Visited Dr. B K Singhania (General Physician)
My mother diagnosed with right sided discectomy, she was suffering from acute pain in her right side, specially in her right leg and not able to stand properly. The pain was so exorbitant that she was not able to stand properly for a few minutes, the condition was so bad. We immediately consulted with Dr. Binod Kumar Singhania Ji, Neurosurgeon, Apollo Multispeciality Hospital, Kolkata, who's highly specialised in and experienced in this field, we got Dr. reference through our common relatives, . Dr. Singhania thoroughly checked my mother and suggested for MRI and Lumber Spine X-ray and other necessary pathological testes. After the complete diagnosis Dr. Singhania suggested for her L3-L4 and L4-L5 right sided discectomy and bilateral foraminotomy at earliest. We were hesitant to go for surgery considering her age and other medical condition and also the spine surgery that's a risky affair as always it's having some doubts that patient will be living normal as earlier with out any stress to walk properly. Dr. Singhania assured me and my family that after operation everything will be normal and my mother will not be having any issues in her day to day activities. The operation conducted on June 14th, by Dr. Singhania himself and assured that it's a successful one, I was accompanying her during this activities in Apollo Hospital, Kolkata. After the operation there was no pain at all, after 24 HRS, my mother was able to walk without any difficulties. She was discharged after 5 days.
I want to thank Dr. Binod Kumar Singhania Ji and Apollo Hospital, Kolkata for the successful surgery conducted by himself and assured me and my family that everything will be normal. We trusted and took all the valuable advice provided by Dr. Singhania throughout this course of treatment and surgery. After 3.5 months my mother started her normal life without any major issues. Thanks.

Visited Dr. Animesh Saha (Radiation Oncologist)
A Guardian Angel in a White CoatI am humbled to write this review for Dr. Animesh Saha, a true savior who entered our lives during one of the most challenging times we've faced. My father was diagnosed with stage 2 oropharyngeal cancer, and what followed was a 7-month journey that we would have never navigated successfully without Dr. Saha's expertise, compassion, and unwavering support.From the very beginning, Dr. Saha's demeanor set him apart. His kindness and patience while explaining the intricacies of the treatment plan eased our worries and provided us with a glimmer of hope. He treated my father not just as a patient, but as a person deserving of understanding and empathy, which is something that truly resonated with our family.What stood out even more was Dr. Saha's dedication that went above and beyond the call of duty. His availability during the nights, his willingness to address our concerns over the phone, and his genuine concern for my father's well-being were nothing short of remarkable. He wasn't just a doctor; he was a beacon of light during the darkest hours.Today, as we celebrate my father's victory over cancer, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for Dr. Saha's pivotal role in this journey. His medical expertise was the driving force behind my father's recovery, but it was his compassionate heart that truly set him apart. In our eyes, he epitomizes the sentiment that a doctor is indeed a godsend.If you are fortunate enough to have Dr. Animesh Saha as your doctor, you can rest assured that you are in the most capable and caring hands. Our family will forever be indebted to him for giving us the precious gift of my father's second chance at life. Thank you, Dr. Saha, for being our guiding light and a symbol of hope when we needed it the most.

*** ***** ***** ** **** *** *** ** *** ** ** *** **** ****** * **** **** **** He was always there with us as my Guardian Angel. I want to share my journey with everyone.
It's a bit long story. It was 2018 when I had an ectopic pregnancy, there I lost my left fallopian Tube and my first unborn baby. The experience left me in a traumatic situation as it was painful both physically and mentally. I was so devastated. I consulted one doctor in Kolkata, who told me "With PCOS it's very tough to be pregnant, PCOS means infertility." I consulted another doctor in Kolkata, who told me "We need to go through another laparoscopic surgery for your right fallopian tube to be sure that there is no blockage. Also, you can opt for IVF". All these things left me in depression.
Finally, one of my teachers from my school recommended me to Dr. Basak. She told me, "Consult Dr. Basak, you can trust him blindly"... I first consulted Basak sir in 2019. Just at the first meeting, he told me two things "IVF is never the solution to Ectopic Pregnancy" and "Who told you that PCOS means Infertility?" The first meeting gave me new hope. I started the treatment with him where he mainly focused on my daily lifestyle and healthy food habits. I got pregnant for the 2nd time in the year 2019 Nov, it was a Missed Miscarriage as the fetus didn't grow any heartbeat. I was again heartbroken but Arnab sir gave me the hope that all will be okay... I was pregnant with twins. 3rd Time I got pregnant once again with Twins without any heartbeat. These things were really very sad moments for us but the thing we had was hope. Dr. Basak always gave me hope that all will be fine.
Finally, I became pregnant for the 4th Time in 2021 with my princess. Dr. Basak made my journey so easy. Whenever I had any queries or confusion, I messaged the doctor and also called him over the phone. Even I called him late at night so many times. He replied to all of my messages and received/ called back to me and helped me always with everything. He was like my Guardian Angel throughout my pregnancy journey. Finally, I had my C-section under Dr. Basak and I got my princess. During the OT, he was talking to me very nicely. ** ** ***** *** ******* ** *** **** ******* May God Bless him and his family! We need more and more doctors like Dr. Basak and I recommend him to everyone! Trust him blindly, ** ** *** *****
Visited Dr. Debmalya Bhattacharyya (Hematologist)
I would like to share our heartfelt gratitude and highest recommendation for Dr. Debmalya Bhattacharyya, the attending haematologist for my mother.
In 2017, my mother was diagnosed with indolent, slow-growing Non-Hodgkin's Marginal Zone Lymphoma. Her health remained stable until early 2021, when the swelling in her left parotid(neck) began to grow significantly. This led to a general decline in her health and quality of life, exacerbated by the pandemic and the fear of seeking medical treatment due to the risk of infection.
In September 2023, upon the recommendation of the renowned oncologist Dr. Saradindu Ghosh, we consulted Dr. Debmalya Bhattacharyya. By then, my mother’s neck swelling had become alarmingly large, requiring immediate attention. Dr. Bhattacharyya recommended a biopsy, immunohistochemistry, and a PET CT scan. His diagnosis revealed that my mother was suffering from Stage 3, high-grade lymphoma, and the outlook was grim.
Following his advice, my mother underwent R-CVP prephase treatment followed by six cycles of R-CHOP chemotherapy. Despite the strong and numerous medications, after four cycles of chemotherapy, a PET CT scan showed a complete metabolic response—my mother was cancer-free.
We thank Dr. Bhattacharyya immensely for his comprehensive medical plan and unwavering support throughout this challenging time. His expertise and dedication were instrumental in my mother’s recovery. Today, my mother is in good health, and we owe her recovery to Dr. Bhattacharyya.
May God bless Dr. Bhattacharyya abundantly! He is not only a wonderful person but also a gentle and highly responsible physician. He is a priceless asset to the medical fraternity, and we accord him our highest recommendation.

Visited Dr. Manish Kumar Jain (Nephrologist/Renal Specialist)
Did not mention anything about dialysis need after my fathers discharge in the discharge summary because we wanted to do dialysis somewhere nearby because we stay quite far from Apollo hospital and when or how many dialysis is needed in the discharge summary.
He doesn’t share his ph number
He is hardly reachable. His secretary doesn’t share his number either and always asks to visit hospital physically How is that possible if I need to talk to him may be even less than a min or so?
He doesn’t bother to explain or guide patients family. Never recommend to anyone.

Visited Dr. Abheek Kar (Orthopedic surgeon)
My experience with Dr. Kar was fantastic. I broke my right side shoulder in Germany. I consulted Doctor there. They prescribed for surgery and told that there was not any alternative, as the fracture was in bad shape. The cost for surgery was about 5.5 lakh rupees ( if we convert the Euro). Total amount was to be deposited in advance, and they gave the appointment after two weeks. Moreover as per their treatment I had to stay there for six weeks. I came back to India and consulted Dr. Kar. He simply prescribed for a sling, and told to come after three weeks. Yes, no surgery. After three weeks he saw my X'ray and prescribed for light physiotherapy. Now I am O.K. Yes the cost involved for this treatment was his two times consultation fee and two times X' ray.
