Patient Experience
My 78-year-old father had a severely blocked leg artery and could barely walk. Dr. Banerjee didn't just see a case - he saw a person who loved his morning walks. His gentle approach and clear explanation of the angioplasty procedure put us all at ease. Post-surgery, Dad's walking to the park again! The way Dr. Banerjee followed up personally, even calling on Sunday to check, shows he practices medicine with heart.
Rushed to Manipal's emergency at 2 AM with what I thought was a severe cramp - turned out to be a deep vein thrombosis. Dr. Banerjee's calm demeanor during the crisis was remarkable. He explained the blood thinners and monitoring process while simultaneously coordinating the nursing team. His ability to handle emergency pressure while making patients feel safe is truly special. (Patient of Dr. Banerjee)
As a 12-year-old with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, I've seen many doctors who talk to my parents over my head. Dr. Banerjee was different - he knelt down to my eye level, showed me diagrams of veins, and let me ask questions. When he said 'Your body is amazing at healing, we're just helping it along,' I finally felt like part of my own treatment team. (Patient of Dr. Banerjee)
Came for a routine varicose veins consultation expecting a quick prescription. Instead, Dr. Banerjee spent 45 minutes mapping my venous system with ultrasound, explaining how my job as a teacher standing all day affected circulation. His preventive approach - suggesting compression stockings and specific exercises before considering surgery - showed he cares about long-term health, not just quick fixes. (Patient of Dr. Banerjee)
After a complex aortic aneurysm repair that three other surgeons had declined, Dr. Banerjee's confidence wasn't arrogance - it was backed by meticulous planning. The 7-hour surgery went perfectly, but what impressed me more was his transparency about risks and his team's round-the-clock monitoring afterward. This man doesn't just operate - he architects recovery. (Patient of Dr. Banerjee)
Follow-up visit for my diabetic foot ulcer felt more like catching up with a concerned friend. Dr. Banerjee remembered my granddaughter's exam results from our last conversation six months ago! His attention to both medical details and personal context makes each visit feel comprehensively caring rather than clinically rushed. (Patient of Dr. Banerjee)
Watching Dr. Banerjee handle my husband's carotid artery stenosis was like watching a master craftsman. Every decision - from timing the surgery to selecting stents - felt precisely calibrated. His ability to translate complex vascular anatomy into simple metaphors ('Think of it as highway construction for your blood') helped us understand and trust the process completely. (Patient of Dr. Banerjee)
As a medical student observing vascular surgeries, I specifically requested to shadow Dr. Banerjee. His teaching style is extraordinary - he doesn't just demonstrate techniques but explains the 'why' behind every clip and suture. The way he respects every member of the OR team, from newest intern to senior nurse, models the kind of physician I hope to become. (Patient of Dr. Banerjee)
Emergency bypass surgery after a motorcycle accident severed arteries in my leg. Dr. Banerjee's team worked with incredible speed, but what stays with me is how he held my hand before anesthesia and said 'We'll rebuild what the road took away.' His blend of technical excellence and human connection turned my worst day into a story of hope. (Patient of Dr. Banerjee)
Brought my 85-year-old mother for a second opinion about her leg amputation. Dr. Banerjee reviewed her files and proposed a limb-salvage procedure others hadn't considered. His innovative thinking gave us three more years with Mom walking independently. He doesn't see age as a limitation but as a consideration in crafting personalized solutions. (Patient of Dr. Banerjee)
Routine follow-up for my Raynaud's syndrome became extraordinary when Dr. Banerjee noticed subtle nail bed changes I'd missed. His early detection of a developing condition prevented serious complications. This man sees what others don't - he practices medicine with both microscope and wide-angle lens simultaneously. (Patient of Dr. Banerjee)
As a patient with rare vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, I've encountered many puzzled doctors. Dr. Banerjee spent his weekend researching latest protocols and connected me with an international specialist network. His humility in saying 'I don't know everything, but I'll find who does' is the mark of a truly great physician. (Patient of Dr. Banerjee)
Post-operative care for my arteriovenous malformation felt like having a personal medical guardian. Dr. Banerjee gave me his personal number for after-hours concerns and responded to midnight texts within minutes. In an era of faceless healthcare, he maintains the sacred doctor-patient covenant with every heartbeat. (Patient of Dr. Banerjee)
