I took my father to him after seeing the reviews here on practo. I live abroad and my father has been suffering from diabetes for a long time. The doctor arrived on time, and was spending a lot of time for each patients. However we did not have to wait for too long as his assistant had given us an appointment. I was happy to see that the doctor listened to the problem my father was having, saw his current prescription and blood results. Did not say a single bad thing about the current treatment, although clearly it was failing. he suggested some simple dietary changes after hearing what my father's diet was and suggested some change in medication.
Following these advices, my father's sugar is much better now. Doctor occassionally goes abroad, but I have always managed to keep in touch with him via whatsapp, which is very reassuring.
Overall I am very satisfied with Dr Chakraborty and I would suggest his name to anyone looking for better control of diabetes.
My father who is a pensioner is also very happy that his medication bill has more than halved after seeing him!!

For those who are reading this you should see him if you are a diabetes patient without any delay. I had seen him soon after he returned from UK couple of years back and have since got all my family and friends who are diabetic under his care. For me personally I am on only one medication that costs less than a roadside cup of tea and my sugar is down from 300 to 130. My mother was on insulin and over the last 1 year she has managed to come off it and doing great. Doctor works in England regularly so it may be a bit difficult to get his appointment immediately but he is always available on whatsapp and email for any clarification if one has any problem, even if he is in England.
He is surely not the typical doctor we are used to seeing in Kolkata hence your experience will clearly be very different once you have seen him. *** *** ***** ****** ** ** **** * ***. We take his opinion before any medical treatment now and he always gives the best advice. After seeing him you will know that doctors are not always after our money and there are still some honest doctors around. You just need to be lucky enough ( or intelligent enough) to find them. 7 star from me

I was feeling weak for some time. I was on olmezest h among other medicines. Doctor explained I need to have regular blood tests to check my kidneys if I am on these medicines. However I never had blood test and I was given this medicine 2 years ago and nobody told me anything. The blood test showed a sodium of 122! No wonder I was feeling weak. Doctor dealt with it with utmost professionalism and confidence and changed my medication. He did not ask me to get hospitalised or give me any expensive medicines. I know about this as my father had exactly the same thing last year and my cost of treatment at that time was only 25000 including 4 days stay in nursing home and very expensive medicines.
In 1 week when I repeated the blood tests my reports were much better and I was feeling normal. I had not spent a paisa for any test or medicine. Dr. Chakraborty is THE BEST I have seen and he puts patients interest first. He is very knowledgeable confident and considerate. I hope this review will help someone somewhere.

I and my wife both went to this doctor for the check up after checking his profile from Practo and both of us agree that the Doctor *** ***** ********* *** explains everything properly. He answered every question of ours. His behaviour is also very good and he showed us ppt in his laptop to explain us about our diet, which we found very innovative.
Hope in Future there will be direct appointment booking option in Practo for this doctor which will help us to book the appointments quicker because by phone call booking appointment procedure, on first chance no one picked up the phone and on repeated tries once we were able to talk with the representative then were able to book the appointments.

I would like to thank him for his behaviour. He took his time to listen carefully to my dad. Prior to Dr Anirban I had visited To another Dr but that experienced was just pathetic than I had decided to consult with Dr Anirban and the way he provided suggestions was good. I wil be visiting one more time to produce the latest report of my dad. They came all the way from Assam for treatment. Previous Dr had suggested insulin by looking at the report but Anirban said insulin is not required. One week ago Dad glucose report says 425 now it is reduced to 271.

**** *** * *** ***** **** ** ** *********** *** *** **** ****** ********* ** ******* *** ***** ******** *** *** ********* *** *** ******* ******* ********* Sir is a consultant who still works in England so in essence we the patients in India are lucky to have him here. It's like getting to see a doctor in England in Kolkata! I was surprised how little medication he gives rather he concentrates more on lifestyle changes, very little tips here and there not like you have to go join a gym or something! I was on 7 different medicines sir made it into 2 and after 3 months now I am on one medication. I am a different person now Thanks to Sir.

One of the most pleasant side of Dr Chakraborty is his smile which automatically injects a confidence in you and you start feeling well instantly. He is unique in a way that he listens and explains. This is rare these days. He explains what has happened to you, why you should not worry about it and what you should do to fight it. And who doesn't know when there is knowledge there is no fear and a doctor who does not frighten you want only to cure you and nothing more, you know what I mean . His prescriptions are also simple *** ********* ********** I am a living example. *** ***** **** * *******
Dr. Anirban Chakrabarty recently treated my father who was admitted to the IRIS hospital owing to COPD related severe breathing trouble, lung infection and related health issues. Dr. Chakrabarty came across as a very compassionate, caring, sincere *** ** ****** *********-- traits that are increasingly becoming rare. He also provided thorough feedback about my dad's health condition. His line of treatment is considered world class by his fellow colleagues. Thanks to him, my dad's recovery has been fast and steady. I strongly recommend Dr. Anirban Chakrabarty.

I am under Dr Anirban Chakraborty for the last month. I was taking many medicines but I was no better. He saw me with care and explained to me the problems I was facing and how to manage them at home. He prescribed me a few medicines and I am much better now, gas is less. I can contact him regularly by whatsapp and he regularly answers them. I see him regularly for any problem. Overall I am very satisfied. He is gentle, caring, listens to patients all the time. I reccommend him to anyone reading this.
