— Patient since 2021“Dr. Banerjee is an exceptional physician. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and provides an extraordinary level of service and patient care. He embodies the best of what one would hope for in a personal care physician. And, as an added benefit, he does not overbook and honors appointment times.”
— Patient since 2018Dr. Banerjee accepted responsibility in connection with a prior matter in which he served as a contracted medical director for a hospice organization. His role was limited to a stipend as a physician reviewer; he was not a principal in the organization and did not share in its profits. Prosecutors acknowledged his more limited culpability relative to others involved.
The sentencing court declined to restrict his ability to practice medicine, finding such a prohibition overly broad. Multiple state medical boards, including the Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing, have continued his licensure in good standing, reflecting their determination that the matter does not impair his competence or fitness to practice. He remains committed to the highest standards of patient care.
