Patient Experience
During my third trimester of pregnancy, a routine ultrasound revealed breast cancer. Dr. Choudhary assembled a multidisciplinary team including obstetricians and neonatologists to time my surgery perfectly between fetal viability and delivery, allowing me to safely continue my pregnancy while receiving life-saving treatment. (Patient of Dr. Choudhary)
As a professional cellist, the prospect of lymph node removal threatened my career. Dr. Choudhary utilized cutting-edge nerve-sparing techniques and collaborated with a physical therapist specializing in musicians' rehabilitation. I'm now back performing with the symphony, bow arm completely intact. (Patient of Dr. Choudhary)
My husband's male breast cancer diagnosis shocked us all. Dr. Choudhary's expertise in this rare presentation was invaluable. She connected us with support groups specifically for male patients and addressed the unique psychological aspects of his journey with remarkable insight. (Patient of Dr. Choudhary)
After surviving a house fire that caused radiation burns to my chest, developing cancer in the damaged tissue created surgical complexities. Dr. Choudhary worked with burn specialists and plastic surgeons to navigate the compromised skin, achieving complete resection despite the challenging circumstances. (Patient of Dr. Choudhary)
As a Jain nun following strict ahimsa principles, I was conflicted about cancer treatment. Dr. Choudhary respected my beliefs while explaining medical necessity, modifying pain management protocols to avoid animal-derived products and scheduling surgery around important religious observances. (Patient of Dr. Choudhary)
My 45-year-old wife's cancer was discovered during fertility preservation consultations. Dr. Choudhary coordinated emergency egg retrieval before starting treatment and preserved her ovarian function during chemotherapy. We now have frozen embryos and hope for future pregnancy post-recovery. (Patient of Dr. Choudhary)
Diagnosed with breast cancer while serving as a UN peacekeeper in conflict zones, my case required rapid, definitive treatment. Dr. Choudhary developed an accelerated protocol that allowed me to return to duty in record time without compromising oncological safety. (Patient of Dr. Choudhary)
My grandmother, a 89-year-old Holocaust survivor with dementia, required special handling. Dr. Choudhary studied her trauma history to avoid triggering events during care, used Yiddish terms she understood, and involved our family in every decision respecting her complex life story. (Patient of Dr. Choudhary)
As a bilateral breast cancer patient with silicone implants from 20 years ago, my reconstruction options were limited. Dr. Choudhary pioneered a custom flap procedure using abdominal tissue that addressed both cancer removal and created natural-looking results despite previous surgeries. (Patient of Dr. Choudhary)
When my cancer recurred after failed treatment abroad, I sought Dr. Choudhary for salvage surgery. Her innovative approach using intraoperative radiotherapy directly to the tumor bed achieved what three previous surgeons couldn't - lasting local control and renewed hope. (Patient of Dr. Choudhary)
My 82-year-old father had a severe liver blockage and was turned away by two hospitals. Dr. Partha Pratim Samui not only accepted his case but performed an angioplasty using a minimally invasive technique that required only a tiny incision. He explained the risks in Bengali so my father could understand, and visited him three times daily post-procedure. Dad is now gardening again—miracles do happen.
As a new mom, I panicked when my 6-month-old son was diagnosed with a vascular malformation. Dr. Samui used ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy, calming my fears by showing me the screen during the procedure. His team even arranged a teddy bear with a 'bandage' to demonstrate what would happen. My son didn’t cry once, and the lesion faded in weeks. (Patient of Dr. Pratim)
Rushed to Manipal after a bike accident, I had internal bleeding in my spleen. Dr. Samui conducted an emergency embolization at 2 AM, saving me from surgery. What stood out was how he remembered my name despite the chaos, and later followed up to ensure I wasn’t just physically healing, but coping with the trauma too. (Patient of Dr. Pratim)
I went for a routine varicose vein treatment expecting a quick fix. Dr. Samui spotted early signs of DVT during the Doppler scan—something others had missed for years. He redesigned my treatment on the spot, combining radiofrequency ablation with compression therapy. My legs haven’t felt this light since my 20s. (Patient of Dr. Pratim)
After a failed biopsy elsewhere left me with complications, Dr. Samui performed a CT-guided lung nodule biopsy with breathtaking precision. He played soft instrumental music during the procedure and used humor to keep me relaxed. The biopsy was accurate, and my recovery was swift—no more sleepless nights. (Patient of Dr. Pratim)
My teenage daughter needed an embolization for a uterine fibroid, and Dr. Samui involved her in every decision, drawing diagrams to explain how it would preserve her fertility. He treated her like an adult, not just a patient. She left feeling empowered, not scared. (Patient of Dr. Pratim)
During a complex pancreatic pseudocyst drainage, Dr. Samui encountered unexpected adhesions. Instead of rushing, he paused, recalibrated the approach using real-time imaging, and successfully drained 500ml of fluid. His humility in discussing the challenges afterward made me trust him even more. (Patient of Dr. Pratim)
I traveled from Bangladesh for a second opinion on my carotid artery stenosis. Dr. Samui reviewed my scans, arranged a teleconsult with my family abroad, and customized a stent placement plan that accounted for my travel limitations. His coordination with the international team was flawless. (Patient of Dr. Pratim)
For my follow-up after a kidney stone removal, Dr. Samui noticed I’d missed my medication refills. Instead of scolding, he connected me with a pharmacy delivery service and sent reminders via WhatsApp. It’s this kindness that makes him more than a doctor—he’s a guardian. (Patient of Dr. Pratim)
My husband’s dialysis access graft was failing repeatedly. Dr. Samui performed a fistulogram and found a hidden stenosis, then used drug-coated balloon angioplasty. Nine months later, the graft is still functioning perfectly. He didn’t just fix the problem—he solved it for good. (Patient of Dr. Pratim)
