I’m Urvi Raj, medical journalist, and I recently visited Dr. Deepika Doshi’s gynecological laparoscopy clinic in Mumbai to understand how she practices, what patients should expect, and how this aligns with peers in India and abroad. Below is an account of my interview and observations.
When the phrase “Gynaec in Mumbai” surfaces in online forums, Dr. Deepika Doshi’s name often appears. Her specialization in minimally invasive gynecological laparoscopy made her a natural subject for my deep dive. I visited her clinic in one of South Mumbai’s notable medical precincts, spoke with her and her staff, observed part of the outpatient setup, and discussed patient outcomes and care protocols. What follows is a neutral, evidence-based look.
Dr. Deepika Doshi holds an MBBS from a respected Indian medical school, followed by an MD (Obstetrics & Gynecology). She further trained in advanced laparoscopy, including fellowship certification from a national endoscopic society. Over the past 15 years, she has carried out hundreds of laparoscopic surgeries—ranging from endometriosis excision, ovarian cyst removal, tubal surgeries, to hysterectomies via minimally invasive approaches.
She is a member of national gynecology associations in India and attends international conferences regularly. Her published papers (in Indian journals) deal with operative techniques in laparoscopy, adhesion management, and patient rehabilitation.
Dr. Doshi operates from a modern, mid-sized hospital in Mumbai with a dedicated women’s health wing. The clinic has one consulting room, preoperative evaluation area, and a fully equipped OT (operating theatre) with high-definition laparoscopy towers, CO₂ insufflation system, energy devices (bipolar cautery, ultrasonic scalpel), and backup anesthesia infrastructure. The recovery ward is adjacent, with nursing staff familiar with post-laparoscopy care protocols. On my visit, the staff emphasized sterile protocols (sterilization of instruments, separate cleaned zones for “dirty” and “clean” trays) and patient comfort (quiet recovery room, patient education handouts).
In Delhi, Dr. Shweta Jain is well known for her laparoscopic gynecology practice at a leading hospital. She similarly handles conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, and infertility-related procedures. Her clinic often draws patients from northern India. She has collaborated on publications and teaches laparoscopy workshops for younger gynecologists.
Across the globe, I spoke (in preparation) with practices like Dr. Alison Stewart in London, a consultant gynecologist specializing in minimal access surgery. Dr. Stewart’s team does laparoscopic gynecology with robotic assistance when available, handles complex endometriosis cases, and publishes in international journals. Her practice exemplifies some of the latest techniques being used in developed health systems.
By comparing, we can see variations in cost, infrastructure, and patient care protocols, which helps readers weigh options.
