When my gastroenterologist found a large polyp during my colonoscopy, they told me it was too big to be removed with the scope and that I’d need surgery. Hearing that news was terrifying. I wasn’t just worried about what it meant health-wise; I was scared about the surgery itself and the recovery. Thankfully, I was referred to Dr. Das, and from the moment I met him, I felt like I was in the best hands possible.The surgery went perfectly. Dr. Das was able to remove the polyp without any complications, and I was up and walking... read more

I am a pediatrician in Lake Charles, Louisiana who was diagnosed with rectal cancer. When I was diagnosed with rectal cancer, I felt completely overwhelmed. The doctors I’d seen before Dr. Das mentioned something called total neoadjuvant therapy, but they didn’t explain it in a way that made sense to me. I was scared and didn’t understand why I needed to go through both chemotherapy and radiation before even thinking about surgery. It all felt like too much. That’s when I was referred to Dr. Das, and everything changed. From... read more

I never thought I’d be writing a review about a doctor helping me with, well, “bathroom issues,” but here I am. For years, I dealt with something that felt impossible to talk about—I couldn’t always make it to the bathroom in time, and it was embarrassing and exhausting. I felt like I had to plan my whole day around staying close to a restroom. It wasn’t just uncomfortable; it was taking over my life.When I finally decided to get help, I was lucky enough to find Dr. Das. From the very first appointment, he made me feel comfo... read more

Dealing with sensitive health issues is never easy, and as a gay man, I’ve faced my fair share of uncomfortable conversations with doctors. When I was referred to UT Physicians for a lingering problem, I hoped for the best, but the experience fell flat. The doctor I saw was in a rush and barely listened to what I was going through. I felt like I was just being pushed through the system, without any real consideration for my concerns or how I was feeling.That’s when I found Dr. Das, and honestly, it made all the difference. F... read more

Dealing with diverticulitis was overwhelming until I met Dr. Das, who recommended minimally invasive surgery. His departure from UT left me scrambling, as the staff there wouldn’t divulge his new location and tried pushing me toward other doctors. Determined, I tracked him down at Southwest Surgical Associates. The difference was night and day. The staff at Southwest Surgical were welcoming and efficient, helping me seamlessly transition my care. Dr. Das picked up right where we left off, offering the same excellent care. He... read more

My journey through managing diverticulitis took a significant turn after an unsettling experience at UT Physicians. Initially, I consulted with a doctor there who seemed more interested in rushing through the process than understanding my condition. The consultation was fast; the doctor hardly listened to my concerns or examined me , but was quick to schedule surgery and collect the copay. It felt impersonal and hasty, like I was just another case file on their desk.Feeling uneasy about the lack of care and attention, I soug... read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Das for many years, and I can confidently say that he is one of the most skilled, compassionate, and professional surgeons I have ever encountered.

He took the time to explain every aspect of the surgery, what the recovery would look like, and what I could expect going forwa... read more

I honestly cannot find the words to fully express the gratitude I feel for Dr. Das. When I first walked into his office, I was overwhelmed with fear and exhaustion from dealing with a condition that had completely taken over my life. I had seen so many doctors before him, but each time, I felt like just another patient in line, never truly being heard. That changed the moment I sat down with Dr. Das. From the very beginning, he made me feel seen and valued, listening to every detail of my struggles with genuine compassion.I ... read more
