“I was made to feel very comfortable by my doctor”

“I visited Dr. Sathe for an abortion wen I was 23. This was before I was married. She was extremely professional. I never felt judged by her or her team. I appreciated that. I would have liked more information in the form of an explanation of the procedure. I have found though, that she is not very forthright with information. You have to ask her questions if you want to find out what's wrong with you (happened with me when I visited her later with other problems).”

“Dr.Gandikota was most respectful and supportive of my choice to not have children. There was no judgment and no censure in her tone or behaviour. She also advised against certain birth control based on my own health issues and recommended that the onus of birth control be on me and my partner jointly. She is a gentle and kind person and has always made me feel comfortable.”

“I went to Dr Gadhikar for my first (and only) pregnancy. I initially thought she was too brusque but I began to appreciate this no-nonsense way of interaction from her side. She was always available over the phone and once opened her clinic early morning when I developed sudden back pain during the last leg of my pregnancy. She's a very careful doctor who does not take any chances. I went into labour on a Sunday but she still came to check on me after I'd been admitted in the hospital though I was in 'pre-labour' and nowhere close to delivery. She did her best to make a natural delivery possible but when the labour did not progress after many many hours of trying, she decided to do a C-sec after asking me if I was okay with it as well. She was very supportive after delivery as well. She ticked off the nurses who were bugging me to give my daughter formula and supported my decision to breastfeed whole-heartedly. She taught me how to do it as well. I'm immensely grateful to Dr.Gadhikar and I still can't talk about her without feeling a little sappy!”

“The Doctor's non judgmental about lifestyle choices; however, she made it a point to ensure I knew the pitfalls and possible complications of the choices I'd made, offering me alternatives; something I greatly appreciated.”

“She has already been reviewed and I went to her on the basis of that review. She was reviewed by a woman who wanted to have a baby and had a 'good' experience. But I found her to be like the usual Indian gynaec, non-judgemental to some extent, but commercial all the same. I had to go through some expensive tests prescribed to labs she knew and then asked to get pregnant asap even though we wanted to discuss options for being child free.”
