Patient Experience
Couples therapy for communication breakdown. Dr. Dey facilitated breakthroughs in one session that years of previous counseling hadn't achieved. Her ability to remain neutral while guiding both partners is exceptional.
What I thought was a routine checkup for mild palpitations revealed a hidden arrhythmia needing ablation. Dr. Mukherjee's ability to explain electrophysiology using cricket analogies (I'm a retired player) made complex science accessible. His preventive approach likely stopped a future catastrophe.
Flying from Dubai specifically for Dr. Mukherjee's expertise with redo coronary bypasses, his meticulous planning stood out. He created a 3D printed model of my heart to discuss the approach, and his innovative technique avoided sternal re-entry complications. World-class care in Kolkata.
Following up after my mitral valve repair, Dr. Mukherjee noticed my anxiety about blood thinners. Instead of rushing, he spent 25 minutes drawing coagulation diagrams on prescription paper and created a color-coded medication schedule for my semi-literate caregiver. Compassion meets brilliance.
As a medical student observing his minimally invasive CABG, I witnessed Dr. Mukherjee teaching residents while operating: 'See how this anastomosis breathes?' His dual focus on patient care and education reflects his belief that great surgery must be passed on.
My husband's emergency cardiac tamponade had three hospitals refusing surgery due to COVID risks. Dr. Mukherjee accepted him without hesitation, performing pericardiocentesis in full PPE while maintaining eye contact to reassure me through the glass partition. Courage in crisis.
For my teenage son's rare cardiac tumor resection, Dr. Mukherjee coordinated with oncologists nationally but personally handled every suture. His policy of taking the patient's phone number and answering evening texts himself provided unparalleled peace of mind.
After my pacemaker implantation, Dr. Mukherjee detected my depression through subtle cues and connected me with a counselor. His holistic view that 'hearts beat in bodies with feelings' changed my recovery trajectory completely.

As a tribal community health worker, I brought villagers for screening. Dr. Mukherjee not only examined them all but arranged subsidized surgeries for three, personally following up with local clinics for postoperative care in remote areas. A doctor who transcends hospital walls.
My wife's high-risk pregnancy with pre-existing heart condition required careful coordination. Dr. Mukherjee attended delivery alongside obstetricians, monitoring her cardiac status throughout labor. Our daughter's first cry harmonized with a perfectly steady heartbeat on the monitor - his gift.
My 8-year-old son was struggling with severe school refusal and anxiety attacks. Dr. Sorcar didn't just prescribe medication, she used play therapy and taught us family coping strategies. Within three months, he's back in school and even joined the drama club. Her child-friendly approach made all the difference.
As an 82-year-old with worsening memory issues, I was terrified of dementia. Dr. Sorcar conducted comprehensive cognitive testing and determined it was medication interactions causing my confusion. She coordinated with my other doctors and now my mind is clear again. She treats seniors with such respect and patience.
Came in for what I thought was a routine medication refill, but Dr. Sorcar noticed subtle changes in my speech patterns. She discovered early signs of lithium toxicity and immediately adjusted my treatment. Her attention to detail during a simple follow-up potentially saved me from serious complications.
After my suicide attempt, the ER referred me to Dr. Sorcar. She created a crisis intervention plan that included daily check-ins and involved my family in the recovery process. Her emergency protocol made me feel protected during my most vulnerable moments.
My teenage daughter with autism was having violent meltdowns. Dr. Sorcar developed a sensory integration plan and taught us de-escalation techniques we'd never learned in 15 years of therapy. She understands neurodiversity in a way few psychiatrists do.

Dr. Sorcar managed my mother's electroconvulsive therapy with incredible care. She personally called after each session to update us and visited on weekends to check her progress. This level of dedication in psychiatric surgery is unheard of.

After my stroke, I developed catastrophic reaction syndrome. Dr. Sorcar worked alongside neurologists to differentiate neurological from psychological symptoms. Her interdisciplinary approach to post-stroke psychiatry was remarkable.
