“Both Dr. Saha and Dr. Datar have been won-
derful to work with in the clinic,” says Brice Hunt, practice manager of Ozarks Healthcare Heart and Lung Center. “They have been striving to provide exceptional care to their patients and are constantly looking for better ways we can do so in the clinic.” Dr. Saha, a board-certified pulmonologist, joined Ozarks Healthcare in October 2019. He is board-certified in internal medicine and pulmonary disease and board-eligible in critical care medicine. He previously completed a fellowship in pulmo-
nary critical care at Albany Medical Center and College in New York. He completed his residency at Saint Barnabas Medical College in Livingston, New Jersey, and earned his medical degree from Dhaka Medical College and Hospital in Bangladesh. A pulmonologist and critical care specialist,
Dr. Datar joined Ozarks Healthcare in July 2020. He is board-certified in internal medicine and board-eligible in pulmonary disease and critical care medicine. Dr. Datar earned his medical degree from Osmania Medical College in Hyderabad, India, and completed residencies and a fellowship in pulmonary diseases at Interfaith Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York. Most recently, he completed a fellowship in pulmonary critical care at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. The last four months of his critical care medicine fellowship coincided with the country’s early months of dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. While there, he worked with some of the best physicians at Baylor College of Medicine managing critically ill COVID-19 patients admitted to three hospitals.
24 | OZARKS HEALTHCARE | SPRING 2021 “I was fortunate to see how protocols were
written and implemented at bedside to give the utmost quality of care despite the overwhelm- ing stress of dealing with a pandemic, for which a cure was not in sight,” Dr. Datar says. “The processes that were established gave me a great learning experience in confidently managing crit- ically ill COVID-19 patients and how to keep my team motivated to stay on top.” Dr. Saha’s background led to his goal of im- proving local critical care services and making sure patients receive the care they need. Growing up in Bangladesh, Dr. Saha watched his father, a primary care physician, serve his patients with dedication, day or night. “I never saw him take a vacation,” Saha says. “If patients show up, you just see them. One time he told me, ‘You see patients because you want to help people more than anything else.’ ” As for themselves, Drs. Saha and Datar aim to give their patients the best care possible. They see adult patients for a range of lung dis- eases and respiratory conditions, including asth- ma, COPD, emphysema, bronchitis, lung cancer, interstitial lung diseases, cystic fibrosis, pleural effusion, occupational lung diseases, obstructive sleep apnea and pulmonary hypertension. “Our goal is to make sure our patient popula- tion does not have to travel anywhere and take care of them here,” Dr. Saha says. Ozarks Healthcare Heart and Lung Center
treats all diseases associated with the lungs and respiratory system. For more information about Ozarks Healthcare’s pulmonology services, call the clinic at 417-257-5950.
