Dr. Dhiman Das is a Consultant Neurologist associated with Fortis Hospital & Kidney Institute in Kolkata. His official Fortis Healthcare profile lists 20 years of experience, while other medical directories report 21 years of overall medical experience. His published clinical interests include headache, vertigo, forgetfulness, neurological dysfunction, insomnia and nerve and muscle disorders.
Dr. Dhiman Das holds MBBS, MD in Medicine and DM in Neurology qualifications, according to his Practo and MediBuddy profiles. Practo lists his MBBS from the University of Calcutta in 2005, MD in Medicine from the West Bengal University of Health Sciences in 2011 and DM in Neurology from the University of Calcutta in 2014.
As a neurologist in Kolkata, Dr. Dhiman Das provides specialist assessment for symptoms associated with the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves and muscles. Neurological consultation helps identify possible causes of symptoms and determine whether further investigations or treatment are required.
Headache is one of Dr. Dhiman Das's documented areas of clinical interest. Headaches may occur due to migraine, tension-type headache, medication overuse or other medical conditions. Evaluation considers the pattern, frequency, severity and associated symptoms.
Migraine is a neurological disorder that can cause recurring headache attacks, sometimes accompanied by nausea, light sensitivity or visual symptoms. Appropriate assessment helps distinguish migraine from other headache conditions and guide treatment planning.
Vertigo is another symptom specifically listed in Dr. Das's professional profile. Vertigo produces a sensation of spinning or movement and may be associated with disorders affecting the inner ear, vestibular pathways or central nervous system.
Dizziness and balance difficulties can arise from several neurological and non-neurological causes. Clinical assessment may include neurological examination, symptom history and selected investigations depending on the suspected underlying condition.
Forgetfulness and memory-related complaints are among the areas listed in Dr. Dhiman Das's Practo profile. Memory difficulties may be associated with sleep problems, medication effects, mood disorders, vitamin deficiencies or neurological conditions.
Neurological dysfunction can affect movement, sensation, coordination, speech or other nervous system functions. The pattern and progression of symptoms help determine which investigations or specialist assessments may be appropriate.
Nerve and muscle disorders are another documented clinical interest of Dr. Das. These conditions may cause weakness, numbness, tingling, muscle cramps or other symptoms involving the peripheral nervous system and muscles.
Peripheral neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction affecting peripheral nerves. Symptoms can include burning sensations, reduced sensation, pain or weakness, and evaluation may involve reviewing diabetes, nutritional status, medications and other possible causes.
Insomnia is specifically listed among the services associated with Dr. Dhiman Das. Persistent difficulty falling asleep or remaining asleep may affect concentration, mood and daytime functioning, and may require assessment for underlying medical or sleep-related conditions.
Sleep disturbances can sometimes occur alongside neurological symptoms, including headache, fatigue and cognitive complaints. Identifying contributing factors is important when developing an appropriate management plan.
Neurological examination may include assessment of muscle strength, reflexes, sensation, coordination, gait and cranial nerve function. Findings can help determine whether additional testing or referral is necessary.
Depending on the clinical presentation, neurological investigations may include blood tests, MRI, CT imaging, electroencephalography or nerve conduction studies. The need for each investigation depends on the patient's symptoms and examination findings.
Persistent or recurring neurological symptoms should be assessed according to their severity and progression. Sudden weakness, facial drooping, speech difficulty or an abrupt severe headache may indicate a medical emergency and require immediate hospital care.
Dr. Dhiman Das is also listed by Practo and MediBuddy at Sparsh Diagnostic Centre in Bansdroni, Kolkata. Practo additionally identifies Suraksha Diagnostics in Tollygunge as a consultation location. Patients should confirm current clinic affiliations and schedules directly before visiting.
Patients seeking a neurologist in Kolkata for headache, vertigo, memory problems, insomnia or nerve and muscle symptoms may consult Dr. Dhiman Das for neurological evaluation.
