A paediatric cardiologist looks after the hearts of babies, children and teenagers — very different from an adult heart doctor. Choosing the right one gives your child the best start.
What to look for
- Specialist qualification: a dedicated paediatric-cardiology fellowship (for example FNB, plus overseas training) beyond a general paediatric or cardiology degree.
- Experience and volume: how many echocardiograms and cath-lab procedures the doctor performs — experience matters for tiny hearts.
- Non-invasive first: a good specialist avoids unnecessary tests and prefers the least invasive option.
- Clear communication: someone who explains in your language — Bengali, Hindi or English — and welcomes a second opinion.
Access across the city
Consider clinic locations and timings too. Dr. Debabrata Nandi consults at RTIICS, Mukundapur, and at Barasat and Kankurgachi — with monthly visits to Ranchi and Bhagalpur — so families across Kolkata, North 24 Parganas and beyond can reach expert care close to home.
Bring your child's earlier reports and a list of questions — the first visit is the best time to ask everything.
