Hear Directly from Patients & Families
"Walking 3 Kilometers Daily After Needing 8 Litres of Oxygen"
"When other doctors said there was no hope for my father's lung fibrosis, Dr. Soumitra Sinha Roy evaluated his candidacy with remarkable scientific clarity. Today he is living a full, independent life without supplemental oxygen."
"Painless Daycare EBUS Biopsy — Discharged the Same Afternoon"
"I was terrified when told I needed a biopsy inside my chest. Dr. Roy explained the EBUS ultrasound scope in detail. The procedure was completely comfortable under mild sedation, and we had the histology result in 48 hours without a single stitch."
"Free from Emergency Injections and Steroids After 7 Years"
"I had visited half a dozen clinics for chronic wheezing and nocturnal breathlessness. Dr. Roy ran fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) testing, diagnosed my severe eosinophilic phenotype, and changed my inhaler regimen. My flare-ups completely ceased."
"Immediate Relief from Severe Stridor and Airway Narrowing"
"I could barely draw in air and had a high-pitched whistling noise in my throat. Dr. Roy skillfully placed an airway stent during rigid bronchoscopy. The moment I woke up in recovery, air was rushing easily into both lungs."

Detailed Clinical Consultation Feedback
"As a fellow physician, Dr. Roy is my highest recommendation for thoracic diagnostics"
When my brother developed persistent fever and hilar adenopathy, I wanted nothing less than the foremost interventional pulmonologist in India. Dr. Soumitra Sinha Roy's international fellowships and examiner pedigree at the Royal Colleges speak for themselves. The EBUS procedure was smooth, specimen acquisition was flawless with ROSE (Rapid On-Site Evaluation), and the pathological report was conclusive within 48 hours. Absolute master of his specialty.
Thank you Dr. Srinivas. Delivering high-yield, safe tissue sampling through minimally invasive bronchoscopy is our daily priority at STAR Hospitals. Wishing your brother speedy and complete recovery.
"Unmatched expertise in advanced lung failure and transplant medicine"
My father was diagnosed with terminal Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). We were anxious, confused, and drained. Dr. Roy conducted a comprehensive 6-minute walk test, high-resolution CT volumetric analysis, and right heart catheterization review. He answered every question without medical jargon, walked us through the donor matching registry criteria, and stabilized his oxygen titration. We have total peace of mind under his stewardship.
"First doctor who checked my actual inhaler technique instead of just writing prescriptions"
I had been on oral steroids for three years because no doctor could get my asthma under control. In my first visit, Dr. Roy asked me to demonstrate how I used my inhaler. He identified that I was inhaling too fast and not holding my breath. He also diagnosed severe eosinophilia using a FeNO breath test. After switching to an optimized triple inhaler and targeted biologic, I have had zero asthma attacks in 5 months!
Thank you Pooja. Inhalation device aerodynamics and technique make up 80% of asthma control. Delighted to hear you are breathing freely and back to your active lifestyle.
"Authoritative second opinion saved me from unnecessary lung wedge resection surgery"
A routine health checkup CT scan found a 14mm nodule in my right upper lobe. A local surgeon advised immediate thoracic surgery to remove part of the lung. I sought a second opinion from Dr. Soumitra Sinha Roy. He performed volumetric doubling time comparison with an old CT scan, carried out high-definition EBUS navigation, and established it was a benign old post-tuberculous scar. His clinical honesty and ethics are extraordinary.
"Comprehensive diagnostic workup for my breathlessness"
I developed breathlessness climbing stairs that gradually worsened over 8 months. Dr. Roy took a detailed environmental and exposure history, which revealed bird pigeon droppings outside my balcony air conditioner. He confirmed Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis on HRCT and DLCO diffusion testing. Removing the exposure and starting his protocol reversed my symptoms by 85%. Remarkable diagnostic acumen.
"Cured my 6-month nagging cough in 2 weeks"
I had visited ENT specialists and general physicians for a dry hacking cough that kept me up every night for six months after a viral infection. Dr. Roy identified cough variant asthma coupled with upper airway cough syndrome. Within two weeks on his prescribed inhaler and nasal protocol, the cough is 100% gone. Highly recommended specialist.
"Flawless medical thoracoscopy with zero complications"
Fluid had accumulated around my left lung twice in 4 months. Dr. Roy carried out medical thoracoscopy under conscious sedation, drained the fluid, took targeted pleural biopsies, and performed pleurodesis to prevent fluid recurrence. The procedure was smooth and I walked out of STAR Hospitals on the third day feeling light in my chest.
"Life-changing sleep apnea titration and daytime energy restoration"
My husband suffered from heavy snoring, daytime exhaustion, and falling asleep at red lights. Dr. Roy reviewed his polysomnography sleep study, explained why his oxygen dipped to 78% during REM sleep, and fitted him with an auto-CPAP machine with customized mask pressure. His morning headaches and daytime drowsiness vanished within three days. It has transformed our family's quality of life.
Frequently Asked Questions About Consultations
How much time does Dr. Roy spend with each patient?
Consultations are scheduled with generous allocated time (typically 20–30 minutes) to allow Dr. Roy to review your actual CT scan DICOM CDs, examine prior pulmonary function tests, and clearly answer all questions from you and your family.
Can I consult for a second opinion on a suspicious lung nodule or biopsy?
Yes. Many of Dr. Roy's consultations are authoritative second opinions. Bringing your previous chest radiographs, CT scans, and pathology slides allows him to evaluate whether invasive surgery can be avoided through advanced EBUS bronchoscopy or monitoring.
Is an EBUS-TBNA biopsy painful or does it require an overnight hospital stay?
EBUS is performed as a day-care procedure under mild conscious sedation and local throat anesthesia. There are no incisions, no stitches, and most patients are comfortably discharged home within 3 to 4 hours post-procedure.
When and where does Dr. Roy conduct outpatient consultations?
Outpatient consultations are conducted on the 3rd Friday of every month at STAR Hospitals, Nanakramguda, Financial District, Hyderabad. Prior booking is mandatory to ensure adequate consultation time.
