I recently underwent bypass surgery at the Asian Heart Institute under the care of Dr. Ramakant Panda and his surgical team. Writing this post-discharge, I want to place on record my sincere appreciation for what was an exceptional, world-class standard of medical care and administrative efficiency.
Reaching out from Goa, the coordination was remarkably swift; within 24 hours of our initial inquiry, we had an in-person consultation with Dr. Panda. His clinical assessment was immediate, lucid, and decisive. He laid out the rationale for the bypass surgery clearly, addressed all concerns with total transparency, and prioritized a treatment roadmap focused entirely on my recovery.
Every subsequent stage of the process was seamlessly managed:
Clinical Excellence & Supervision: Dr. Panda’s stature and surgical precision gave us immense confidence going into a major procedure. The senior clinicians provided authoritative direction, while the resident doctors offered vigilant bedside monitoring and thoughtful reassurance throughout my stay.
Support Staff & Nursing Care: The nursing, technical, and administrative staff demonstrated meticulous professionalism. Patient care was prompt, empathetic, and consistently coordinated across shifts.
Operational & Billing Transparency: The entire trajectory—from admission to final discharge—was completely friction-free. The pricing structure and hospital policies were fair, transparent, and handled with complete integrity.

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.

My mother got her CABG done by Dr Ramakanta Panda on 27tg Aug, 2026. I was and am still scared of her health, but doctors here and the entire team has been very supportive and caring. The first visit to Dr Panda itself gave me confidence and alot of positive vibes to go ahead with my mother’s surgery at the age of 73.
I look forward for the hospital’s support during her postoperative journey.

Dr. Panda - In this world, time is the only non-renewable resource. As the youngest in the family, and with my mother and brother both deceased, I cannot thank you enough for giving me the gift of time by saving my father's life. I hope to enjoy the time we have together. Thank you for your talent and care. I wish you a happy life and much success ahead. Kavita (Patient's daughter)
