What Patients & Donors Say
Real experiences from families treated for liver transplant, liver cancer and HPB surgery.
“He performed the liver transplant surgery on me as a donor and on my father, who was a cirrhosis patient, and we are both perfectly fine now. Whenever he visited me after my surgery, I felt genuinely happy, as if a family member had come to see me. He was very empathetic pre and post surgery, patiently heard our concerns, cleared our doubts and reassured us during our hard times. No doubt he is a very good doctor who understands the impact of an illness and treats with so much care — a genuine and very kind person. Thanks to him and the transplant team for giving my father a new life.”Living Donor Liver Transplant
“I am deeply grateful to Dr. Bappaditya Har for the exceptional care during my recent surgery at R N Tagore Hospital, Kolkata. From consultation to recovery, his expertise and compassionate approach put my anxiety completely at ease. The surgery was a huge success, and I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon. Thank you!”R N Tagore Hospital, Kolkata
“When we first came to Kolkata, my mama ji was diagnosed with advanced stage liver cancer (BCLC-C). Honestly, after getting a very negative response from another centre, our family had almost lost hope. But after meeting Dr. Bappaditya Har sir at Narayana Hospital, for the first time we felt that mama ji could get better. Sir not only guided us medically, but also gave us confidence and positive hope during the toughest time of our life. It has been around 3 months since treatment started, and by God's grace mama ji is much better and recovering well. I have stayed continuously in touch with Sir, and every time he supported us with patience and care. After God, we are most grateful to Dr. Bappaditya Har sir and his team. You are not just a great doctor, but truly a life saver for our family. 🙏❤️”Advanced Liver Cancer (BCLC-C)
