Best Cardiac Surgeon in Chattogram - Book Appointment

The echo report says one thing. The cardiologist says another. You sit between them with a file getting heavier. This is the week most families in Chattogram decide about heart surgery.

Slow down the decision, not the treatment. A cardiac surgeon's opinion is one input. Your reports are another. The checklist below helps you ask the questions that actually change outcomes: which operation, why now, what if you wait, and what the hospital itself can handle at 3 a.m.

This page currently lists one cardiac surgeon in Chattogram: Dr. Sonjoy Biswas, whose practice is in cardiac surgery at Panchlaish. Bring your echo CD, not just the written report. Surgeons trust images more than summaries.

Take a serial with your questions written down. Memory fails in chambers. Paper does not.

Which operation, and why now

Ask the surgeon to name the operation in plain words. Bypass, valve repair, valve replacement, or something else. Ask what it fixes and what it cannot fix. Ask why now and not six months later. "Because you need it" is not an answer.

Ask about the alternative. Medicines, stents, or watchful waiting may be options. The surgeon should explain the trade-offs honestly. If surgery is the only road, you should hear why the other roads are closed.

The hospital at 3 a.m.

A good surgeon in a weak hospital is a risk. Ask to see the cardiac ICU. How many beds and ventilators. Is a doctor physically present at night or only on the phone. The first 48 hours after heart surgery decide many outcomes.

Ask about the blood bank and the night lab. Ask the ICU nurse what runs out, not the front desk. Nurses give true answers.

Costs and the days after

Ask for a written cost estimate before admission. Bed charges, theatre, ICU, medicines, blood. Ask which parts usually run over. This is planning, not bargaining.

Ask about the recovery timeline. ICU days, ward days, when you can travel back to your area. For follow-ups closer to home, doctors in Chattogram can handle reviews, and a medicine specialist in Chattogram can manage long-term medicines.

Common questions

Do I need a referral to see the surgeon?

No. You can book directly. A referral letter helps the surgeon understand your history faster.

What should I bring to the first visit?

The echo report with its CD, ECG, all prescriptions old and new, and your questions written down.

What if the echo and the surgeon disagree?

The surgeon's own examination decides. Ask why the views differ. Understanding the difference matters more than picking a side.

How do I choose between two surgeons?

Compare their answers to the same questions. Clarity beats confidence. The one who explains better usually decides better.

Can I get a second opinion first?

Yes. Take your reports and echo CD. A good surgeon will not object.

What happens after discharge?

Follow-up visits run for months. Keep every paper. Bring the discharge file to each review.
