Dr. Haridas Saha Protap

Dr. Haridas Saha Protap works with diseases involving the liver, pancreas, and digestive system. His qualifications include MBBS, FCPS, and MS in Surgery. He also completed fellowship training in Hepatobiliary, Pancreatic, and Liver Transplant Surgery in Japan. Patients may come to him with fatty liver, hepatitis, pancreatitis, stomach problems, or changes in liver function tests. Some already have a diagnosis. Others arrive with a few reports and symptoms that have been difficult to explain. The first consultation is usually about putting those details together.

His clinical work includes liver disease, gastrointestinal disorders, peptic ulcer disease, and irritable bowel syndrome. He also performs procedures such as endoscopy, colonoscopy, and ERCP when they are needed for further assessment or treatment. These tests can sound worrying to patients. The actual process often starts with a fairly ordinary conversation about stomach pain, bowel habits, vomiting, weight changes, or previous reports. He also has an academic role as an Associate Professor of Gastroenterology, so teaching and patient care have been part of his career at the same time. A patient with pancreatitis may need repeated reviews. Someone with fatty liver may mainly need lifestyle changes and monitoring. Another person with a blocked bile duct may require a procedure. Different problem. Different plan. Families often arrive with ultrasound reports, liver function tests, and old prescriptions tucked into a file. He reviews them before deciding what needs to be done. Sometimes another test is enough. Sometimes surgery or a procedure becomes necessary. It depends on the findings.
