Dr Samar Chowdhury, a resident of Salt Lake City, has been treating poor patients for free for a long time now. After completing his FCCP from the United States, he came back to start his private practice in Kolkata. Since then apart from his private practice, he has been conducting free checkups at his home for patients who otherwise cannot afford to consult him. Apart from his philanthropy in the city, Dr Chowdhury, a specialist in neuro-medicine, is also engaged in treating the poor in various villages of the districts of Burdwan, Hooghly, Howrah and Nadia. He goes around twenty-four villages twice a month. He visits remote places like Kamarkundu, Gudap, Kalna, Bagula, Samudragarh, Nadanghat, Tarakeshwar, Tamluk — places were medical care for neuro-problems are not generally available.Interestingly, unlike most cases, his efforts to reach out to that section of the population which is most neglected, has been an individual effort. He is neither associated with any non-governmental organizations nor with any governmental schemes, despite the fact that he is the Vice-chief Medical Officer of the Governor of West Bengal. He prefers to set up his chambers in these villages.Recently, a book was written by him, Science, Universe, God and Global Peace, was inaugurated by renowned Bengali Actor Soumitra Chatterjee at the Press Club in Kolkata. In this book he talks about how global peace can be achieved Recently, a book was written by him, Science, Universe, God and Global Peace, was inaugurated by renowned Bengali Actor Soumitra Chatterjee at the Press Club in Kolkata. In this book, he talks about how global peace can be achieved if only human beings realize their position in the universe as nothing more than a speck. This book has been a fruit of his experiences in his professional life, his lecture tours on Stress Management across the globe and his philanthropic activities.To fulfil his long-term dream of forming a Peace Institute to promote global peace, Dr Chowdhury visited the United States and met President Barrack Obama, on May 15, 2011. He is experienced and handled a lot of patients in Several Hospital in the USA (like West Plano Hospital, Dallas. Luciana State Hospital New Orleans).
Visited For Neurological Problems
Happy with: Doctor friendliness
Dr. Chowdhury belongs to that rare and dying breed of physicians who used to truly care about their patients. Although I was unable to follow up on his advised course of treatment due to personal reasons, he comes HIGHLY recommended from me for the following reasons.
1. His friendly nature makes it easy for patients to talk about their problems in detail.
2. In spite of being a highly sought after neurologist of international fame, he remains down to earth in order to be approachable for his patients.
He really does care and takes the time necessary to treat each patient with precision. The only advise for anyone visiting the good doctor will be that you should get there as early as possible, because a LOT of people come to see him and I had to wait for four hours on a Sunday!

Sorry to say but I had a very bad experience with him. I would never recommend anyone to visit him. I had visited him mainly for my Grandmother's headache problem in addition she had knee and waist pain as her age is 75 yr but was able to walk and do every household work by herself. Doctor suggested MRI for whole body which cost us Rs16000/- . After seeing the report Doctor prescribed some medicines. We thought her problem will be diagnosed correctly and she will be alright after taking the meds, as meds were prescribed to her after reviewing the MRI reports. *** ***** ****** *** **** *** *** ********** *** ****** *** ****** **** **** *** *** *** **** ** **** ** ******* * *** ***** **** ******* ****** *** *** **** ******* **** *** **** ******* We contacted doctor to suggest what to do now he said to stop one medicine name Amixide and suggested two blood test .

Visited For StrokeIschemic
Hoped for better: Treatment satisfaction
Atfirst I had a different opinion about the doctor. I had been there for my father's ischemic stroke management. On the day we had to wait a long time but I was really very impressed by his behaviour and genial approach towards us. After hearing all the problems he told us to have some costly tests done and prescribed some medicines. We had the tests done at Mr. Chowdhury's preferred lab R.B diagnostics. I was very happy and confident about his treatment and the medicines he prescribed for my father. But my positive thoughts completely evaporated after taking the medicines. ** ******** ****** ************ ******* ******* ***** ***** *** ***** *** ** ****** *** ********** Naturally I had to stop all the medicines. Later we consulted another doctor *** **** ** **** ******* *** ** ******** ***** *** *** **** ****** *** ******* ******* *** **** ******* ******* *** ********* **** **** ********* ***** **** ******* ********** *** ** ****** *** ***** **** ***** ** *** ******** So I suggest everyone to avoid this doctor at all cost.
