Manipal Hospital Dhakuria Reviews

During my interventional radiology procedure, Dr. Chaudhuri noticed I was a photographer and described the fluoroscopy process using camera analogies. His creative communication distracted me from the procedure while making complex medical technology feel familiar and safe. (Patient of Dr. Chaudhuri)

As someone with severe claustrophobia, I'd avoided MRI for years. Dr. Chaudhuri's team developed a gradual desensitization protocol - first showing me the machine powered down, then practicing with the head coil, and using special mirrors so I could see out. They made the impossible possible. (Patient of Dr. Chaudhuri)

Post-COVID, my persistent symptoms baffled other doctors. Dr. Chaudhuri correlated my chest CT with pulmonary function tests in ways I hadn't seen before, identifying specific patterns of damage that guided targeted rehabilitation. His integrative approach finally gave me a path forward. (Patient of Dr. Chaudhuri)

A 72-year-old retired schoolteacher from rural West Bengal arrived with persistent headaches, having traveled 8 hours by train. Dr. Sengupta's contrast-enhanced MRI revealed a rare choroid plexus papilloma that previous CT scans had missed. The patient's family sold ancestral jewelry to fund the surgery, which was successful with complete tumor removal. The patient now volunteers at a local literacy program.

A 28-year-old professional dancer presented with unexplained knee pain that threatened her career. Dr. Sengupta employed dynamic ultrasound imaging during different dance positions, identifying a previously undiagnosed patellofemoral instability. Conservative treatment with specialized physical therapy allowed her to return to performing within 3 months without surgery. (Patient of Dr. Sengupta)

A 45-year-old street food vendor with limited financial means came with abdominal discomfort. Dr. Sengupta's ultrasound revealed early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma. She coordinated with hospital administration for subsidized treatment and guided the interventional radiologist through successful radiofrequency ablation. The patient returned to work after 6 weeks and now attends regular screening. (Patient of Dr. Sengupta)

A 7-year-old boy from an affluent family was brought in after a minor fall. Routine X-rays appeared normal, but Dr. Sengupta noticed subtle trabecular patterns suggesting osteogenesis imperfecta. Genetic testing confirmed the diagnosis, allowing preventive measures that prevented multiple future fractures. The family established a foundation for bone disorder research in gratitude. (Patient of Dr. Sengupta)

A 33-year-old pregnant woman at 28 weeks gestation was referred for fetal MRI after routine ultrasound showed ambiguous findings. Dr. Sengupta identified a correctable congenital diaphragmatic hernia in utero. She worked with the neonatal team to plan a EXIT procedure, resulting in both mother and baby surviving with excellent long-term outcomes. (Patient of Dr. Sengupta)

A 60-year-old fisherman from coastal Sundarbans presented with neurological symptoms. Dr. Sengupta's MRI revealed neurocysticercosis from contaminated water. She implemented a novel imaging protocol to monitor treatment response, avoiding unnecessary surgery. The patient recovered fully and now educates his community about water safety. (Patient of Dr. Sengupta)

An 18-year-old college athlete collapsed during a marathon. Dr. Sengupta's emergency CT angiography identified an anomalous coronary artery. Her precise imaging guided life-saving surgery. The patient now runs a cardiac awareness campaign for young athletes and has completed three half-marathons post-recovery. (Patient of Dr. Sengupta)

A 52-year-old construction worker with limited education arrived with back pain. Previous providers had dismissed it as muscular. Dr. Sengupta's targeted MRI revealed spinal tuberculosis. She created visual aids to explain the condition and treatment, leading to successful anti-tubercular therapy and full functional recovery after 9 months. (Patient of Dr. Sengupta)

A 39-year-old IT professional undergoing fertility treatment was found to have complex ovarian masses. Dr. Sengupta's multiparametric MRI characterized them as benign thecomas, avoiding unnecessary oophorectomy. The patient successfully conceived through IVF six months later and delivered healthy twins. (Patient of Dr. Sengupta)

An 81-year-old dementia patient was brought from a nursing home with swallowing difficulties. Dr. Sengupta modified the videofluoroscopic swallow study to accommodate cognitive limitations, identifying precise pharyngeal dysfunction. Her recommendations for modified food textures prevented aspiration pneumonia and improved quality of life. (Patient of Dr. Sengupta)

A 25-year-old transgender patient on hormone therapy presented with breast changes. Dr. Sengupta's ultrasound and MRI differentiated expected hormonal effects from pathological changes, providing reassurance while establishing baseline imaging for future comparison. The patient became an advocate for transgender healthcare accessibility. (Patient of Dr. Sengupta)

A 47-year-old restaurant owner with no family history presented for routine screening. Dr. Sengupta's low-dose CT lung cancer screening detected a Stage IA adenocarcinoma. Minimally invasive resection led to cure without chemotherapy. The patient now offers free health check-ups for his employees. (Patient of Dr. Sengupta)

A 10-year-old girl from an orphanage was brought with developmental delay. Dr. Sengupta's specialized neuroimaging revealed Sturge-Weber syndrome. Her detailed mapping of leptomeningeal angiomas guided targeted medical therapy, significantly reducing seizure frequency and improving cognitive function. (Patient of Dr. Sengupta)

A 65-year-old retired banker with multiple comorbidities needed vascular access for dialysis. Dr. Sengupta's ultrasound-guided mapping identified the only viable access site, avoiding multiple failed attempts. The patient maintained this access successfully for 4 years until kidney transplantation. (Patient of Dr. Sengupta)

A 31-year-old refugee from a conflict zone presented with vague symptoms and psychological trauma. Dr. Sengupta used limited but targeted ultrasound to diagnose schistosomiasis without triggering trauma from enclosed MRI. Treatment led to full recovery, and the patient now works as a community interpreter. (Patient of Dr. Sengupta)

My 78-year-old father was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer, and Dr. Shreya Bhattacharya handled his case with incredible compassion. She didn't just focus on the medical aspects but also considered his quality of life, adjusting treatments to minimize side effects while maintaining his dignity. Her regular phone check-ins during COVID made us feel cared for beyond hospital visits.

When our 8-year-old daughter needed treatment for leukemia, Dr. Bhattacharya became her 'storybook doctor.' She'd explain procedures using puppet shows and drawings, turning scary hospital days into adventures. Her innovative approach to pediatric oncology made our child actually look forward to appointments, and today she's in remission. (Patient of Dr. Bhattacharya)
