Dr. Pal sees patients at Neotia Getwel Multispecialty Hospital, Basu's Clinic (Nandalal Basu Sarani, College Para, Hakim Para), and Marina Medical Centre. The right chamber depends on what you need: routine consultations, follow-ups, and non-surgical treatment can be done at his clinic chambers, while procedures such as knee or hip replacement and other surgeries are carried out at the hospital. Because his days and timings differ across these locations, the simplest way to reach the right one is to call ahead on +91 70470 86818, and the team will book you into the chamber that suits your case and schedule.

Surgery is not always the first step. Dr. Pal follows an evidence-based, conservative-first approach: for many patients with arthritis, back pain, or joint problems, he begins with non-surgical management such as medication, physiotherapy, bracing, activity changes, and injections where appropriate. Surgery — including knee and hip replacement or spine surgery — is recommended only when these measures no longer control your pain or mobility, or when the condition clearly requires it. He explains the reasoning behind each option in simple terms so you can make an informed decision rather than feeling rushed into an operation.

Yes. A second opinion is often worthwhile before any major orthopedic surgery, and Dr. Pal welcomes patients who want to review a diagnosis or treatment plan given elsewhere. To make the consultation useful, bring any existing X-rays, MRI or CT scans and reports, a list of your current medications, and notes on your symptoms and what treatments you've already tried. With those in hand, he can assess whether the recommended surgery is necessary, suggest alternatives if suitable, or confirm the plan — so you can proceed with clarity and confidence.
