When someone in the family starts complaining of chest pain or breathlessness, we don’t wait. We get anxious. We start asking around, searching online, calling friends — “Kothay bhalo cardiologist pabo? Silchar a kun doctor bhalo ase?”
If you’ve found yourself in that situation, this post is for you.
Living in Silchar, we are fortunate to have some very sincere and experienced heart specialists who not only treat patients but also win their trust. I’ve put together this guide based on personal experiences, local recommendations, and real patient feedback — no fancy marketing, just real people and real doctors.
Dr. Ahmed Hussain Choudhury – Calm, Caring, and Trusted
Dr. Choudhury is one of the most soft-spoken and patient-friendly cardiologists I’ve come across. Many families from Silchar and even Hailakandi, Karimganj, and Lakhipur travel just to consult him.
He listens. That’s what patients remember most. He won’t rush through your consultation. Whether it’s chest discomfort, BP problems, or just a routine check-up, he takes time to explain everything in simple words.
He is based in Silchar and easily available for follow-ups. People often say they feel a bit lighter, mentally, after speaking with him — and that’s not something every doctor offers.
Dr. P. C. Sarma – The Senior and Reliable Hand
Dr. Sarma has been a known name in the city for years. When someone says, “Ami toh Dr. Sarma’r kache dekhaisilam,” there’s usually relief in their voice. That’s because he brings experience, and experience matters in heart-related issues.
He doesn’t use big medical jargon. He explains problems like a teacher, sometimes even drawing diagrams to help patients understand. His approach is more like: “Let’s manage this together,” which gives a lot of confidence, especially to elderly patients.
His consultation slots fill up quickly, so it’s better to book in advance.
Dr. Tirthankar Roy – Friendly and Accessible
Dr. Roy is relatively younger compared to the above two, but very well-regarded. One thing that makes him stand out is the flexibility of location. He consults at clinics in Meherpur and Shivbari Road — convenient for many.
What patients say they like about him is his gentle tone and the way he doesn’t panic the patient unnecessarily. He suggests only the necessary tests and gives honest advice. Many working professionals and middle-aged patients prefer him because his timings are a bit more manageable.
The consultation fee is around ₹600–800, but you can be sure of getting clarity and care.
Dr. Aryakamal Das – For Surgical and Serious Cases
Now, not all heart cases can be managed with just medicine. Sometimes, when things become complicated — like valve blockage, bypass requirement, or vascular surgeries — that’s where Dr. Aryakamal Das comes in.
He’s not your regular OPD cardiologist. He’s a cardio-thoracic and vascular surgeon, one of the few in the entire Barak Valley. People have travelled from as far as Mizoram and Tripura to consult him for heart surgeries.
He’s done many high-risk operations, and his calm personality gives assurance to the family. If your doctor has referred you for surgery, Dr. Das is a name you’ll hear often in Silchar.
How to Know Whom to Visit?
This is a common confusion. Here’s a simple way to decide:
If you have symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, chest discomfort, or high BP, go to Dr. Choudhury, Dr. Sarma, or Dr. Roy.
If you’ve already done ECG or ECHO and there's talk of surgery or stenting, then consult Dr. Aryakamal Das.
For general heart check-ups and lifestyle management, any of the three non-surgical cardiologists are good options. If possible, try one and stick with them, because building a long-term relationship with your doctor helps a lot.
Before You Visit – Some Tips
1. Carry your reports – If you’ve already done ECG, lipid profile, or ECHO elsewhere, bring those.
2. Write down symptoms – Sometimes, under pressure, we forget to mention the exact issues. A small list helps.
3. Ask questions – Don’t hesitate. The best doctors always take time to answer your concerns.
4. Follow lifestyle advice – Medicines help, but food, walking, and stress control are equally important. Most of these doctors will guide you holistically.
Final Thoughts
In Silchar, we are lucky to have good cardiologists who not only heal your body but also bring mental peace. Whether it's your aging parents, your spouse, or yourself — don’t delay heart-related consultations.
The doctors mentioned here — Dr. Ahmed Hussain Choudhury, Dr. P. C. Sarma, Dr. Tirthankar Roy, and Dr. Aryakamal Das — have all earned their place in our community not through advertisements, but through years of service and genuine care.
If this post helps even one person make a better decision about their heart health, it has served its purpose.
Take care of your heart. After all, it’s not just a muscle — it’s where everything begins.
