Dr. Bidhan Bihari Das, MD

I helped take care of a family member with colon cancer and attended multiple appointments. The wait was something we learned to expect, but once Dr. Das came in, he gave us his full attention. His Harvard training shows in how thorough and thoughtful he is. The outcome was excellent, recovery went smoothly, and we felt supported every step of the way.

I took my mom to her appointment after she was diagnosed with colon cancer. The wait was longer than expected, so just be prepared for that. But Dr. Das spent so much time with us that I understood why. He explained everything calmly and thoroughly, and knowing he was Harvard trained honestly gave us extra confidence. My mom’s surgery was successful, her recovery went well, and she’s back to enjoying life again. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Staff 5 Punctuality 5 Helpfulness 5 Knowledge 5 I’d rather wait for the right surgeon than be rushed by the wrong one. Dr. Das took the time to explain my surgical options and made me feel confident going into a procedure that had been causing me a lot of anxiety. The outcome exceeded expectations, and my recovery was smoother than I imagined. I’d wait again without hesitation. He is an amazing surgeon --- Im so glad I found him. A friend had his surgery by another surgeon who was ...more prompt... but the quality was very different. Even my friend (who took care of me after surgery) thought Dr Das was a true master surgeon when he compared my recovery to his.

Dr. Das is outstanding—kind, efficient, and truly an expert in his field.

I was referred to Dr. Das after years of dealing with recurring diverticulitis. From the first consultation, I knew I was in good hands. He explained why surgery was the right choice for me and how we would approach recovery. The operation went smoothly, and his postoperative instructions were clear and easy to follow. Today, I feel healthier than I have in years—he gave me my life back.

I came here for a second opinion and immediately knew I had found the right doctor. Dr. Das gave me a clear plan of care that was both realistic and compassionate. His expertise in minimally invasive techniques made my recovery much faster than expected.

My mother was a patient at UTHealth Houston Colorectal Surgery, and the experience there was honestly heartbreaking. She was bounced around between appointments, her surgery kept getting delayed, and no one seemed to take responsibility. When I called UTHealth Patient Experience to report how she was being treated, we got polite words but zero action. Her care just stalled. Out of frustration, we found Dr. Bidhan Das for a second opinion, and I will never forget the relief after that first visit. He reviewed everything thoroughly, explained the situation clearly, and had my mom scheduled and treated within days. The compassion from his staff, the professionalism, and the follow-up were everything UT should have been but wasn’t. I truly believe Dr. Das gave my mom her quality of life back. If your loved one is stuck in the system at UT and not getting real answers, don’t wait — go see Dr. Das. He’s the surgeon who actually makes things happen.

I came to Dr. Bidhan Das for a second opinion after seeing the UTHealth Houston Colorectal Surgery group. I wish I had gone to him first. My experience at UT was extremely frustrating—delays, dismissive communication, and staff who seemed more focused on paperwork than on helping me get better. When I tried to call UTHealth Patient Experience to get help, nothing meaningful happened and my care was delayed for weeks. Dr. Das, on the other hand, immediately took my concerns seriously. He explained everything clearly, offered a real plan, and treated me like a person rather than a number. His office runs efficiently, his team communicates promptly, and he made sure my surgery and recovery went smoothly. If you’ve had a disappointing experience at UT and need a true expert who actually listens and acts, Dr. Das is the surgeon you want to see.

As a physician, I’ve referred numerous patients to Dr. Das for complex colorectal malignancies. When I was diagnosed myself, there was no hesitation—he was the one. There is no higher recommendation.

Dr. Das is a miracle worker. I was referred to him after years of living with fecal incontinence—something I was too embarrassed to talk about. He diagnosed the issue quickly and recommended sacral neuromodulation. The procedure was fast, and the results were immediate. I can now go out in public, eat without fear, and travel again. He changed my life, and I can’t thank him enough. If you think you just have to “live with it”—you don’t. Go see Dr. Das.
