Dr. Amitabha Ghosh

No words of gratitude can ever be enough to thank Dr. Amitabha Ghosh. I truly consider myself blessed to have had such a compassionate and skilled doctor for my gallbladder surgery.

Like most people, I had a lot of fear and anxiety before the operation — it's natural when facing surgery. But from the moment I met Dr. Ghosh, that vanished almost. He spoke to me with such calm and empathy that he absorbed all my anxiety. ** **** ****** ******** * **** * *** ** **** ****** *** **** **** ***** *** * *** ********* It was only because of his compassionate presence and confidence that I was able to go through the procedure without stress.

Thanks to Dr. Ghosh and his entire team, my operation and post-operative journey went smoothly. What once caused me anxiety has now left me feeling incredibly grateful — not just for the successful surgery, but for the realization of how fortunate I was to have such a doctor by my side.

Compassion like Dr. Ghosh’s is rare. He sets an example that many in the medical field can learn from — not just in skill, but in how to truly be there for a patient dealing with health-related fears.

I’m now almost back to work and recovering well. If you or your loved one ever needs gallbladder surgery, or any surgery under Dr. Ghosh’s domain, just close your eyes, walk into his chamber* ****** ** ** *** **** ******

Forever grateful.

Where empathy meets precision!

I met Dr. Amitabha Ghosh with reference from an office colleague and a very close friend. Before meeting Dr. Ghosh I was skeptical about doing any procedure at AMRI Dhakuria (Now Manipal Dhakuria) because of my past experience. But it took me only one meeting to build that confidence in him. His words and confidence acted like magic on me. He said, “you don worry, I ll take care of you, that’s my job”. It was a calming assurance from a doctor of his stature. He dint make me fear, no anxiety, no urgency, nothing. He gave me the exact picture. *** **** *********** **** **** ** ** *** *********** ******

My PAC was done the same day as my tests results were ready. And I came home peacefully completing all formalities in one day. And for people who work in corporates, will understand, you understand the intent and integrity of a person when he/she speaks highly of his colleague. Dr. Ghosh did speak very highly about my PAC doctor as well and I indeed liked her too.

But as many of you might be wondering, a lot of promises do come from docs before a procedure is done. My laparoscopic gallbladder surgery was done on 9th June 2025. I cud go to washroom on my own from 9th June night itself at hospital. Doctor visited multiple times and ensured that I was given the required water from time to time as I was feeling too thirsty. On 10th, he visited again in the morning, chatted up with me and made me walk in corridor as well as stairs to understand my ease. He even discussed my meds with me and he listened (not just heard) to me when I mentioned I dint want a particular brand of medication and wanted an alternative if possible. I got released and came home peacefully on 10th June.

But my surprise dint end here. I woke up the next day ( 11th June) with a call from Dr. Ghosh. He called himself and not through any assistant or hospital. He called to find out if I was ok and if I had passed stool and having meds etc and if I needed any help. I was pleasantly surprised. In my 44 years of life and numerous hospital visits for my parents, relatives and myself, I had never ever experienced this. This personal touch made me realise once again that I made the right decision by going ahead with Dr. Amitabha Ghosh. *** **** ** ** * ***** *******, he is very very empathetic and he touches every life he comes across positively. I m blessed that I trusted him and let him operate on me.

In the next 14 days of my journey, before I met him again, I have reached out to him multiple times with my queries on various things (even silly ones) and he has always responded. **** **** * **** ***** * *** ******* ** ***** I ll visit him without without a single moment of doubt.

* ****** **** ******* *** **** ** *** ** ** ***** **** ***** **** *** ***** **** ** *** ** *** ******** ***** ************ I wish we have more humane doctors like Dr. Amitabha Ghosh in Kolkata. ***

**A Life-Changing Experience with Dr. Amitabha Ghosh**

After a frustrating one and half month search through Kolkata's medical landscape for the right surgeon to repair my inguinal hernia, I finally found the doctor I had been desperately seeking—Dr. Amitabha Ghosh.

My previous experiences had been deeply disappointing. The first surgeon was dismissive, unilaterally deciding on robotic surgery without my consent. The second surgeon from MR Bangur Super Specialty Hospital (who also practices at RSV and Belle Vue) left me confused and anxious—unable to diagnose my condition clearly, he insisted I repeat all scans and consult a leading urologist(which I did), ultimately recommending open surgery at a private facility while shockingly requesting payment in black money despite my Mediclaim coverage.

Exhausted and disillusioned, I turned to online research and discovered Dr. Ghosh. From our very first interaction, his warm, transparent approach stood in stark contrast to my previous experiences. After a thorough clinical examination and careful review of my scans, he patiently explained that he would choose between laparoscopic or open surgery based on what my condition demanded—not what was most profitable.

What moved me most was his heartfelt assurance: "Don't worry. I would operate on you exactly as I would my own brother." This wasn't just medical professionalism; it was genuine human compassion.

The day of surgery—July 10th—Dr. Ghosh called me the night before to ease my anxieties, and his calming presence continued right up to the operating table. Even as I drifted into unconsciousness, his reassuring demeanor remained constant. The moment I regained consciousness, he was there with the wonderful news that the surgery had been entirely successful.

But his care extended far beyond the operating room. Dr. Ghosh maintained close communication with my family throughout my recovery, made round the clock visits to check on my progress, and most remarkably, called every morning to monitor my healing process even after my discharge.

Today, I am completely recovered thanks to his exceptional skill and unwavering dedication. *** ***** ********** *** **** **** ** ******* ****************** *********** ********* **** ******* ***** ******** I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone seeking not just a skilled surgeon, but a true healing partner.

I had my gall bladder surgery at Manipal Hospital, kolkata under Dr. Amitabha Ghosh* *** ** *** ***** *** **** ******** ***** My surgery was on 13.08.25, and to my surprise, I was able to walk to the washroom the very same night.

I am a very sensitive person, but Dr. Ghosh treated me with such patience, care, and understanding that I felt completely at ease. He listened to every concern of mine and explained everything so well. His entire team was equally supportive and caring.

I highly, highly recommend Dr. Amitabha Ghosh. Please go to him without a second thought* ** ** ***** *** **** ****** * **** **** ****

Ever since I was diagnosed with multiple stones in gallbladder, we were in search of a good surgeon who can relieve us from our concerns over how to go about the cholelithiasis, as they call in medical terminology, as I have other comorbidities. Like always, we consulted our family physician who referred us to Dr. Amitabha Ghosh in AMRI, Dhakuria seconded by my cardiologist. Though we haven't met him before, since he was associated with AMRI, it gave us a bit of a relief as our previous experiences with them were good. We met him on 3rd June. As we entered his cabin and came face to face with his pleasant personality, a sense of comfort came over us. He interacted with us explaining the procedure in a calm and easy to understand manner. Hence, we decided to move forward with the surgery through him only. Since we had results of most of the prerequisite tests for the surgery he asked only to get the serology test done and a PAC with Dr Samar Chakravarthy. Dr Chakravarthy was very friendly and communicated with us nicely to understand my medical history, habits and routine. He took into consideration my diabetes, hypertension and the implanted ICD to devise a plan to make me fit for general anesthesia. On 20th June, through a laproscopic surgery the stones and the gallbladder were extracted. I was in the ICU for a day and the next day I was discharged. I recall Dr Ghosh's assurances and support throughout the procedure. He gave his cell number and told us to call him whenever the need arises irrespective of the hour. These are the small things a patient prefers over and above the medical support. Those words of him really gave us confidence. Post discharge he called every day to take stock of my condition and on the 8th day we met him again to remove the stitches. Today on the 11th day post operation I am more into my normal diets and routine except for restricted movements and refraining from bending. Before signing off, I would like to highlight a few qualities of Dr Ghosh which I think ranks at a high level equal to his professional expertise.

1. Charming, jovial and excellent communication which allowed us to understand the procedure better

2. Knowledge on the subject

3. Keeping in touch with the patients post discharge

4. Always vibrant

Thank you sir for all your efforts in removing the gallbladder stones and ensuring a speedy recovery for me. Kudos to you, Dr Samar Chakravarty, Team OT, Team ICCU and also thanks to all whom I may have missed mentioning.

A doctor is expected to have the right knowledge and requisite skillsets , but mastering soft skills simultaneously is also an art. Dr. Amitabha Ghosh is a great combination of both.

After being referred by our dear friend about a month back, we visited Dr. Amitabha Ghosh inorder to consult and treat my daughter (aged 15 years) for multiple Gall Stones. On our very first visit we realised how friendly, approachable and a genuinely kindhearted person was Dr. Amitabha Ghosh. These are qualities which have become so rare today and hence experiencing such characteristic traits, that too from a busy Doctor who is also a Surgeon was indeed overwhelming and gratifying. He is a patient centric doctor.

At the end of the first consultation, Dr. Ghosh advised that sooner or later the way out to treat gall stone is a laparoscopic surgery also known as 'laparoscopic cholecystectomy'. Since my child was extremely scared after she learnt surgery is the only way out, Dr. Ghosh proactively eased out her fear and explained the entire process and made it look so simple. He took a pen and paper and explained us how the organs in the stomach look like, how the Gall bladder functions and why the surgery was needed.

Dr. Ghosh is not only compassionate but also understands the child psychology well which helped my daughter to win over the surgery with much ease and confidence. At the same time, he uses his wit and never gives any kind of tension or fear. Since our first visit and till today when we took our child for the first checkup post-surgery (after a week), Dr. Ghosh used to call me on his own inspite of his busy schedule to find out how my daughter has been doing and how she is recovering. He also spoke to our daughter to find out about her well-being and if she has any concern. Dr. Ghosh always responded to our phone calls or messages irrespective of his hectic schedule which brings great relief and gives us a feeling that we can always reach out to him in case we need his help or advise. Honestly, these gestures are rarely found today and that too from busy Doctors.

The surgery was flawless as Dr. Ghosh has a safe pair of hands, and it all went as planned on 30th Aug. On the day of discharge - 31st Aug, to our surprise Dr. Amitabha Ghosh presented my daughter with a big Cadbury chocolate Silk Bar when he came to visit her in the afternoon for a checkup and it made my daughter and us feel so touched. What a lovely gesture!

Post-surgery too, Dr. Ghosh stayed connected and always rendered help and assistance to any query we had, any concern that we raised happily and patiently as he spoke to us on the very first day.

In one line, we can proudly say that we experienced God through Dr. Amitabha Ghosh as he was His (God Almighty’s) own representative. We wish the society has more such Doctors and Humans like that of Dr. Ghosh.

We take this opportunity to thank Dr. Amitabha Ghosh once again for all that he has done and for his services. We wish him and his family the very best in life ahead. We will always remain indebted to Dr. Amitabha Ghosh and look forward to staying connected.

Best Regards,

Soumava Mukherjee

My laparoscopic cholecystectomy done by Dr. Amitabh Ghosh, and my experience was excellent. I was discharged within 24 hours, and my recovery was smooth with no pain. The sutures healed quickly, and he even arranged someone reliable to visit my home for their removal.

Dr. Ghosh guided me very well and his behavior is truly commendable. I felt completely safe under his care and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate surgeon.

In one word; Exemplary doctor with an affable smile. My association with Gr. Ghosh on 30 Sep. My wife was admitted and undergoing hypertension treatment in Manipal hospital Dhakuria.

During the routine test, the USG revealed that she was having gallstones and requires surgery.

She was recommended to Doctor Amitabha Ghosh General Surgeon, and he visited and saw the reports and advised us to meet post discharge in the OPD.

From that very day we were under his treatment and stood out an excellent person who explained every nuance off the surgery, the procedure and the recovery part in detail to us.

This did not stop here. On the day of her surgery my wife was given a bed in a congested and cringy room. Sharing the request to transfer to her desired room to Dr. Ghosh, he hey personally called up the floor manager and checked at least twice to get the transfer done.

Such empathy goes beyond the routine call of surgeon who is so busy during the entire day.

After discharge he personally called up my wife, the next day evening to enquire whether she is having any pain and discomfort. This is something that is really missing in today's medical practitioners and even if they do, their students or junior surgeons make such call

Dr. Ghosh goes beyond his normal medical part, and we reckon him as a fine gentleman who can be trusted for the surgery.

I wish to share to all who read this review; please be assured that if you are getting treated under Dr. Ghosh's knife you will be safe and having a seamless journey back home.

Our gratitude to him and best wishes for his endeavors.

I visited Dr Amitabha Ghosh for Gallbladder stone surgery.The moment I met him first time,I knew that I am in right hand.He ensured me that it was very small surgery and will just take 1 day to get back home.He stated multiple times that "I will take care of you" and trust me , it boost my confidence. He was very considerate to my fear and helped me to go through the process with ease. A surgery can be so easily done, I really had no idea. I had an C-section 11 years back and I still feel trauma whenever I think about pre and post C-section experience.But this time, I didn't even feel that an surgery happened. Even in the OT ,Dr Ghosh was at top of his friendliness and was keeping the environment so light that I couldn't feel fear or any such thing although I was lying on the surgery table.The most touchy event was to get his call the next morning after I get discharged from hospital.He was checking on my health.This I never imagined and didn't hear from anyone in my circle who went through any surgery.He is not only a great surgeon but also a great human being. I am really happy that I went through Practo in search of a good surgeon and saw his profile there.Thank you Practo!Thank you Dr Amitabha Ghosh,for helping me to go through this medical journey with utmost ease.There are so many good doctors around but a doctor like you who takes care of the patients medically and imotionaly just like their own family member is really rare! I am thankful that I went to you for this treatment.Now I am feeling great after 12 days of my surgery .Thanks again!!

He is a great doctor and most importantly a very good human being. My father had an inguinal hernia and also had some complexity with prostrate. He managed the entire procedure starting from identifying the main hernia problem, managing other doctors for consultations related to other complexities which my father had, Anesthetists, Risk Analysis and everything. We were very much comfortable and confident with the doctor from the very first day. My father was admitted at AMRI Dhakuria in the early morning at 7 AM. The operation started at 9.30 AM under general anesthesia and continued till 11 AM. My father recovered fully by 4 PM in the evening. It was a laparoscopic surgery with only 3 very small cuts. I could identify only 1. The other 2 were not visible to me. On the next day, Dr. Ghosh came early morning, reviewed his vitals and asked my father to accompany him for a small walk round the corridor. Dr Ghosh engaged him in general conversation and at the same time made him walk without any assistance. Dr. Ghosh even made my father walk up and down the stairs with 100 % confidence. After the walk was over Dr. Ghosh again asked my father whether he was OK or not. Once my father nodded his head the doctor asked me to take my father home in the evening.The package was for 4 days but that was reduced to only 2 days. He is fit and fine and resumed his daily activities very soon. The best part is Dr. Ghosh himself called up my father for 2-3 times to understand his improvement. I could not thank him enough but wish him all the best for his life. He is a great friendly doctor and always reachable for any help. I would highly recommend Dr. Amitabha Ghosh for any general surgery. He handles all the cases with extreme importance and care. God be with him to help us in our crisis. My mother in law was diagnosed with acute Cholecystectomy. She had a lot of complexity including chronic pulmonary problem, sugar and thyroid. She had at high surgery risk initially for poor lung function but under doctor Suranjan Mukherjee's diagnosis and care, the risk reduced substantially. Doctor Amitabha Ghosh made sure that the operation is done only after stabilizing all the factors as much as possible. Only after that the operation was conducted and it was 100% successful. We were all relieved to hear that she was doing fine and there is no need for any intensive care. I am very thankful to doctor Amitabha Ghosh for treating my father and mother in law.
