I have received medical care in 5 countries, 2 of them very developed countries, and seldom do I meet, if ever, a doctor as efficient as Dr. Geetalima Dutta.
We came from Nepal, a little nervous and overwhelmed. However, through a family connection we got to meet Dr. Dutta, and she immediately put our minds at ease. From her initial interactions, it was very obvious that we were in safe hands. Our relatives, who had also brought their son for a minor throat infection, felt the exact same way about her.
She possesses every quality a top class medical professional is expected to:
EXPERTISE: Dr. Dutta was very knowledgeable and great at what she did. Within a minute of hearing our history, she had a solid preliminary idea of what was troubling our son. Further investigations and the x-ray confirmed her predictions. For many months, multiple symptoms he was showing were all connected to one central problem, and even though he was to go through a surgery, we were really glad he was finally diagnosed properly and would now get his normal life back. The ENTs in Nepal had failed to connect the dots properly.
PROFESSIONALISM: Dr. Geetalima Dutta was courteous and classy. She showed strong work ethics and high standards, and can be 100% relied on. Even after seeing 10 patients or after a surgery, she will talk to you like this is her first minute at work. That shows her dedication towards her work, and her commitment to putting patients’ needs first.
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE: Especially in developing countries, I have encountered doctors that have impressive resumes but do not know how to talk to patients, even at so called "popular" hospitals. I have recently written a 3-page letter to the CEO of a big hospital about this. Thankfully, Dr. Dutta was nowhere close to them. She makes people comfortable immediately so they can be open about their feelings. That is a win-win since it will help her diagnose the patients better. Her courtesy and the manner in which she talks to children is exemplary, something I wish other medical professionals emulated.
CARING NATURE: A doctor's job is inherently a very sensitive one. No matter how good you are at your work, you are not able to excel without a truly “good heart”. It was obvious that Dr. Dutta has a heart of gold. She went above and beyond to help us out in every way. She handled our son like one of her own nephews and was always trying to cheer him up.
She even helped us connect with other specialists, whom she knew very well, and upon checking, they all had glowing reviews on the internet.
For cherry on the top, she was a great communicator and kept checking with us throughout the treatment process. Even after we had come back to Nepal, she stayed in touch and regularly asked how our son was. Thanks to her, he is living a normal life and is healthy again.
We couldn’t have found a better ENT for our son. I may visit Gurgaon again in a month or two and see her for my own ENT issues. I will strongly recommend her to my friends and family and to anyone seeking quality ENT care.Read less
