Stories of Little Hearts

★★★★★

“Our 27-day-old was critically ill and unfit for surgery. Dr. Nandi relieved the obstruction through a catheter in the cath lab and stabilised our baby. He gave our child a second chance at life.”

★★★★★

“The device closure was done without any surgery or scar. My daughter went home the next day and is now growing beautifully. Dr. Nandi explained everything with so much patience.”

RRina D.Mother · PDA device closure
★★★★★

“We travelled from Bangladesh for a fetal heart scan. The diagnosis was clear and the counselling was honest and kind. We felt safe in his hands throughout the pregnancy.”

AAbdul H.Father · Fetal echo, Bangladesh
★★★★★

“We first met Dr. Nandi at his Barasat clinic. He never rushed us, drew diagrams to explain our son's VSD, and reassured us it would likely close on its own — and it did. Honest advice, no unnecessary tests.”

SSourav & Priya M.Parents · VSD, Barasat
★★★★★

“My 20-week scan raised a doubt about the baby's heart. Dr. Nandi's fetal echo at Kankurgachi settled it in minutes and calmed our whole family. Calm, thorough and genuinely caring.”

TTanushree G.Mother · Fetal echo, Kankurgachi
★★★★★

“From Howrah, we see Dr. Nandi for our daughter's ASD reviews. Appointments run on time, the echo is painless, and he speaks to us in Bengali so we understand every detail. Highly recommended.”

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the best paediatric cardiologist in Kolkata?
Dr. Debabrata Nandi is a Senior Consultant Interventional Paediatric & Fetal Cardiologist at RTIICS, Narayana Health, Kolkata, with 12+ years' experience, 40,000+ echocardiograms and 2,000+ cath-lab procedures. He consults in Mukundapur, Barasat and Kankurgachi (Kolkata), with monthly visits to Ranchi and Bhagalpur, in Bengali, Hindi and English.
Is child heart surgery free in West Bengal?
Many congenital heart procedures for children are covered free under the West Bengal government's Sishu Sathi scheme, and families can also use Swasthya Sathi cards. Dr. Nandi has screened thousands of children under Sishu Sathi; his team will guide you on eligibility.
When should I take my child to a paediatric cardiologist?
See a specialist if your child has a heart murmur, bluish skin or lips, breathlessness, poor feeding or growth, fainting, palpitations, or a family history of congenital heart disease.
Is a heart murmur in my child dangerous?
Most childhood murmurs are 'innocent' and completely harmless. A quick, painless echocardiogram confirms whether any structural defect is present.
Can holes in the heart close on their own?
Yes — many small ASDs and VSDs close naturally in early childhood. Those that persist can often be closed with a catheter device, without open-heart surgery.
Is fetal echocardiography safe during pregnancy?
Completely. It uses the same safe sound waves as a routine pregnancy ultrasound — no radiation and no risk to mother or baby.

Every child's heart deserves an expert.
