South Kolkata covers a wide geography. Kasba, Jadavpur, Tollygunge, Garia, Gariahat, Ballygunge, Bhowanipore, Mukundapur, Santoshpur, and the EM Bypass corridor are all part of it. The population across this area is dense, established, and has strong demand for quality healthcare that does not require crossing the city to access.
For women’s healthcare specifically, the question is not just “is there a gynecologist nearby” but “is there a subspecialty-trained gynecologist nearby.” The answer matters because conditions like endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, and complex laparoscopic surgery require specific fellowship training that most general gynecologists in the city do not have.
Clinic locations in South Kolkata
Dr. Juhi Dhanawat, a female gynecologist with fellowship training in endometriosis surgery (France), minimal invasive gynaecology (Germany), and neuropelveology (ISON, Switzerland), consults at two South and East Kolkata locations:
Motherhood Hospital Kasba
338 Rajdanga Main Road, near Acropolis Mall, Kasba, Kolkata 700042. Motherhood Hospital is one of India’s largest dedicated women and child hospital chains. The Kasba facility has full obstetric, gynaecological, and neonatal infrastructure.
R N Tagore International Institute of Cardiac Sciences, EM Bypass
124 Mukundapur, EM Bypass, Kolkata 700099. Consultation: Wednesday, 10 AM to 12:30 PM.
For patients in Jadavpur, Santoshpur, Garia, Tollygunge, Gariahat, and the EM Bypass corridor, R N Tagore is the closest specialist consultation point. For patients in Kasba, Mukundapur, Bhowanipore, and areas near Acropolis Mall, Motherhood Hospital Kasba is the closer option.
Appointments at both locations: +91 8240886334.
What specialist gynaecological care in South Kolkata covers
The conditions Dr. Juhi Dhanawat manages at her South and East Kolkata clinics include:
Endometriosis. All four stages, including deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) involving bowel, bladder, and pelvic nerves. Laparoscopic excision, not just drainage or ablation. Fellowship trained in France and Germany.
Chronic pelvic pain with normal investigations. This is one of the most common presentations in gynaecological practice and one of the most poorly managed. Women with chronic pelvic pain whose ultrasounds and blood tests come back normal are often told the pain is psychological. In many cases the cause is a pelvic nerve disorder, which requires a neuropelveological assessment. Dr. Juhi Dhanawat is one of fewer than 10 practitioners in India with ISON-certified neuropelveology training.
PCOS. Full hormonal and metabolic workup including LH, FSH, testosterone, SHBG, AMH, fasting insulin, and thyroid function. Not just a metformin prescription.
Vaginismus and dyspareunia. Evidence-based treatment with pelvic floor physiotherapy, dilator therapy, and where indicated, Botox under anaesthesia.
High-risk pregnancy. Gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, twin pregnancy, IUGR, placenta previa, previous caesarean section, advanced maternal age.
Laparoscopic and robotic surgery. Total laparoscopic hysterectomy, laparoscopic myomectomy, ovarian cystectomy, sacrocolpopexy. 5,000+ procedures.
IUI treatment. For couples where IUI is indicated. IVF cases are referred.
Routine care. Pap smear, pelvic examination, cervical cancer screening, HPV vaccination, menstrual irregularity, contraception.
Why subspecialty training matters for South Kolkata patients
There is no shortage of gynecologists in South Kolkata. Jadavpur, Tollygunge, and Gariahat each have multiple practitioners. The gap is in subspecialty training.
For routine care, any qualified gynecologist is adequate. For endometriosis surgery, pelvic nerve disorders, robotic procedures, or complex laparoscopy, the training gap between a general OB-GYN and a fellowship-trained specialist is significant. It is the difference between a general surgeon and a colorectal surgeon. The basic degree is the same; the depth of training in specific techniques is not.
Fellowship training in endometriosis surgery (not an observership, not a CME workshop, a formal fellowship at a recognised centre abroad) is held by a small number of gynecologists in the whole of India, and fewer in Kolkata specifically.
