“Dr Kurian Joseph is an experienced, well-known gynaecologist and is a thorough professional. He will deal with all variables of culture, background, religion with compassion, understanding, patience and the best medical advice. His nursing home is always teeming with patients from various backgrounds. Joseph Nursing Home at first glance has none of that upscale, maternity hospital glam of let's say a Cloud9. But it has all the latest facilities and adopts the latest practices at a price that will pleasantly surprise you. At least, it surprised me, having shifted from the upmarket Cloud9 from Bangalore. Also, I have heard of several instances when Dr Joseph has taken one's financial circumstances into the scheme of things and still afforded them the best care. As far as pregnancy is concerned, he is one of those doctors who will attempt a normal delivery provided everything medically supports it. And only choose to do a C-section when it's an absolute must. He's one of the best surgeons around and my C-Section was a breeze, with minimal discomfort post surgery. Joseph Nursing Home is keyed to giving the best care to everyone and in that light you find many from lower middle class and poorer sections of society coming in. So a lot of their procedures, paper work is geared towards them. This might jar to a person from an upper middle class background like me. I took it for granted that the husband would be allowed in for scans. While the husband or any 1 single person is allowed into the delivery room (not applicable to C-Section delivery), the husband or other family members need to seek the Doc's permission to enter the scanning room. This is because they've had instances when the onlooker has insisted on being there in the hope of divining if it's boy or girl from just looking at the screen and tried to coerce the woman to abort. So, this is a preventive measure that I wasn't aware of, but which I initially mistook for prudishness. But regardless of whether you're offended by what seems like old-world sensibilities, their procedures are geared towards solely giving the patient the best care.”
