I had a very good experience with my surgery under Dr. Diptarka Bhattacharya.
The treatment and care throughout the process were excellent, and my recovery has been smooth.
Before the surgery, I struggled a lot with snoring and disturbed sleep.
Now, I am able to sleep peacefully without snoring, which has made a huge difference in my daily life.
I feel much healthier, more rested, and comfortable now.
Thank you to Dr. Diptarka Bhattacharya for the successful treatment and support during my recovery.

I am extremely grateful to Dr. Diptarko Bhattacharya for the care and treatment I received. He successfully diagnosed and treated my CSF leak, and the entire experience, from surgery to recovery, was handled with ***** professionalism and confidence.
What really stood out was how supportive and reassuring he was throughout the process. My post-surgery consultations were always smooth, detailed, and helpful, which gave me a lot of confidence during recovery. He also helped treat my vertigo issues, which had been troubling me for quite some time.
A doctor who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about his patients. I truly appreciate everything he has done for me and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for expert and compassionate treatment.

I had cholestatoma mastoid (life threatening disease inside ear) which almost reached my brain wall.
Dr Bhattacharya understood the problem and suggested he can perform surgery endoscopic (without any cut behind ear). I was in a doubt because how this can be treated endoscopic as before coming to Dr Bhattacharya I met with 5 other ENT specialists and nobody told this can be done endoscopic as my situation is very complex and critical . But I trusted Dr Bhattacharya and now after 3 months of surgery I am doing great with good improvent

My child has been suffering from a severe adenoid issue, we visited Dr Bhattacharyya in 2024 for the same, at that time the nasal spray was working and he suggested not to go for surgery till the medicines are responding. This did build a trust that the Dr. is not someone who pushes for surgeries.
Down the line in a year, the breathing problem did not improve very well, giving steroids for long just felt not right to us.
When my child would get cold he would breath from mouth for 2 weeks, he had so many sleepless nights. It was like a nightmare for us, we too could not see our child suffering. so much. We went to many doctors, took suggestions from all and everyone suggested surgery but no one could give us the confidence to go for it. A small 4 year old kid getting anaesthesia and surgery just felt so much of a risk and we as parents/family were scared.
On the other hand we could not handle seeing my child suffer each day. We went to Dr Bhattacharya again, and explained to him our experience. This time Dr Bhattacharya , straight away suggested going for surgery, he spent 30-40 minutes answering each of our questions. We shared with him how scared we are at the same time my child has been suffering for the last 3 years now. Interacting with Dr Bhattacharya we got the confidence to get the adenoidectomy done, we did the CT scan same day and decide to go for it.
Next week we scheduled the surgery, and his coordinator Srabani was also helpful in answering questions and setting things up. Dr Bhattacharya suggested scheduling the surgery early morning like 5 AM, as my kid is small and he needs to be on fasting for a long time, getting it done early morning will make sure he starts eating some food by early afternoon.
The surgery happened on 3rd March early morning, the surgery went well(1+hr), Dr Bhattacharya came before and after the surgery to share words and give us confidence that everything would be much better from now. Surgery ended around 7:30AM, I think it started around 5:30/6AM. Dr Bhattacharya came and told us how the surgery went, and it was the right decision to get the Adenoidectomy done as the tissues were getting inside the ear of my child, this could have started hampering his listening power drastically in coming months.
Following the surgery, we struggled to keep our child calm because he was in shock, unsure of what had happened. Getting so many antibiotics and cannula was just hard. My kid was so supportive he went through so much not just surgery but the adenoid issue for years. We left for home the same day in the night, Dr Bhattacharya also suggested we go unless it's urgent and serious.
At home things were a little better, for 1 week there were a bunch of medicines to be given.
After a long week, relief arrived as my child slept soundly and peacefully, without any snoring. For the first time in three years, he slept through the entire night without waking up due to breathing difficulties.
Since then life has changed like a flip of a coin. My kid does not breathe from mouth, he eats ice cream, he goes swimming, he takes bath everyday, he sleeps like a bear, he does not get sick every 2-3 weeks any more.
For us , life has changed, and we have so much gratitude and respect for Dr Bhattacharya.
Just a request to Dr Bhattacharya, even if you grow so much in life, please have the empathy and patience you have today.
Thank you Dr Bhattacharya and team.

I consulted Dr. Bhattacharyya for a deviated nasal septum (DNS) and recurrent sinus infections. From the outset, he was friendly, approachable, and thorough in his evaluation. An endoscopy was performed initially, followed by a CT scan to assess the condition in detail. The scan revealed multiple issues, and Dr. Bhattacharyya clearly explained the findings along with the available treatment options. After discussing these, I opted for surgical intervention.
Dr. Bhattacharyya’s team was highly supportive throughout the process. They stayed in regular communication and provided clear guidance regarding preoperative tests, hospital admission, and insurance pre-authorization, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience. The surgery was successful, and I was given detailed and easy-to-follow post-operative care instructions.
I had several follow-up visits after the surgery, both for routine check-ups and whenever I had concerns. Each time, Dr. Bhattacharyya patiently explained the healing progress and addressed my questions. It has now been three months since the procedure, and I have not experienced nasal congestion or sinus infections so far.
I highly recommend Dr. Diptarka Bhattacharyya to anyone seeking expert and compassionate care for ENT-related issues.
Visited For Septoplasty
Happy with: Treatment satisfaction
I underwent septoplasty and rhinoplasty under Dr. Diptarka Bhattacharya, and I can confidently say it has been a life-changing experience.Before the surgery, I struggled with long-standing nasal blockage and breathing difficulty that affected my daily life, sleep quality, and overall comfort. From the very first consultation, Dr. Diptarka Bhattacharya explained everything clearly, patiently addressed all my concerns, and set realistic expectations. His confidence and clarity gave me complete trust in the process.The surgery itself went smoothly, and the post-operative care was excellent. Even during the recovery phase—when dryness, crusting, and healing sensations are expected—I always felt reassured because of the proper guidance and follow-ups. Today, my breathing has improved dramatically, my quality of sleep is better, and I feel a noticeable positive change in my overall well-being.This was not just a cosmetic procedure for me; it was a functional transformation that changed my day-to-day life for the better. I truly feel I got my “normal life” back.I am extremely grateful to Dr. Diptarka Bhattacharya for his skill, professionalism, and compassionate approach. I would highly recommend him and the hospital to anyone considering septoplasty or rhinoplasty.Thank you for making such a meaningful difference in my life.

BRIEF
I am having hypertension and diabetes for the last 15 years. About 4 years ago I was diagnosed with OSA(obstructive sleep apnea) after 'sleep test' by a pulmunologist. But my sleep was not sound and the nose used to get blocked after 4 or 5 hours of sleep and then I was forced to remain awake with sleep deficit day after day. This was even after usage of CPAP machine night after night.My workplace is UAE and whenever I visited Bangalore my nose used to get clogged which required me to visit doctor. In fact I was recommended to go for surgery of Deviated Nasal Septum(DNS).
PATHFORWARD
My cardiologist with Burjeel Hospital - Abu Dhabi insisted that I should go for DNS surgery. In fact I was seeing this cardiologist for the first time in August 2023 after my earlier cardiologist with another hospital was out of town.
SEARCH FOR AN ENT SURGEON
I was scheduled for vacation in Bangalore and thought to get the surgery done for OSA. I tried to get hold of a good ENT doctor by seeking help through various social media groups. I browsed through the internet and got to see Dr. Diptarka Bhattacharya's profile.
VISIT TO MANIPAL HOSPITAL AND MEETING DR.DIPTARKA BHATTACHARYA.
With prior appointment I visited Dr. on 31st Oct'2023. Dr. Diptarka heard about my health issues. He then explained me the options available. It was a detailed explanation which is even understandable to any layman. The first thing he asked for was to get the CT scan of nose / skull. Within an hour of CT scan report and its analysis the surgery date was fixed on 2nd Nov.2023.
The surgery was successful and I got discharged on 3rd Nov.2023 and on 9th Nov.'2023 splints were removed.
ABOUT DR. DIPTARKA BHATTACHARYA
My interactions with the Dr. prior and post surgery has given me the impression that he is a thorough professional. I zeroed on Dr.Diptarka just by going through his profile when I was on the look out for a qualified and experienced doctor. Literally, I fished out Dr. Diptarka from my internet search. I am glad that my choice of doctor tuned out to be so excellent.
Dr.Diptarka knows his craft well enough. He patiently explains the protocol he would execute during the course of treatment. More importantly he is open to queries from the patient to clear any iota of doubt. His amicable behaviour and body language puts the patient at ease and gives the assurance of a successful treatment.
THANKS TO DR. DIPTARKA BHATTACHARYA AND HIS TEAM
Post surgery I am recuperating and getting sound sleep and this is indeed a gift for me for which I can't thank enough the Dr. and his team consisting of nurses and other doctors.
I must further mention that the support staff at reception ,billing, insurance, pharmacy, security, nursing station , janitors were extremely courteous and ever ready to help me out.
Once again thanks a lot Dr. and wish you all the best in your professional career.

My 5yo son had been suffering with frequent infections, snoring, obstructive and paused breathing during his sleep for the past 1yr.We tried multiple therapies (steroid spray, homeopathy, etc) over an year, but nothing helped, infact it all worsened in 2023. We eventually decided to take necessary actions to help our son and met Dr. Diptarka Bhattacharya after weeks of online research for best doctors, reading through their patient reviews and evaluation, as surgery was necessary in my son's case and he was too young for it. We were pretty scared as it was the first surgery in the family.Based on Dr Diptarka suggestion, a CT scan was done and doctor said my son needs Tonsilectomy, Adenoidectomy and a minimal Sinus surgery.We were apprehensive particularly about the Sinus surgery due to the age of my son and the risks involved. But the Dr convinced us that it was absolutely necessary for a complete and long lasting recovery of my son and assured that it is the right and necessary thing to do.We trusted Dr Diptarka and went ahead with the planned surgery on Mar-25-2023. Due to the Sinus surgery, the recovery period was of about 3-4weeks. We started seeing the improvement in my son's sleep by around 2nd week. It's been over a month now after the surgery, and I must say my son is doing great now. He's much happier now, sleeps normally, no snoring or disturbed sleep, his mood has greatly improved and has also put on 4kgs of weight since surgery (he had lost weight due to frequent infections in the past).We are glad that we met Dr. Diptarka and trusted him with our son health.I must say Dr. Diptarka has the highest level of patience. We being parents, had all sorts of questions before and after the surgery and each discussion lasted atleast a good 30-40mins. Never ever the doctor seemed to be in hurry or impatient. This quality is very rare among doctors these days. Another most important quality of Dr. Diptarka is his friendliness (very important for pediatric cases as kids are usually not cooperative). My son was always happy to meet him and would also discuss all sorts of kids topics with him during the consultation.The doctor also always responds to questions when reached on WhatsApp.We highly recommend Dr Diptarka Bhattacharya and his team (Dr. Anushree) for any kind of ENT issues, especially for the pediatric ENT cases. The doctor is no doubt highly qualified, very knowledgeable, confident and super intelligent.One can blindly trust Dr Diptarka.Thanks again Dr for everything you did for my son Aydin. No words are sufficient to express our gratitude to you. May God bless you!!
Visited For Throat and Voice Problems

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
