Her approach to care
The thread running through the reviews patients leave is not really about technique — it is about being reachable, being told what is happening, and not being rushed. That is deliberate. A woman who understands why a test is being done, what the result means and what the options are will make a better decision about her own body than one who is simply handed a prescription.
In practice that means unhurried consultations, plain explanations rather than clinical shorthand, and being contactable between visits by phone or WhatsApp. It also means being straight when an intervention is not needed. Second opinions are a routine part of this practice, and sometimes the honest answer is that the operation you were told you needed can be avoided.
Where surgery genuinely is required, the preference is always for the approach that preserves the most healthy tissue — keyhole rather than open surgery where possible, removing a fibroid rather than the whole uterus where that is a real option, and keeping the ovaries wherever it is safe to do so.

What she treats
Maternity & Pregnancy
Care that starts before you conceive and continues through delivery. That covers planning a baby, routine antenatal check-ups, pregnancies that need closer monitoring for sugar, blood pressure or twins, and normal delivery with epidural pain relief for those who want it.
Advanced Surgical Care
Most gynaecological operations no longer need a large incision. Keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery treats ovarian cysts, fibroids and endometriosis through cuts about a centimetre wide, which means less pain and going home in a day or two. Safe and legal termination of pregnancy is also provided, confidentially.
Holistic Health & Wellness
The everyday gynaecology that keeps you well: annual check-ups and Pap smears, period problems, PCOS and hormonal imbalance, difficulty conceiving, menopause, and HPV vaccination to prevent cervical cancer. Care for every stage, from a teenager's first visit to life after menopause.
Hospital attachments
Deliveries and surgery are carried out at four Mumbai hospitals, which means most patients across the western suburbs and Navi Mumbai can be treated near home.
