Manipal Hospitals (AMRI Hospitals)

My experience with Dr. Amitabha Ghosh as a gastro surgeon in AMRI Dhakuria , Kolkata was nothing short of remarkable. When my mother needed gallbladder surgery, we were naturally anxious about the entire process. However, Dr. Ghosh's expertise, compassion, and professionalism put us at ease from the very beginning.

From the first consultation, Dr. Ghosh displayed a deep understanding of my mother's condition and thoroughly explained the surgical procedure, potential risks, and expected outcomes. His ability to communicate complex medical information in a clear and empathetic manner made us feel confident in his care.

What truly set Dr. Amitabha Ghosh apart was his dedication to patient well-being. He took the time to address all our concerns and patiently answered our numerous questions. He ensured that we were well-informed about the surgery, recovery process, and dietary adjustments post-surgery.

The day of the surgery was handled with impeccable precision. Dr. Ghosh's surgical team was well-coordinated, and the entire procedure went smoothly. We appreciated the way he and his team made my mother feel comfortable and cared for, both before and after the surgery.

Throughout my mother's recovery, Dr. Ghosh continued to be a pillar of support. He monitored her progress diligently, adjusted her treatment as needed, and provided detailed guidance on post-operative care. His availability to address any concerns, even outside of regular appointments, was greatly reassuring.

My mother's recovery is getting quicker and smoother than we had anticipated, and we credit this to Dr. Ghosh's surgical expertise and post-operative care. His dedication to ensuring her comfort and well-being was evident throughout the entire process.

In addition to his medical prowess, Dr. Amitabh Ghosh's kindness and approachability truly stood out. He treated my mother with the utmost respect and compassion, which made her feel valued as a patient. This compassionate approach extended to our entire family, and we felt genuinely cared for under his supervision.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Amitabh Ghosh as a gastro surgeon . His skill, empathy, and commitment to his patients make him an exceptional doctor. Thanks to Dr. Ghosh, my mother's surgery was a success, and her quality of life has significantly improved. We are immensely grateful for his care and support during this challenging time. Dr. Ghosh is a true gem in the medical field, and we consider ourselves fortunate to have had him as our surgeon.

If you're seeking a gastro surgeon in Kolkata even in Eastern India , look no further than Dr. Amitabh Ghosh; he truly is a wonderful doctor who goes above and beyond for his patients.

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,

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. ***

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.
