Manipal Hospital Dhakuria Reviews

Geriatric hip replacement follow-up - at 85, I expected to be treated as fragile. Dr. Chakravarty challenged me with progressive exercises that restored my independence. His belief in my recovery was more powerful than any medication - I'm living alone again and gardening daily. (Patient of Dr. Chakravarty)

My 80-year-old father was admitted with severe pneumonia and confusion. Dr. Dasgupta not only stabilized him with precise medication but sat with our family for 20 minutes explaining lung aging processes in Bengali. He remembered Dad's love for Rabindra Sangeet and played gentle music during nebulization. Three weeks later, Dad's singing again!

As an asthma patient for 30 years, I've seen many pulmonologists. Dr. Dasgupta actually listened when I described my symptom patterns during monsoon season. He created a personalized monsoon-action plan with weather-trigger adjustments and taught me breathing techniques I'd never learned before. My rescue inhaler use dropped 70% in 2 months! (Patient of Dr. Dasgupta)

Rushed my 6-year-old to emergency at 2 AM with blue lips from an asthma attack. Dr. Dasgupta was there within minutes, calmly directing nurses while making my daughter laugh with cartoon character impressions. His emergency protocol was so efficient she was stable in 15 minutes. He followed up personally for 3 days. (Patient of Dr. Dasgupta)

Underwent VATS lung biopsy for suspicious nodules. Dr. Dasgupta drew the procedure on my chest with marker to show exactly what he'd do - never seen that before! The 2cm incision healed beautifully, and he called with biopsy results himself at 8 PM saying 'good news shouldn't wait.' (Patient of Dr. Dasgupta)

My COPD follow-up turned into a life-changing consultation. Dr. Dasgupta noticed my oxygen saturation dropped dramatically when I spoke about my late-night cooking show habit. He diagnosed 'talking-induced desaturation' and created a speaking-pacing technique that improved my quality of life immensely. (Patient of Dr. Dasgupta)

Brought my teenage son who'd been hiding his worsening asthma to avoid missing cricket matches. Instead of scolding, Dr. Dasgupta designed an 'athlete's asthma management plan' with pre-game warm-up breathing exercises. My son now manages his condition confidently and made the school team. (Patient of Dr. Dasgupta)

Complex case of bronchiectasis with recurrent infections. Dr. Dasgupta coordinated with infectious disease specialists but took personal responsibility for my chest physiotherapy. He taught my husband percussion techniques and checked our technique via video call on his day off. (Patient of Dr. Dasgupta)

Routine pre-employment lung check revealed early-stage sarcoidosis. Dr. Dasgupta's thoroughness caught what others might have missed. His monitoring plan includes seasonal pollen maps and air quality alerts specific to my commute route - incredibly detailed preventive care. (Patient of Dr. Dasgupta)

Emergency bronchoscopy for foreign body aspiration. Dr. Dasgupta remained eerily calm when I was panicking about a Lego piece in my 4-year-old's lung. His team had it removed in 12 minutes flat. He later sent a 'Lego-free breathing certificate' that made my son feel proud. (Patient of Dr. Dasgupta)

Follow-up for long COVID lung damage. Dr. Dasgupta created a 'lung re-training program' combining pulmonary rehab with cognitive exercises. His innovative approach to post-viral care has me breathing better than before I got sick. (Patient of Dr. Dasgupta)

Industrial worker with suspected occupational lung disease. Dr. Dasgupta visited my workplace personally to understand chemical exposures, then designed a protective protocol my company actually implemented. He fights for patients beyond the clinic walls. (Patient of Dr. Dasgupta)

Pleural effusion drainage procedure. Dr. Dasgupta used ultrasound guidance and explained each step as he went, even showing me the fluid removal on screen. His transparency turned a scary procedure into an educational experience. (Patient of Dr. Dasgupta)

Smoking cessation consultation that actually worked! Instead of lectures, Dr. Dasgupta analyzed my smoking patterns and identified 'trigger locations.' His replacement strategy using specific breathing exercises during cravings broke my 20-year habit in 6 weeks. (Patient of Dr. Dasgupta)

A 28-year-old traditional Bengali folk artist presented with chronic wrist pain that multiple orthopedic specialists had dismissed as repetitive strain injury. Dr. Choudhury's high-resolution ultrasound revealed a rare triangular fibrocartilage complex tear that conventional MRI had missed. The precise imaging allowed for targeted minimally invasive repair, enabling the artist to return to intricate brushwork within 6 weeks, preserving her family's centuries-old artistic tradition.

A 72-year-old retired schoolteacher from a remote village arrived with unexplained weight loss and abdominal discomfort. Previous scans elsewhere were inconclusive. Dr. Choudhury performed contrast-enhanced CT enterography that identified early-stage small bowel carcinoid tumors. The early detection enabled laparoscopic resection before metastasis, with the patient requiring no chemotherapy and maintaining full independence at 2-year follow-up. (Patient of Dr. Ray)

A 45-year-old construction worker with limited healthcare access developed progressive neurological symptoms after a minor head injury. Dr. Choudhury's diffusion tensor imaging revealed traumatic axonal injury patterns that conventional CT hadn't detected. This guided a neurorehabilitation protocol that significantly improved cognitive function over 9 months, allowing the patient to transition to supervisory work. (Patient of Dr. Ray)

A 17-year-old aspiring dancer from an affluent family presented with persistent knee pain. Dr. Choudhury's dynamic musculoskeletal ultrasound during dance movements identified patellar tracking abnormality and early cartilage wear. The imaging-guided physical therapy prevented joint deterioration, enabling the dancer to secure a prestigious scholarship without surgical intervention. (Patient of Dr. Ray)

A 58-year-old street food vendor with uncontrolled diabetes presented with foot ulceration. Dr. Choudhury's Doppler and spectral waveform analysis revealed microvascular compromise undetectable by clinical examination alone. This prompted aggressive vascular intervention that prevented amputation, allowing the vendor to maintain his livelihood despite advanced diabetic complications. (Patient of Dr. Ray)

A 34-year-old pregnant software engineer at 28 weeks gestation was referred for fetal MRI after routine ultrasound suggested cerebral abnormalities. Dr. Choudhury's specialized neuroimaging protocol confirmed normal brain development, alleviating tremendous family anxiety and preventing unnecessary invasive testing during high-risk pregnancy.
