Two North Delhi clinic locations — which one is right for you?
North Delhi is a large pocket of the city. To make access easier for residents in different neighborhoods, Dr. Sengupta runs two OPD locations covering complementary timings. Most chronic patients see him at one and visit the other only when their schedule changes.

What North Delhi patients consult for — in order of frequency
Based on OPD volumes across both clinics, these are the conditions most commonly seen in North Delhi residents:
- GERD & acid reflux — the single most common reason. Spicy food, late dinners and sedentary office work make this Delhi's number-one GI complaint.
- IBS — bloating, irregular bowels, post-meal urgency. Often missed for years before patients seek a specialist.
- Fatty liver (NAFLD/NASH) — flagged on routine ultrasound or company health checks. Reversible if caught early.
- Peptic ulcer / gastritis & H. pylori — chronic stomach pain, often resolved with a 14-day eradication regimen.
- Viral hepatitis (B & C surveillance) — modern direct-acting antivirals cure Hep C in 12 weeks with cure rates > 95%.
- Inflammatory bowel disease — Crohn's and ulcerative colitis, managed long-term with biologics and surveillance colonoscopy.
- Pancreatitis — ERCP for stones, EUS-guided drainage of pseudocysts.
Endoscopy in North Delhi
Upper GI endoscopy (gastroscopy) is the most common day-care procedure performed for North Delhi patients — for chronic acidity, persistent dyspepsia, suspected ulcers, and unexplained anaemia. The procedure takes 5–15 minutes under throat-spray or light IV sedation, and patients go home the same day. Capsule endoscopy and enteroscopy are also available for the small intestine.
If you searched for “endoscopy in North Delhi” or “endoscopy near me”, the procedure is performed at the dedicated endoscopy suite at Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh — central to all North Delhi neighborhoods. Pre-procedure consultation can be at either the Ashok Vihar OPD or the Fortis OPD.
Colonoscopy in North Delhi
Colonoscopy is recommended for screening (after age 45 with family history of colon cancer or polyps), for evaluation of chronic diarrhea or rectal bleeding, and for monitoring known IBD. Performed under IV sedation (painless), the procedure takes 20–45 minutes; polypectomy and biopsy are done in the same sitting. Patients are discharged within 2–3 hours after recovery.
Most North Delhi patients have their colonoscopy done at Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh with cashless insurance approval — the procedure typically costs ₹10,000–₹18,000 depending on biopsy/polypectomy and is generally covered if billed with admission.
Other endoscopic procedures available
All procedures are performed at the Fortis Shalimar Bagh endoscopy suite under anaesthesia, with same-day discharge for routine work. Cashless approval on most insurance panels.
- Capsule endoscopy — pill-camera, no sedation
- ERCP — bile-duct stones, stenting, biliary obstruction
- Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) — high-resolution pancreas/bile-duct imaging with FNA biopsy
- Enteroscopy — small-bowel evaluation
- Manometry & 24-hour pH study — refractory GERD, achalasia, chronic constipation
Insurance & cost expectations for North Delhi patients
Outpatient consultation typically costs ₹800–₹1,500. Diagnostic UGI endoscopy at Fortis ranges ₹4,000–₹8,000; colonoscopy ₹10,000–₹18,000 depending on biopsy/polypectomy and anaesthesia choice. Procedures done with admission are generally fully covered by insurance — the hospital's TPA desk handles cashless approval before the procedure starts. Bring your insurance card, a photo ID and any prior reports.
Why a North Delhi practice matters
Gastroenterology is a long-relationship specialty. Conditions like IBD, fatty liver, IBS and chronic pancreatitis need follow-ups every 3–6 months for years. Having two North Delhi locations — one near home and one at a tertiary hospital with full procedural facilities — means you don't have to drive across the city for routine reviews, and you don't have to switch doctors when something requires a procedure. The same physician sees you in OPD, scopes you at Fortis, and follows up after.
