Notable Cases Handled
A patient with drug-resistant epilepsy uncontrolled on three antiepileptic medications underwent comprehensive EEG monitoring and pharmacological restructuring under Dr. Chowdhury's guidance; following a protocol change incorporating a newer-generation anti-seizure medication, seizure frequency reduced by over 70% within three months.
A patient presenting with acute ischaemic stroke within the thrombolysis window received intravenous tPA under Dr. Chowdhury's supervision, achieving near-complete neurological recovery — measured by a significant reduction in NIHSS score at 24-hour and 90-day follow-up.
Patient Feedback Themes
- Clear Answers to Complex Questions: Patients consistently commend Dr. Chowdhury for providing thorough, accessible explanations of neurological diagnoses — including in high-stakes conditions like epilepsy and Parkinson's disease.
- Long-term Trusted Care: Multiple reviewers report following Dr. Chowdhury's care for a decade or more, reflecting exceptional continuity and patient trust in chronic neurological conditions.
- Friendly and Professional: Patients describe his approach as warm and professional simultaneously, making difficult neurological consultations less intimidating.
