[Resolved] Arindamsarkar.in — Poor quality Hair Transplantation services | |||
I underwent hair transplant surgery at Dr arindam Sarkar's place on October 8th 2013. Prior to this I had consultation at wizderm clinic at manisquare mall. He diagnosed that I needed 800 grafts for my frontal area. He seemed very confident to me and I thought since less no. of grafts are needed price would be affordable so I thought why not go ahead with it. I was impressed by Dr. Sarkar's academic background and I assumed that such a person would know about the standard details of hair transplant process. But after the surgery the results shocked me. I never expected that a doctor of his level would make such mistakes and do such medical negligence. Even during the surgery and just after the surgery I was slightly dissatisfied and sceptical whether Dr sarkar's graft estimation was correct or not and doubts about his artistic skills since hair transplant is first an art, we are utilizing a scientific principle to achieve a cosmetic/ artistic end. With the advent of internet a patient might not know every thing about medical science but can surely study independently to a great deal and familiarize oneself with the subject such that it wouldn't be Greek or Latin for the patient and unscrupulous doctors may not take advantage of the patient's ignorance. I know a great deal about the Hair transplant process simply by reading from the internet. During the surgery the meticulous attention to details that is needed wasn't observed at all and Dr Sarkar and his team was simply in a great hurry to complete the surgery whatever be the quality of the HT surgery. After some initial involvement Dr Sarkar delegated the entire surgery to a lady assistant of his who was not even properly trained. She made a huge error. She lowered the left forehead hairline very low, not at the same level as the right forehead hair line. Also the grafts should never be placed in sets of lines but Dr Sarkar and his lady assistant placed all the grafts on both sides of the forehead in sets of lines. Have you ever seen hair growth in your entire body in sets of lines and sufficient space between each of these lines. This doctor doesn't even know this when it's clearly stated in HT literature that grafts should be placed randomly . And this doctor was the topper of Calcutta University and ex-secretary of Association of Plastic surgeons West Bengal and member of Indian association of plastic surgeon. This could be the reason or he wanted to save time and labor, do any kind of surgery since he has already taken the money so give any quality service. While placing the grafts the angulation wasn't correct on the right side of the forehead, it wasn't grossly wrong but certainly not matching the natural hair behind it. At the hair line for naturalness, single hair grafts are used but Dr Sarkar doesn't even have the artistic sense and used double hair grafts. He didn't do trichophytic closure at the donor site properly . At one area there was redness and tenderness and the area was paining and bleeding and thicker than the rest of the donor scar . It was possibly because he didn't suture it properly. Money can corrupt even a meritorious student. Even during the surgery, his attendant whom he had delegated the duty wasted some of my donor grafts since she didn't find space to put the grafts - then how come density is so poor and how come there are ample vacant spaces where transplant wasn't done at all then why were my grafts wasted. In every place where grafting was done there was either cobblestoning or pitting. When I pointed it out to Dr Sarkàr he started bluffing that he had put 1200 grafts and not 800, why will he put 1200 when I paid him for 800. Also he never kept record of when I was supposed to go for follow up. Dr Sarkar is using his academic history to attract patients and earn money without focusing on quality.

Aug 14, 2020 Complaint marked as Resolved I would like to withdraw this complaint permanently. At that time when I had written i was in a state of panic because I was not aware of certain important informy in 1 session. Most HTs are done in multiple sessions only by all surgeons across the country. And scar revision can be done anytime. So it was indeed a premature assessment of Dr. Arindam Sarkar’s work. Moreover in the meantime he has dramatically improved his services. Just visit his YouTube channel and see all the video feedbacks that patients have given. You can then also visit the respective patients Facebook page (if they have one) and see the pictures that these patients have uploaded in their respective social lives. You can also visit his LinkedIn page. I therefore recommend all patients interested in HT or any other cosmetic treatment to go ahead and can definitely choose Dr. Arindam Sarkar. Not only this Dr. Arindam Sarkar keeps updating viewers about the various seminars and conferences that either he attends or initiates via his website www.arindamsarkar.in . May he continue helping his patients. Viewers/Patients are thus requested not to form any negative perception about Dr. Arindam Sarkar reading my premature assessment and without any hesitation can go ahead and choose him. can go ahead and choose him. | |||

I also want to go for hair transplantation. Can you suggest me any good doctor in kolkata please.
If you are in Calcutta Dr Arindam Sarkar is simply a wrong decision which I made since I judged his caliber only by his academic background. Dr Arindam Sarkar is not a member of Association of hair restoration surgeons India. Dr Manoj Khanna would be the best for HT in Calcutta. He was the past president of AHRSI. Other good doctors in India are Dr Venkatram Mysore in Bangalore where I am presently going to rectify the mistakes Dr Arindam Sarkar made, which I have mentioned above. Dr.Pathuri Madhu in Hyderabad. All these doctors are also members of International Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons and Dr Arindam Sarkar is not a member of either of the two. Dr Venkatram Mysore is the present president of AHRSI and one of the earliest members of ISHRS from India. Dr Manoj Khanna would charge more since he does HT for celebrities

Hello there, i really don't believe this(Dr Arindam Sarkar is not a member of Association of hair restoration surgeons India). He is the member of AHRS and IAAPS.

Vikashk9874's reply, Apr 21, 2018
dr maneesh is also a good doctor but if you want to Digg deep in review thing, you will find negative reviews against him as well. I even noticed bad reviews against manoj khanna so claimed top hair transplant surgeon of India.

After seeing your love for Dr Manoj & others it seems something fishy. They they did anything its an error and if same thing goes with Sarkar he is corrupt... lol.
Has Dr Arindam Sarkar paid you to write good reviews. - if you think like so be it. (If you think you are the only one genuine reviewer left in this world) .. i have given many genuine good reviews to many business.

The above photo is his tricophytic closure ...this is the topper of Calcutta University.
But when I went to him for suture removal, Dr Arindam Sarkar bluffed me that the closure was very nicely done.
And very recently I got a huge suture fragment removed from the donor area...Dr Arindam Sarkar is a fraud who is very cleverly taking advantage of his past academic history.
www.arindamsarkar.in is his website.
If you see his website, he has written that he provides world class HT surgery and he is very experienced... All that is a big lie to attract patients and provide third rate services. I WILL be dragging Dr Arindam Sarkar to Kolkata Consumer Court . Court fee is just 200 rupees.
His website is www.arindamsarkar.in
Don't trust the before and after photographs he has provided in his website... With digital technology it's easy to create fake photos. Always trust videos and he hasn't uploaded any videos in his website.
Very recently he has renovated his website... It could be in response to the complaint that I have lodged here...to save his image..
Don't trust this picture that he has uploaded in his website ... this can not be his work ...see my case, that is what he is capable of ...this is a fake picture... Since demand for hair transplantation is huge Dr Arindam Sarkar is depending on HT for earning most of the money and revenue for his clinic.

This is a before after picture that has been uploaded by Dr Arindam Sarkar in his website. This simply can't be his work. This is a fake picture...the postoperative photo is not as clear as the preoperative photo. Just see my photo, that is what he is capable of...Since demand for hair transplantation is huge, Dr Arindam sarkar is depending upon HT for earning money and major share of revenue for his clinic otherwise he will become bankrupt and won't be able to pay his employees. But he should focus on ethics and quality service.
This is a before after photo uploaded by Dr Arindam Sarkar at his website...this can not be his work... Why is the before picture so clear and the after picture so hazy ... I have doubts. See my case above and compare. He can't make an artistic hairline.
The before and after pictures that he has uploaded in the Laser Treatment section are all morphed using Digital Photoshop... You can easily make out.
