I visited DR.Poornachandra K.S last month. i was suffering from h.pyloria infection from the last 3.5 months but all the doctors in Kolkata said it was GERD. i was under medication for GERD but since i was not recovering i decided to consult Dr. Poornacandra and after visiting him i got to know that i was not suffering from GERD. he patiently read all my previous records n test reports a . after listening to all that i had to say he suggested that i should undergo a diagnostic endoscopy which was required in my case , and it went quite well. i was initially scared, but later on managed it. the endoscopy report showed that i was suffering from h pyloria infection. the Dr. gave me medicines for a month n now am perfectly fine. before i couldnt eat anything, not even home cooked meal but just after a week of taking the medicines prescribed by Dr. Poornachandra i recovered. i had an amazing experience with him. he is highly recommended by me to any one who seeks a gastroentrologist . am overtly satisfied with his teatment procedure. no unnecessary tests or medicines, only those that are required and necesssary for diagnosis. i give Dr. Poornachandra a big thumbs up!!!!!
I had consulted Dr Poornachandra KS when I had food-poisoning. He took time to listen to all my problems. He had enquired how my food habits were for few days. Hearing to my issue he gave a clue of food-poisoning.
However, I have a suggestion for Dr Poornachandra KS. I was asked where the pain is. I, like any patient, said 'Stomach'. In response, the doctor said that is a very general answer. He was expecting more precise, I guess, like upper stomach or lower stomach something like that. Dr Poornachandra, you can help the patient a little better to get the answer you need. Franky speaking I do not understand the difference between upper and lower stomach pain. I believe, this was just one case and can improve on this.
Having said all that, Dr Poornachandra KS is a really good doctor and indeed solved my food-poisoning in a weeks time. His fixed using some medications and major change in diet. I was getting very tired during my food-poisoning episode. Post the medication and diet I was perfect the next day onwards. He is very professional and happy to get his appointment.

Doctor had time to listen to my problem.
And understand beyond the symptoms, that might involve the mental state,food habit and over the counter medication.
Chronic conditions require some more digging beyond the diagnostic reports. I was struggling to find any gastroenterologist who would spare that much of time anf patience to listen to the comolians in detail.
Dr Poorna Chandra was fully invested on my issues. And I would have a follow up sync up soon. It gives some motivation and courage to deal with some chronic conditions that I alone am unable to understand or manage.
It could be some serious, the underlying problem can be something bigger but atleast having a medical expertise helps to calm me down and feel less helpless. I am quite tired of the endoscopy, antibiotics therapy, and ppi tablets for last 10 years. But no gastroenterologist give enough time to listen to the history or suggest some particular exercise in general. I am happy to meet doctor Poornachandra.
I see some hope.
Visited For Crohn's Disease
Happy with: Explanation of the health issueDoctor friendlinessValue for moneyWait time
I have been visiting Dr. Poornachandra since 1 year, Recently I have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease(IBD). I have suffered a lot from Chronic stomach ache, blood in stools and loose stools. Finally I have got to know that It is Crohn's disease after my colonoscopy , under medication from last two months , Now Symptoms are Mild, I can feel that My body is healing with Immunomodulators and mesalazine and other supplements. As disease is a chronic condition and it doesn't have any cure, Doctor have made me understand the total treatment procedure and lifestyle modification needs to be done on this. When I lost all hope , he gave that one word "HOPE" I will be fine completely someday. As he said "Medicine Lo Mast Raho". I was loosing weight also almost 13 kgs I have lost, Now again I have gained 2 KGs and its a Good improvements . It takes time to heal and with time it will heal , and will be under control , thats what he made me believe in. I have been referred to him 1 year back by my GP Dr. Dinesh Thakrar When My symptoms were at its pick , though it took a long to diagnose the IBD , still It's worth. As Dr. Poornachandra knows How to make his patients smile. :) thank you doctor .
