couple of months back we visited Dr. DIPTARKA in Apollo Sarjapur clinic. seeking treatment for my wife’s hoarse voice. I am very impressed with Drs. knowledge, friendliness and his great listening skills. initially he thought it is due to some throat infection and gave medicines for a week. when there is no improvement, he immediately used camera and noticed a RIGHT VOCAL CHORD LESION. we were panic and worried what it could be. this is where great dr. in DIPTARKA came out and he made us not to worry about it and he was in constant touch with us thru whatsapp though he is on vacation after long time. He came back and I met him immediately and again I have seen the great qualities of a great dr. He spent more than 30 mins just to explain what the issue is and when I was apologetic for asking too many questions, he said ‘ Your wife is like my family member. I will explain and answer all your questions in the same way I will explain it to my family member’ I was speechless for his humbleness and treating his patients as his family members. I was very much relieved after hearing him and with no hesitation agreed to go for a surgery to remove the Lesion. I never had a thought of going for a second opinion after he explained me the problem.

He gave me all possible options for the hospitals where we can go for the surgery and finally we choose to go with Apollo Spectra in Koramangala. Dr. really helped us by assigning one coordinator to work with us on the Insurance part. Finally we admitted her after all the pre investigations and Dr. came to us again before the surgery and explained all the details and made us comfortable. He completed the surgery in an hour or so and immediately shared the happy news of successful surgery. He came out with happy face and explained how he performed the surgery. He made us not to stay in hospital more days and asked us to revisit in a weeks time. In all these days he was in continuous touch with me asking about the changes. We revisited him after 10 days and he noticed the surgery part is healing well. he also explained us about the Biopsy report and next steps. He suggested us to go for Voice therapy sessions and connected us to the right Voice Therapist. Right now, my wife is going thru voice therapy sessions and we are hoping she will talk to us loud and clear voice.

I am very thankful to Dr. Diptarka for his kindness , listening skills, detailed explanation, calm mind, helping and many qualities of a great dr. should have. Thank you very much Dr. and we owe you a lot

In the month of May 2022, I felt some pain in the abdomen. So consulted you at Apollo Spectra hospital. You explained and conducted all the necessary Tests and prescribed Surgery for Hernia (Both LH and RH). Pre-operation tests were done and operation date fixed for Tuesday 21st June. We all, (my Co volunteer Ramaswamy, his friend and my cousin brother Nirmal) came and met you on the previous day i.e. 20th June.

You explained nicely the procedure to be done for the Laparoscopic surgery, like small holes, then inserting the mesh by special tools etc. Also, in case a problem arises, then you will adopt the open surgery. You also talked about the Risk factor, if at all it is there, it is the age, As, such nothing was foreseen. All the other doubts, you clarified. You explained clearly in a soft tone, politely. It gave me assurance & lot of mental strength. Post surgery, your regular follow up like, you personally did the dressing, Removal of stitches, and good Nursing Services, helped me recover fast.

My heartfelt thanks to you Doctor, your entire team, Nursing staff and others. Also, I am highly grateful to Smt. Vasuki. Right from the day one she arranged our appointments, coordinated with other personnel like Anesthetist, Physician and other departments necessary to get the fitness for Surgery. Post operation she did all the Discharge formalities, and Processing of Insurance papers precisely and speedily. Thank you Vasuki. Lord bless.

Sir, I pray Lord to bless you and your family a healthy, happy Life.

We are happy that Surgery was successfully done with your deft hands. As he has said, your explanation put the patient and all of us at ease. You belong to a category of good Doctors and also good human beings. Lord bless you and your family a happy healthy life.

I retired as Design engineer in Aeronautics from HAL in 1997. Since then, I am serving in Kidwai, Nimhans, Ramiah and Baptist Hospitals as Volunteer/ Counsellor from Banjara Academy (All the services are free).

It gives me immense joy to describe my time with Dr. Bhattacharya. I had visited him in March-2022 for a CSF Leak which I suffered due to a sports injury. He diagnosed me during our first consultation and noticing the severity of the problem, recommended that I have a surgery at the earliest. Recent research papers on the topic of CSF Leak recommend the same course of treatment, given the relatively low-risk nature of the procedure. What gave me added confidence was Dr. Bhattacharya’s optimistic nature, and stellar academic background. He took more than ample time to adequately answer all my questions, weigh the pros and cons of his decisions, and gave me individual attention.

Post having the MRI and CT scans done, it was evident that I had a 2mm internal fracture which was causing the leak. More than the operation itself, the 4-6 weeks post-operation are very critical for full recovery. But what I appreciated through the course of the operation was that he gave regular updates to my partner and mother. You can never have too much of knowledge. I underwent 2 days of observation after the procedure. During this time too, Dr. Bhattacharya was very patient in explaining the next steps, precautionary steps, and disabusing me of my anxieties. His team was also very helpful and polite.

I went to him thrice after that, to ensure I was on the proper highway to recovery. No surprises, I am. I feel great too. During these visits, he was as friendly as before. I guess it goes without saying, that I give my highest recommendation to Dr. Bhattacharya. He was professional, accessible, courteous, and I wouldn’t think twice in getting another surgery done from him :-)
