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,

I recently underwent a nephroureterectomy as I was having gross hydronephrosis in the right kidney. My experience with Dr. Bastab Ghosh was nothing short of exceptional. Not only is he a highly skilled and competent surgeon, but he also possesses a level of care and compassion that goes beyond the call of duty. In this review, I want to express my deep gratitude to him for his extraordinary dedication and the genuine concern he showed during my entire medical journey.

From the moment I met him, he put me at ease with his warm smile and reassuring demeanor. He took the time to patiently explain the procedure, addressing all my concerns and doubts with utmost clarity. This willingness to communicate openly and honestly instilled a sense of trust, making me confident that I was in the best hands possible.

Throughout my pre-surgery preparations, he demonstrated a level of attentiveness that I had rarely experienced before in a healthcare professional. He consistently checked up on me, ensuring I was comfortable and understanding any changes in my health or emotions leading up to the surgery. His approach to patient care was holistic, recognizing that my mental well-being was just as crucial as the physical aspect of the procedure.

On the day of the nephrectomy, I was understandably anxious. However, his calming presence and encouraging words eased my nerves. The surgery was three and a half hours long, and it was a success. My recovery was smoother than I anticipated. The very evening of my surgery, he came to visit me. He asked me to get up and sit. He offered me a cup of hot tea as I was experiencing throat pain. What amazed me most was that he didn't just disappear after the operation. The very next day I was out of bed, and trust me, I couldn’t even realize that I had undergone such a major operation. He had conducted laparoscopy, and thus the pain was minimal due to the medication assigned by him. He continued to visit me regularly; he made calls to the nurses to ensure the status of my health and asked them to lend me support to walk. He monitored every inch of my progress and offered words of encouragement during my recovery process.

He took a genuine interest in my life beyond the confines of the hospital. My birthday fell on the day of the surgery. He didn't forget to wish me. He made it extra memorable by giving me a fresh lease on life. To make it even more wonderful, he handed me chocolate. He remembered details about my family and interests, and during our conversations, it felt like I was talking to a caring friend rather than a doctor. This level of personalized care made all the difference in my healing journey. He must be giving each patient this kind of meticulous attention, but it was amazing for me to receive part of it.

The entire medical team working with him was also incredible. They mirrored his compassion and professionalism, creating an environment that promoted healing and positivity.

In conclusion, I cannot thank Dr. Bastab Ghosh enough for his outstanding care during my nephrectomy. He is more than just a doctor; he is a true healer who goes above and beyond to ensure his patients' well-being. If you are seeking a skilled surgeon who also possesses an incredible level of empathy and compassion, look no further than him. He has not only impacted my life but undoubtedly touched the lives of countless others with his exceptional care.

Thank you, doctor, for being an exemplary physician and for making my journey to recovery a smoother and more comforting one. You are truly one of a kind.

May God BLESS YOU WITH ABUNDANCE AND EVERYTHING YOUR HEART WISHES FOR.

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.

If anybody asks me or I am called upon by someone else that to say something about Dr. Sanjay Mondal, I would remain silent for a moment only. This is because, it is as if to show the ray of light to the Sun through the flame of my little lamp.

I have crossed my 66+ years of milestone and hence have gathered so many experiences through several observations and experiments and also my teaching profession as an Associate Professor of Calcutta University has helped me to belief the existence of God.

I never have seen God. But I have met Dr. Sanjay Mondal who is in my belief, the AVATAR of God. Now why I am saying so? There are several reasons and incidents which has compelled me to tell you the fact.

I have had three Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) in the first part of my duodenum, the largest one is measuring about 2 cm. After getting information through endoscopy of the fact, I consulted several Doctors of that related forum of different renowned hospitals and they used me as a ping-pong ball by referring me to the endoscopic surgeons and again to the GI surgeons for open surgery simultaneously.

Someone of the Doctors also explained me the situation as , I have entered into the cave of a tiger and as it is now sleeping, I am alive. When the tiger wakes up, it will kill me and eat me as well. Some said that it would be a very much risky and life-threatening operation and 30% patients die on the operation table as it needs whipple operation by cutting several organs inside the body.

One of the Doctors said that I have to pay him Rs. 6,34,000/- for that operation and for each visit Rs. 10,000/-in excess of hospital bills. Another Doctor demanded Rs. 80,000/- in cash for tax evasion exclusively for himself rather than hospital expenses.

It is the only Doctor, Mr. Sanjay Mondal who at my first visit give me assurance that the operation bears only 2% risky as in general operation and I must get rid off the situation at a cost of Rs. 3,50,000/- only inclusive of all.

My operation was done at AMRI Hospital, Salt lake on 1 st. February,2023 and I have to stay there for eight days in a Deluxe luxury Cabin with two attendants regularly and I came back to my home by a well-equipped Ambulance and everything costs me Rs. 4,00,000/- only.

Thanks to Dr. Mondal as I am completely fit now with no problem. And my recovery comes within one and half months as he has already forecasted before. His cordial behavior, sweet temperament and quick responsiveness enamor me. I never seen such experienced and manly behaved Doctor before, in my life.

I solely belief that Dr. Mondal is transmitted by the Almighty and so, he is the pars of God. A man as a Man. Hats off to Dr. Mondal. Be well and keep well.

Thank You.

I was lucky to visit Dr Amitabha Ghosh at AMRI hospital, Dhakuria for consultation on my Inguinal hernia which had developed since last One year.

The very first day with him was an wonderful experience as I could get so much of positive vibes helping me to come out of the fear of operation. Also he explained to me and my wife on the entire process, post Operation status and required care needed before and after the operation.

After getting admitted at AMRI hospital, Dhakuria, I could feel the care taken by all and Dr Amitabha Ghosh once again explaining before the day of operation.

The surgery was successful medical procedure (Laproscopic operation) and before and after the operation, the way Doctor had taken care speaks volume for him.. He is a Doctor with human touch, noble soul and down to earth personality.

Thoroughly surprised by nice gesture and care taken by Dr Amitabha Ghosh along with the Anesthesiologist & team during Operation procedure, care taken with passion by all Supervisors, Nursing staff and their team leaders, prompt service by all others. Was also extremely happy with the total administrative control at the hospital.

Even after coming back home from day One to the next review date, Doctor Amitabha Ghosh had called me regularly to know how I am recovering and also to provide guidance incase anything is required.

Such extraordinary healing human touch with his patient in not heard or experienced even by my dear and near one's in past.

Being an ardent devotee of Thakur Sri Ramakrishna, I can only refer to his saying that "Doctor should be a human being with a noble soul who treats everyone thinking of his own, and should be fortunate to serve God through his good deeds for the mankind". I myself had experienced the same as he referred to me like his own elder brother from the very first day till today and mentioned to me that I shall be treating my elder brother, as such you need not worry at all.

Fortunate we are that, I could meet such good human being, noble soul, thorough gentleman and a wonderful Doctor....Dr Amitabha Ghosh.

Subhajit Ghosh 🙏

I was referred to Dr. Amitabha Ghosh by a friend who is a Uro-Surgeon himself and I have visited Amitabha Sir a couple of times, the first time about 6 months back for a fissure related issue and then this month for Cholecystectomy.

From my very first conversation with him I was amazed to see that Kolkata still has such senior doctors like himself who treat their patients as humans first. Dr. Ghosh understands very well how anxious and afraid a patient is when they are expecting a surgery.

He takes thorough time to understand the patient’s problems and only suggests a surgery if it’s absolutely necessary and not otherwise. If a surgery is needed he will explain to the patient why it’s needed, how it will be done and what to expect during recovery and is open to all the questions and concerns of the patient.

In my particular case for my cholecystectomy, it was my first hospitalisation let alone my first surgery! Amitabha Sir held my hand throughout the journey and despite being super busy, went to extreme lengths to make sure I am not scared or anxious. Pre and post op, he kept regular checks on me to make sure I am doing well and gave me a call the next day of the discharge to know if I have any issues. With him it never felt that I was under such a senior doctor, it always felt like I was being cared by a friend and an elder brother. As for the surgery itself, today is the 8th day and I am fully recovered.

His optimism and energy is contagious! Just book an appointment and have a consultation. For anyone who is on the fence you can rest assured that you will be under one of the most expert surgeons and a most caring human being at the same time.

My sincerest thanks to Amitabha Sir for everything he did for me 😊🙏🏼

I am nobody to judge the skill sets of Dr. Amitabha Ghosh, that’s beyond my pay grade. His illustrious career, qualifications and professional memberships say it all! I can only share with you a brief story about the interaction I had with him while my mom underwent Gallbladder laparoscopic surgery. Mom got diagnosed with stones in CBD and in gallbladder. To add to the complexity, she already had infections and pancreatitis. So I was looking for the best and finest surgeon in town who can do the perfect job within a short time, as I had to fly back to California within 10 days. My friend recommended Dr. Amitabha Ghosh. Got her admitted at AMRI, Dhakuria, under Dr Ghosh’s supervision. Since he took the charge, things started looking simple! Did conservative treatment to bring the infection down and one fine morning he performed laparoscopic surgery and quickly removed the gall stones!! Everything went perfect! Mom got discharged the very next day and came home smiling.

By god’s grace, I had the opportunity to come across the best and brightest in academia as well as in Industry. But Dr. Ghosh is someone who will beat anyone by miles in his surgical skill, professionalism, vibrancy and confidence. If you are looking for the best surgeon in India you can blindly go to him, believe me you will never repent.

Finally, thanks Dr. Ghosh for everything you did !! Will remain ever indebted to you! Hope you will give me a chance to host you in San Francisco whenever you visit California :)

Hi.My name is Mamta Agarwal Nahata. I am here to honestly write about my wonderful experience under Dr.Amitabha Ghosh.I had been suffering from gallstones for the last two years. When I approached my homeopath doctor,Mrs.Bharti Das ,she strongly recommended Dr.Amitabha Ghosh to me after her own wonderful experience of getting her gallstones removed by him.I was almost getting ready to go to Mumbai for treatment but when I met Dr.Amitabha Ghosh,I changed my mind .His knowledge, approach,confidence and reassurance that I will be taken care of was enough for me to know that I was in safe hands.The best thing about him was that he communicated with me and kept reassuring me something that I always felt was missing in the medical facility in our city. I was taken very good care of by him and the hospital staff at the AMRI Dhakuria. The surgery was easy! When I returned to my room after the surgery,the doctor came and held my hand right away and made me walk! A very compassionate person!I was very anxious about my recovery time and infections but I have been so good after the surgery.The pain was managed very well.I was fine by the third day and started teaching by the 4th day.I wasn’t given any overdose of medication .I visited the doctor again to get my stitches removed and that was easy too! I have met several doctors in Kolkata over the years and I would honestly say that Dr.Amitabha Ghosh is the most humble ,honest and friendly doctor that I have met and he has great hands as a surgeon.And he has a wonderful SMILE! I would highly recommend him to everyone who is in need of an excellent surgeon to help you and heal you! God bless you doctor for taking care of me .
