In Their Own Words
I'm privileged to get you as a doctor & also honoured to have attached with you. I'm perfectly satisfied with her work as a Gynaecological Oncologist with your best efforts in my surgery along with all other tests & reports
I had the pleasure and privilege of knowing her more closely during my treatment for Endometrial Cancer at CNCI. I must admit that I have complete faith in her and trust her blindly. It is not just her expertise, but also her immense knowledge and remarkable ability to put patients at ease. With her ever-smiling demeanor, she explains every condition with such transparency and clarity that one instantly feels connected and reassured. For patients going through such critical health challenges, feeling connected to their doctor is invaluable, and she ensures that every patient experiences exactly that. She is always available whenever I have even the slightest concern about my health and responds almost immediately. I truly could not have asked for more. They say doctors are like God, and I wholeheartedly agree. But for me, she is my GOAT — the Greatest of All Time.
Best Doctor I have ever seen. She is the angel for me… Saved my mother life and my trust… I am thankful to her as well CNCI Hospital where my mother treated very well.
Our family will always be grateful to Dr. Dipanwita Banerjee for guiding us through one of the most difficult phases of our lives. My mother was initially scheduled for a hysterectomy, but a D&C performed beforehand revealed malignancy. What we thought was a routine gynecological issue suddenly became a cancer diagnosis, leaving us overwhelmed and searching for the right specialist. One of the biggest lessons we learned is how important it is to consult a gynecologic oncologist when malignancy is suspected or diagnosed. The complexity of diagnosis, surgery, staging, and treatment planning requires specialized expertise, and that expertise is exactly what we found in Dr. Banerjee. From our very first consultation, she gave us confidence. She patiently explained every step, answered our questions, and helped us navigate a journey filled with uncertainty. My mother's surgery was subsequently performed under her care, and throughout the process, Dr. Banerjee demonstrated exceptional skill, professionalism, and compassion. As a daughter, watching a parent battle cancer is incredibly difficult. Knowing that my mother was in the hands of someone as experienced, dedicated, and caring as Dr. Banerjee gave our family immense reassurance. We approached her looking for one of the best gynecologic oncologists, and we found not only an outstanding doctor and surgeon but also someone who genuinely cared for her patient and her family. Thank you ma'am, for your expertise, compassion, and unwavering support. We will always be grateful.
I recently visited the Chittaranjan National Cancer Institute (CNCI), Newtown campus, for treatment under Dr. Dipanwita Banerjee (Specialist Gynaecological Oncologist). I cannot praise Dr. Banerjee and her entire team enough. The medical care, surgical expertise, and level of compassion I experienced at this state-of-the-art facility were truly outstanding. During my time there, Dr. Banerjee spoke about a critical issue that I feel responsible for sharing with everyone: A Gynecologist and a Gynecologic Oncologist are NOT the same, and mixing them up can delay life-saving care. Most of us grow up believing that a general gynecologist is the only doctor we need for any reproductive issue. However, if there is a complex pelvic mass, an abnormal biopsy, or a confirmed/suspected cancer of the cervix, ovaries, or uterus, you must consult a Gynecologic Oncologist (a cancer specialist). They have years of intensive, advanced surgical and medical oncology training that general gynecologists simply do not have. Getting to the right specialist at the very beginning drastically improves treatment success. My experience under Dr. Dipanwita Banerjee is a testament to how specialized, dedicated care changes lives. She is not only an incredibly brilliant, highly skilled specialist but also a deeply empathetic doctor who takes the time to explain everything clearly and put her patients at ease. CNCI Newtown is an incredible institution providing world-class, affordable cancer care in Kolkata. If you or a loved one are facing complex gynecological health challenges, please bypass the general clinic and ensure you are seeing a dedicated Gynaec Oncologist like Dr. Banerjee. Thank you, Doctor, and thank you CNCI!
