My father in law Mr.Chunilal Shah met with cardia arrest and already 2 doctors had denied for bypass surgery as his heart was functioning 30% and he being diabetic., but when consulted Dr.Panda , he was confident about the bypass surgery in such conditions also. The surgery was successful and the treatment was absolutely 100% satisfactory and worth it. The whole staff is very co operative and they maintain very high standards and protocol. As they felt for discharge they didn't even wasted a single day and the patient went home with smiling face. I strongly recommend Dr.Panda for any Heart related issues, its a ONE STOP SOLUTION, without any 2nd thought.

I consulted Dr.Ramakanta Panda for my father’s cardiac condition, and unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing.
Despite the exceptionally high consultation fee, the interaction felt rushed and impersonal. We faced an excessively long waiting time, with little regard for scheduled appointments or patients’ time.

We were also not confident about the broader support team. In complex cardiac surgeries, an experienced and accessible team is essential, especially in the event of complications. ***** ** *** ************ *** **** *** *** ****** ************ ************ *** **** ****** ******* ******** ***** ********** ** **** *** ********* ****** ************* ** *******
Given these concerns, we have decided not to proceed with surgery here. ** ************* ******* *********** ******** ********* ************* *** * ******* *********** ******* ****** *** **** ** ********* ** ********** * *** ************** **** ********** *** *** *********** ****** *** ******
