Shreya MaityI was diagnosed with sleep apnea in 2025 by Dr. Sanjay Ghosh, who prescribed the use of a CPAP machine. However, I faced significant difficulty using the machine due to nasal congestion, which blocked the airflow. Despite consulting both the vendor and my doctor, the issue remained unresolved. I was even advised by another ENT specialist to undergo surgery. Fortunately, I came to know about Dr. Agniva Basu and consulted him multiple times. He carefully assessed my condition and advised against surgery. Instead, he recommended the use of a full-face mask and personally guided the vendor to adjust the CPAP machine settings—something truly beyond the usual scope of a doctor’s role. His dedication and hands-on approach resolved my problem completely, and since then, I have been using the CPAP machine comfortably without any issues. Recently, I experienced discomfort in my throat, with a sensation of something being stuck. A local doctor again suggested surgery, attributing it to sleep apnea and throat fat/obesity. However, the prescribed medication did not provide relief. I once again consulted Dr. Agniva Basu, who recommended a laryngoscopy test to rule out any serious condition. After evaluation, he diagnosed the issue as being related to acidity and advised weight management along with appropriate medication. I am now following his treatment and feeling much better. At the age of 57, I can sincerely say that I have rarely come across a doctor like Dr. Agniva Basu. He is not only an exceptional medical professional but also a compassionate and dedicated human being. To me, he is nothing short of a savior. Despite being younger, I hold him in the highest respect, almost like an elder brother. I wish him continued success and fulfillment in all his future endeavors.Posted on Google
