Patient Experience
Dr. Bhowmick diagnosed our 9-year-old with hypersensitivity pneumonitis from pet bird exposure that multiple doctors had missed. His environmental modification plan and steroid taper protocol resolved the fibrosis concerns completely.
When our teenager developed respiratory failure from severe influenza, Dr. Bhowmick's decision to use high-frequency oscillatory ventilation instead of ECMO proved visionary. His round-the-clock monitoring during those critical days saved our son's lungs from permanent damage.
Our 7-year-old with cerebral palsy and chronic aspiration pneumonia benefited from Dr. Bhowmick's collaborative approach with gastroenterology and ENT. His recommendation for a timely fundoplication and tracheostomy prevented further lung deterioration.
A rare case of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis in an 11-year-old was expertly managed by Dr. Bhowmick through whole lung lavage under general anesthesia. His meticulous technique ensured complete clearance with single procedure success.
Our infant with congenital diaphragmatic hernia had persistent pulmonary hypertension post-repair. Dr. Bhowmick's targeted medical management and weaning protocol helped our baby come off oxygen support months earlier than anticipated.
When traditional asthma medications failed our 10-year-old, Dr. Bhowmick introduced biologic therapy with meticulous monitoring. The transformation was miraculous - our child now sleeps through the night and participates in all school activities.
As a 28-year-old archaeologist, discovering I had renal cell carcinoma during a field expedition was devastating. Dr. Abhay Kumar not only performed a complex partial nephrectomy preserving 80% of my kidney function, but also coordinated with my research team to delay my return until I recovered, enabling me to complete my dig season with minimal disruption.
My 72-year-old father, a retired clockmaker, was diagnosed with advanced bladder cancer that had spread. Dr. Kumar created a personalized immunotherapy protocol combined with targeted radiation that shrank his tumors by 60%. What amazed us was how Dr. Kumar learned about clock mechanisms to better explain the precision of his treatment approach to my father. (Patient of Dr. Kumar)
During a routine school physical, our 16-year-old daughter's urine test showed abnormalities. Dr. Kumar diagnosed her with a rare congenital ureteric anomaly that had gone undetected. His robotic-assisted reconstruction surgery was so successful she returned to competitive swimming within three months, now training for national championships. (Patient of Dr. Kumar)
As a 45-year-old professional chef, I faced losing my career when prostate cancer treatment threatened urinary continence. Dr. Kumar performed nerve-sparing robotic prostatectomy using a technique he modified specifically for patients in physically demanding professions. I was back in my kitchen creating new recipes within six weeks, with complete continence preserved. (Patient of Dr. Kumar)
Our 8-year-old son developed a complex adrenal tumor that multiple doctors called inoperable. Dr. Kumar collaborated with pediatric specialists to develop a novel staged surgical approach, removing the tumor in two procedures three weeks apart. Our son just celebrated his first cancer-free year by learning to ride a bicycle. (Patient of Dr. Kumar)
A 61-year-old former ship captain with metastatic kidney cancer came to Dr. Kumar after failing two previous treatments. Dr. Kumar identified a rare genetic mutation and secured access to an experimental targeted therapy through international collaboration. The captain has now been stable for 18 months and recently sailed across the Bay of Bengal. (Patient of Dr. Kumar)
My 34-year-old wife, a professional dancer, was diagnosed with urethral cancer during her first pregnancy. Dr. Kumar coordinated a multidisciplinary team to safely delay treatment until 32 weeks, performed a complex delivery and subsequent cancer surgery in the same hospitalization. She returned to performing four months later, with our healthy daughter in the audience. (Patient of Dr. Kumar)
An 83-year-old grandmother with multiple comorbidities developed aggressive bladder cancer. Rather than subject her to major surgery, Dr. Kumar pioneered an outpatient laser ablation technique combined with local chemotherapy instillations. She celebrated her 85th birthday cancer-free, having never spent a night in the hospital for her treatment. (Patient of Dr. Kumar)
A 52-year-old monk from a remote monastery presented with testicular cancer that had spread to his abdomen. Dr. Kumar respected his patient's spiritual practices by scheduling chemotherapy around meditation periods and performed minimally invasive retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. The monk returned to his monastery cancer-free and established a health awareness program for his community. (Patient of Dr. Kumar)
My 29-year-old brother, a professional gamer, developed kidney stones complicated by an undiagnosed metabolic disorder. Dr. Kumar not only performed advanced laser lithotripsy but also collaborated with nutritionists to create a gaming-friendly hydration and diet plan that prevented recurrence during his marathon streaming sessions. (Patient of Dr. Kumar)
A 67-year-old retired librarian with recurrent prostate cancer after radiation treatment came to Dr. Kumar seeking salvage therapy. He performed a groundbreaking focal HIFU procedure that targeted only the cancerous areas, preserving sexual function and continence that she had been told would be impossible to maintain. (Patient of Dr. Kumar)
Our 11-year-old daughter born with bladder exstrophy had undergone multiple failed reconstructions elsewhere. Dr. Kumar developed a novel bladder neck reconstruction using tissue engineering techniques combined with her own stem cells. She's now continent for the first time in her life and recently went on her first school trip without fear. (Patient of Dr. Kumar)
A 47-year-old deep-sea diver presented with recurrent kidney infections traced to medullary sponge kidney disease. Dr. Kumar created a comprehensive management plan including prophylactic antibiotics timed with diving schedules and minimally invasive procedures to clear obstructing calculi. The diver has returned to commercial diving with zero lost workdays. (Patient of Dr. Kumar)
My 58-year-old mother, a textile artist, was diagnosed with advanced ureteral cancer. Dr. Kumar performed robotic nephroureterectomy but what stood out was how he incorporated her artistic process into recovery - having her visualize the surgical precision as intricate embroidery. She created a textile piece depicting her healing journey that now hangs in his clinic. (Patient of Dr. Kumar)
