      My mother is under Dr Kaushik’s treatment for the past 6 months. The treatment, medications and the way he lightens the whole atmosphere with his humour is commendable. He explains very clearly the treatment plan. The treatment suited my Mom well and she is on recovery path. Thank you doctor.

      অসাধারণ একজন ডাক্তার। চেম্বার এ আমার রুগী ঢুকার সময় উনি তার হাটা দেখে ই বুজে ফেলেছেন রুগীর কি সমস্যা। আমারা যখন সমাস্যা এর কথা বলছি তখন উনি সব শুনে একটা হাসি দিয়ে বল্লেন আপনি হাটা দেখেই বুজেছি আপনার কি সমস্যা, শুধু আপনার কথার সাথে মিলিয়ে নিলাম।

      Dr. Kaushik is an excellent man in real sense of the term. His philanthropic nature impresses all. In several critical cases where patients lost all hopes, his kind,soft,and optimistic attitude helped to regain confidence and now they are enjoying their lives to the fullest. As for me, I ever consider him next to God. I have ever met lots of rheumatologis, but Dr. Kaushik is the best among the lists of better. May God grant him a long,long life. I always look forward to meet and put a glance at him.

      Dhanasekar Purushotham

      Came to know this doctor through an emergency for my wife. He is an excellent surgeon, down to earth and very compassionate human being who understands plight of patient and clearly explains whatever I asked. As my wife's case needed many followups, review of colon function and a second surgery after 6 months, we had to consult him at various intervals of time and it is was this journey that made us feel confident of his expertise and enriched experience. He is a great surgeon and my heartfelt thanks to him !!!
