Patient Review
“Dr Anirban Ghosh is perhaps one of the best plastic surgeons in Kolkata. Undoubtedly there are other doctors who are good at the surgery. But the post operative care and the affection shown by Dr Ghosh is hardly comparable to any of the rest.
Unfortunately I have been dealing with doctors for last five years for different health reasons and I can tell you one thing from my very personal experience that if all treating doctors were like Dr Anirban Ghosh, people from Kolkata wouldn’t have looked for alternative doctors elsewhere in India or abroad.
Thank you Dr Anirban Ghosh.”
