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.

Thank you so much for easing my pain and thank you for encouraging me when I was down. You are the perfect combination of responsibility and care. You are not only an extraordinary doctor but also an extraordinary human being. You are the best gift to society and the BEST ENT Doctor in the city. You are my superhero who gifted me another healthy life.I was suffering from chronic sinusitis daily with continuous sneeze, cold, throat ache every now and then and tinnitus issues for the past one year and I had visited many Tier 1 hospitals and seen all reputed ENT HOD Drs from each hospital like Apollo, Narayana Healths, Manipal Hal branch, AIIMs Delhi but I didn't receive any permanent solutions to my sinus problems. And I was checking out all options from everywhere keeping a follow up with you simultaneously. You have suggested surgery after checking out all possible options and finally, I underwent Functional Endoscopic Septum Surgery, Nasal Septum surgery three weeks back at Manipal Sarjapura Road and I am recovering well. You are always available and respond to my messages whenever I message you post surgery for any clarifications or any additional medications. What sets you apart is your detailed knowledge of medical issues, technical knowledge, modern surgical process and to understand patients'needs and being emphatic, treating patients with so much care.The way you treated and took care of me, I never felt like I was seeing a doctor, I always felt like my elder brother was taking care of me.You are a very skilful and most empathetic doctor in Bangalore and I will always recommend you for any ENT related issues. Thank you again Dr. Diptarka for not only restoring my nasal issues but also my overall well being and mental issues caused due to these chronic sinus issues I will always pray to God for your good health and long life.Continue to be a blessing to others through your profession.
