mother of a 7-year-old with a rare spinal cord tumor, I was terrified. Dr. Bhattacharya drew diagrams to explain the procedure using cartoon characters and even held my son's hand until anesthesia took effect. The successful surgery felt like magic.

Came for what I thought was a routine migraine follow-up. Dr. Bhattacharya spotted subtle neurological signs others missed and ordered an MRI that revealed an early-stage aneurysm. His vigilance literally saved my life during a 'simple' checkup.

Witnessed Dr. Bhattacharya handle a complex meningioma resection with intraoperative neuromonitoring. He narrated each step to the nervous resident while operating, like a maestro conducting an orchestra of precision. Five hours later, tumor was gone with zero deficits.

My post-op follow-up felt like meeting an old friend. Dr. Bhattacharya remembered my daughter's college entrance exam date and asked about it before checking my incision. That human touch matters more than he knows.

Emergency department called him at 3 AM for a traumatic brain injury patient. He arrived in 12 minutes, still buttoning his shirt, and immediately took command. His decisive actions in those golden hours gave my brother a fighting chance.

For my cervical disc replacement, he used a minimally invasive approach I'd never heard of. Explained the biomechanics using a pen and his coffee mug. Woke up with immediate arm pain relief and was home in 48 hours.

Saw him comfort a crying elderly patient who couldn't afford medication. Dr. Bhattacharya quietly arranged hospital subsidies and personally delivered the prescription to the pharmacy. Leadership isn't just about surgery, it's about heart.

My teenage daughter's pituitary tumor required transsphenoidal surgery. He made her laugh about 'getting to the brain through the nose' and even showed her the endoscopic camera. Turned a terrifying experience into an adventure.

Complex brachial plexus injury from a bike accident. Three surgeons had given up. Dr. Bhattacharya spent 11 hours in OR reconstructing nerves using grafts from my leg. Now I can hold my newborn nephew, every finger movement feels like a miracle.

Routine post-op visit turned into an impromptu neurology lesson when he noticed my interest. Drew entire spinal cord pathways on a napkin and gifted me a neuroanatomy book from his shelf. Who does that?

Watched him handle an intraoperative crisis during my wife's aneurysm clipping when the vessel tore. His hands never shook, voice never rose. Just calmly repaired it while humming under his breath. That's mastery under pressure.

Flew from Dubai specifically for his opinion on my Chiari malformation. He spent two hours comparing MRI slices from different angles, then created a 3D-printed model of my skull to plan the decompression. Worth every mile.

Thought my chronic back pain was just age-related. Dr. Bhattacharya identified a syrinx in my spinal cord during a casual consultation. His early detection prevented permanent nerve damage. Sometimes genius is in the details.
