Medicover Hospitals

I was suffering from throat irritation for last 6 months. Initially I went to my nearest ENT specialist at Hyderabad. He checked with rigid scope and shaw one white patch near to epiglottis, which he could not identify properly with his instrument because limitation of his instrument. So he has referred me to one of the big cancer hospital in Hyderabad city suspecting something wrong near to neck and throat. Accordingly, I went to this super speciality hospital to consult chief ENT specialist and oncologist. He has used his flexible scope to check through my nose and found one white spot in backside of my epiglottis. The spot is in very difficult location to reach out with normal instrument. So, he has suggested me to go for robotics for taking out the sample from the throat for biopsy. And if it is confirmed by rapid test, he will do neck dissection with same general anaesthesia and he will remove all my neck glands according to cancer norms. I went alone to doctor and after hearing all this big procedure I got afraid. And he has confirmed 80% by seeing only that I got cancer cell inside throat. It is a risky and costly also. Next day I have discussed with my friends. They have suggested me to go for 3rd opinion with Dr. Sampurna Ghose. I heard that she is very efficient and experienced as neck and spine surgeon. I took appointment and went to her. Explained her all the history. She has checked with her flexible scope and told me that yes, there is a small flash type thing, which is quite inside. To get sample for biopsy she has to do general anaesthesia and get the sample. But she was telling it may not be the cancer. But to confirm that better to do the test. According to her advice I got admitted and got it tested. I was lucky that biopsy test result confirming that I am alright, there is no cancer cells in that. She had reconfirmed with another test with same sample. That has also favoured me. She has diagnosed that my problem of throat irritation is due to acid reflux for long time. So, she has prescribed me few medicines. Now I am absolutely fine from my illness and mental agony I have suffered for last few months due to previous doctor advice. I am very much tankful to her and her team for their cordial behaviour and cooperation. Mr. Faruk, secretory to Dr. Sampurna Ghose also very helpful. He has given me lot of moral support. I would like to give special thanks to Dr. Sampurna Ghose to talk to my wife after the procedure and gave her full moral support and always positive attitude towards patient and patient family. Wish her all the best from bottom of my heart and from my family.

Before starting review - I can only say heartful thanks to Dr.Sampurna Ghosh and appreciate her commitment in curing my mother. "Amphotericin B being one of the Life Saving drugs --- Dr. Sampurna Ghosh being Life Saving doctor"

It might look a very long review or story but our family had to go through all this in our lives.

My mother got infected with Rhino Orbital Cerebral Mucormycosis (i.e Black Fungus). We had to admit her due to O2 requirement during the COVID-19 quarantine period at a different hospital(not Medicover). Post COVID she was suffering from headache for 3 days. We initially took her to same hospital but no result and were given medication to make blood sugar values normal. Later, I took her to General Physician and explained symptoms and then we were told it looks like Black fungus better consult ENT. We initially went to Yashoda, as it was nearer hospital and got diagnosed. Got confirmation that my mother is infected due to black fungus and right eye pain also started. They said emergency surgery required and Amphotericin-B injections.

I was very sad and upset because, I wasn't close enough to look after her while she got admitted in hospital for COVID treatment, because at the same time I was admitted in same hospital in ICU due to Oxygen requirement & COVID treatment and my father got just discharged on the same day when me & my mother were admitted. When I checked all the reports and medication, got to know due to Steroids and my mother being diabetic her FBS and PLBS level were >500 almost every day, and I got to know she wasn't treated with Insulin.

Then I and my father spoke to our relatives etc and got reference of Dr. Sampurna Ghosh. On May 15 we approached her via whatsapp. She was courteous enough to respond and understand the problem. She did what all help can be done from speaking to hospital management for a room, investigations before she come next day, surgery plan etc

While I just got discharged I had to go every corner in the city for purchasing Amphotericin B injections as the drug was in scarcity and hospital team informed to arrange ourselves. We started giving injections from May 16 and as per MRI doctor explained the fungus spread all over right side cheek, near eye orbital, until neck. On May 17 Surgery completed successfully. Got discharged on May 22 while continuing amphotericin B. However again right side cheek started paining, swelling and when we visited on May 25, was diagnosed and informed my mother should be re-admitted for 2nd surgery. We have admitted and this time due to inflammation and mouth got almost closed. After investigations and MRI, May 27 2nd surgery completed successfully. However, because of this 2nd surgery my mother lost taste as few nerves got damaged and removed. Got discharged on June 3. Amphotericin B injection course for 14 days completed. We were told to start using Posaconazole Syrup.

After few days(in July) again my mother started having headache. We visited doctor, repeated MRI, took opinion of Infectious disease specialist as well. However, got to know some sort of spreading towards meningeal area(brain etc). We had to start Amphotericin Injections again for 14 days. This time we arranged the treatment at home but it was very difficult my mother had uncontrollable chills, vomiting, pain, agony etc, also we shifted to Posaconazole tablets from syrup. Finally the headache got reduced after the course and repeat MRI looked normal.

In Aug we went again for checkup and doctor found necrosis bone in skull base and she said sometimes it could recover or completely get melted or to be drilled out via surgery. Unfortunately my mother had to take 3rd option only because it either not recovered or melted. This time we admitted her for 3rd surgery, but my mother wasn't having previous symptoms like headache or eye pain etc. But this necrosis bone should be removed as it is completely damaged due to fungus. Since CRP was still on high side (>30) where initially after 1st surgery CRP went upto ~370, we had to administer Amphotericin B injections again for 15 days. Doctor explained it is critical surgery, need to involve neuro surgeon as well as the necrosis bone is just beside pituitary glands etc. Finally, the 3rd surgery got completed successfully.

Got discharged, continued Posaconazole tablets till Nov. Slowly the CRP came done, still on date it is ~10, which should eventually get reduced. Mother is asymptomatic and slowly she is involving in household activities. From no hope to this date and recovery, I have seen a different phase and went through different journey in my life. Hope my mother becomes normal and be active as earlier. I seriously pray that no one else should go through this.

All through this time, I'm thankful to other doctors in Medicover (General physician: Jagadeesh K - for Sugar levels , Nephrologist: Arun - for Creatinine to become normal as it will increase due to Amphotericin B, NeuroSurgeon: Srikanth Reddy) and I salute to Dr. Sampurna commitment, followups to check patient condition via whatsapp, swift response via whatsapp and availability. I should also thank my other family who helped me financially, emotionally. Thanks for taking care of my mother and giving her back to our family and myself.

Trust & Believe the doctor - You will get cured and get our lives saved until we have doctors like Dr.Sampurna Ghosh

I live in Abroad. I had a nasal congestion that was mitigated 10 long year back which was now been severe and can’t able to get out of the pickle. I have gone through some few doctors which they didn’t even spend at-least 5 mins of time to understand my situation. I have gone through things and in one my family friend who suggested me to try to go with sampurna which she specialised in ease of doing surgery. I almost spent 15 mins of time as she was very friendly and making me comfortable and giving me a proper advice on how and what to do to with my current situation. She was absolute phenomenal in doing the surgery, it was a painless surgery that I have never went through some one who is promising that at the start and keeping the same is tremendous… I loved the way she handled the pain management for me and never thought I had a surgery. Thanks Sampurna it was the best advise and best fixing of my long term issue… I don’t know who believes in reviews but if you visit her and definitely you gonna feel the same. She is master in doing painless surgery.😁

Sampoorna Mam is nothing less than an angel in disguise. I got my mother treated under her. My mother had infection in mastoid bone as well as hole in eardrum. Her problem of vertigo and hearing loss was correctly diagnosed by mam (as against my previous experiences in my hometown). She is so kind and compassionate apart from being knowledgeable and having good expertise on her job. One thing that made her stand out from the rest of the doctors for me was, she did not hesitate to send me for second opinion herself when she felt she also needs another view. I havent seen doctors doing this out of fear of losing the patient. This made me respect her even more. She takes care of the patient just like her own family. Not only ensures the medical well being but also the emotional support, help in navigating throught the hospital processes etc. After my mom’s treatment I can say any ENT related issues, she is the only one I can trust for me or my family. God bless you mam. May you keep serving the humanity and succeeding like this. Thanks for all your care.

I met Dr Raghu Kanth during my mother Covid-19 treatment at MediCover Hospital. Considering her current medical history of Pemphigus Vulgaris she is being high risk patient with lung infection and he never stepped back from treating her. Before coming to Dr Raghu Kanth I have been few hospital and consulted quite few doctors and most of denied admission due to shortage of Ventilator support in current situation. I still remember I spoke to him at night 11:30pm on April 23rd after having an unsuccessful attempt to admit my mother in hospital. His words still buzz in my ears when I asked him about the Ventilator support. He said "who asked you that patient need Ventilator? With out assessing a patient one can't make out the treatment" his words are motivating in the distressed hours. I have admitted my mother in Medicover under his supervision and honestly she never required an Ventilator support. He is being genuinely humble and goto person. I have seen him working long hours and stressed out. But his dedication to treat people with utmost priority is commendable.

So today I received my sleep study report with mild Obstructive Sleep Apnea in REM (AHI: 11.0) and no snoring which was moderate REM(AHI: 37.3) with moderate snoring before I underwent OSA surgery by Dr. Sampurna Ghosh.

For the past couple of years, I used to feel obstruction in breathing during some physical activity and sometimes during sleep but did not know what kind of treatment I will need. That’s when after reading reviews on Practo I reached out to Dr. Ghosh. She was very detailed and patient in explaining the diagnosis and prescribed a nasal CT scan and sleep study test. With my sleep study report I came to know my condition has transformed to OSA. Dr. suggested Septoplasty, Turbinoplasy and few other surgical procedures for my throat.

Best part is Dr. Ghosh plans everything well advanced and in detail. Before surgery she explained to me my condition, what will happen if I don’t get it treated and how she will plan to treat it. She even put my diagnosis in such a way that I get maximum benefit out of my Insurance and to her words everything went as planned.

My family members have stopped complaining about my snoring now and I am happy I got it treated before it could further impact my lifestyle, All thanks to Dr. Sampurna Ghosh.

My mother was diagnosed with Mucor mycosis (Black Fungus). Our family was just recovering from COVID and mother’s diagnosis came as big shock to us. Dr.Sampurna diagnosed the condition with in a short time and did the surgery immediately. She kept a close eye on the progress and did the follow up process very diligently. She was very lucid with her explanation and ensured that we understood what was happening and what the next steps are. She didn’t prescribe unnecessary mediation, didn’t burden us with unrequired tests. She was quick to respond to my mother’s needs, once when my mom was not able to take the medication, she personally sat next to my mother comforted her as her own family member. Dr.Sampurna was able to treat my mother both physically and mentally back to full health. She is a constant pillar of support on our side and helped us with the long recovery process.

She is a very good doctor and to top it, she sure is a very compassionate and excellent human.

All the best Madam and THANK YOU for everything.
