Cloudnine Hospital, Malad West

My second pregnancy was unexpected. Things weren't pretty good at my health side as I was recovering from covid 19 and stomach ulcer hence things were quite uncertain. What made it even more complicated was moving in to a completely new city for me ie Mumbai. Unsure about good medical facility in my nearby area I went to hospital Malad as it was a Maternity specialized hospital.There I met Dr Pooja Shukla and raised all my concern and health issues. She was a very patient with all my queries and she guided me regarding all my health concern.The first time I heard the heart beat of my baby me and my husband both were elated ♥️.But this was not it, continuously juggling from office work to handling pregnancy was getting difficult. In my second trimester I got gestational diabeties, hypertension and severe abdominal pain. Dr Pooja Shukla was always there to constantly guide, gave me best possible medications and was keeping track with multiple sonography just to ensure that both me and the baby is fine. I cannot forget her constant reminder to me that "Shipra for me both the health of baby and you is important". Be it on overnight calls or early morning checkup Dr Pooja Shukla was always there for me. As I reached my third trimester due to hypertension, uncontrollable gestational diabeties I experienced breathlessness even I couldn't feel my baby movements. My heart sank and we panicked. My family immediately contacted Dr Pooja Shukla who was not in the town recommended me to admitted in a near multi-speciality hospital. Within no time she spoke to the doctor's there and arranged everything for me even before I could reach there. I can never forget the day called me at 12 in the night and ask me about health and reiterated that for me it doesn't matter if she does the delivery or the doctor in the other hospital her priority is our safety so that we are out of danger of risking our life. My situation was brought under control and the she was constantly in touch with the doctor's there .Finally after consulting with an endocrinologist her team Dr Pooja Shukla and we decided to go for an elective C section which was still risky as it was only 33 weeks and the baby was still very premature. On 24 February my son Ved was born. 😊♥️It wasn't a easy journey but the constant support and guidance given by Dr Pooja Shukla along with the support of my family both me and my baby was healthy and happy. 😊The post operation care given my hospital was exceptionally good. The hospital rooms were very neat and clean also spacious.Staff was courteous and polite. All facilities including food and medical was good. Both me and my husband would like to thank Dr Pooja Shukla as she provided me the best in class most advanced treatment, she diagnosed my issues properly, was a constant support, her correct guidance brought us out of the risk of losing my baby and her timely tracking of growth of the child and the same time comforting me all the emotional trauma i went through. ♥️ Angels always do not come only in fairy tails but some also come with the white coat saving lives. Thank you Dr Pooja Shukla. 🧑‍⚕️

1.5 years ago, we visited a few reputed gynaecologists of Mumbai to choose our doctor. We were not yet pregnant. Our pregnancy was going to be "high risk pregnancy" due to a history of late miscarriage at 24 weeks during our previous pregnancy. Having done enough research, our conversations were centred around two topics:

- identifying the cause of our previous pregnancy loss

- understanding the plan of action during this pregnancy (to avoid any mishap)

Not fully satisifed by several renowned gynaecologists, we ended up in the cabin of Dr. Nikhil Datar. And what a fortunate day it was, for we found a doctor who answered all our questions even before we asked them. We were simply listening the entire time. It was evident that he specializes in high-risk pregnancies.

When we left his cabin that day, we were smiling ear to ear, for we knew everything is gonna be fine this time because we had Dr. Datar with us. :-)

Before we started planning again, he got me tested to rule out the causes of earlier miscarriage. Finally, we were down to two - vaginal infection and weak cervix. Both played a crucial role in our pregnancy this time as well.

When we got pregnant, he asked me to be extremely vigilant and raise as many alarms as possible. In his own words, "Feel free to raise 100 alarms. We will address all of them with full rigour. Even if 1 of them is true (rest 99 false) and we are able to address that and avoid a mishap, we would be successful". During the course of pregnancy, I suffered repeatedly from vaginal infections which were effectively managed by Dr. Datar through minimum medications. At 4 months, there was a sudden drop in the cervical length (from 4cm to 3.2cm within a week). Normal course of action in this case is cervical cerclage. But Dr. Datar managed it by putting me on bedrest for 3 months and administering progesterone tablets and injections. At 6 months I was also diagnosed with gestational diabetes.

Given all the complications, we were skeptical of crossing the 36 weeks mark, let alone have a normal delivery.

But miracles do happen! In December 2022, we delivered a healthy baby boy at 38+ weeks through normal vaginal delivery.

Undoubtedly, Dr. Nikhil Datar is the best gynaecologist in whole of Mumbai.

He is so experienced yet grounded, has a plethora of knowledge and very clear and systematic approach. On top of that, he is so jolly that he makes you smile even during the toughest situations. I had a laugh or two even during the last stage of contractions.

No words are sufficient to describe our gratitude for Dr. Nikhil Datar.

P.S.: He is always just a whatsapp text or phone call away!

Words truly fall short to express our gratitude for everything she has done for us. From the very beginning till the safe delivery of our baby girl, her compassion, personal touch, and constant concern gave us immense strength and confidence throughout this journey.My wife had a severe contraction as early as the 27th week, but with her perfect guidance, continuous support, and timely interventions, we were able to manage the situation safely and reach the 37th week. She not only treated and guided us professionally and medically throughout the entire pregnancy period, but also lifted us mentally and psychologically, helping us overcome every hurdle with confidence and positivity.She was always available on WhatsApp or calls whenever needed, without even a single instance of delayed response. Most of the time, her replies came within minutes, sometimes even seconds, which truly reflects her extraordinary commitment to professionalism combined with humanity.On the night of delivery, the way she patiently guided us till we reached the hospital, personally monitored every development, and kept us continuously informed throughout the night reflects not just her medical excellence, but her deep sense of responsibility and care. The way she repeatedly called and checked on our situation while we were travelling from home to the hospital on the night of delivery was simply heart-touching. We genuinely felt as if we were under the care, guidance, and emotional support of a close family member.Honestly, it felt that she was even more stressed and emotionally invested than us that night, ensuring that our baby arrived safely into this world. That level of involvement and concern is something we can never forget.We truly believe that it was her divine hand on us and on our baby that made this entire journey so safe, reassuring, and blessed. Her presence felt nothing short of divine to us, truly a Goddess in the form of a Doctor.Words cannot express how overwhelmed and blessed we feel because of her constant personal attention during our journey*** *** *********** *** ****** *** **** *** ** *** **** ************* ** ******* *************** *********** *** ** *** ********** *** ****** ******** ** *** *** ******* ** ** *** ** *** ************* *** **** ********* ******** *** we feel immensely fortunate that our baby came into this world under her care.Thank you, Ma’am, from the depths of our hearts, for your dedication, blessings, and for holding our hands through the most precious moment of our lives. We will remain forever grateful, Ma’am **

After 35 days of my delivery, when my immunity was still low, I suddenly developed severe stomach pain, vomiting, and was diagnosed with jaundice. Even though this was not a gynecological complication, the first person I reached out to, out of faith and complete trust was Dr. Shweta Shah, who had ensured a smooth and safe delivery for me just a month earlier. She immediately guided me over the phone, but, my condition worsened and I had to be admitted to the hospital. She continued to support me throughout, without a moment’s hesitation.

What touched us deeply was that even though my treatment was under a physician and not related to her specialty, Dr. Shweta stayed in constant touch with him, reviewed my reports directly, and even followed up with the lab herself for faster updates. She was not supposed to do any of this, yet she did, purely out of concern and humanity.

Her selflessness, her commitment to her profession, and the deep human connection she builds with her patients truly do not end here.

The moment that truly broke me was when the physician told me not to breastfeed my one-month-old baby for at least a month. As a new mother recovering from illness, this caused real emotional trauma. In that vulnerable moment, the only person I felt I could rely on was Dr. Shweta. Without me even asking, she took the time, despite her extremely busy schedule, to consult her colleagues, re-evaluate my reports, medications and call me personally to guide me on breastfeeding. She reassured me, helped me understand the situation clearly, and supported me like a trusted partner, just as she has done for the last one and half year since the beginning of our pre-pregnancy journey.

In a city like Mumbai, where every second matters, an extremely busy and highly accomplished gynaecologist of such stature still spared her precious time for us, even when my medical issue was not related to her. This speaks volumes about her unmatched professionalism, her compassion, and her extraordinary dedication to her patients.

We are truly, deeply grateful for the way she stood by us during such a difficult phase, giving her time, attention, and genuine care. Thank you, ma’am, for your selflessness and for going far beyond your duty. We remain forever indebted to you.

Lots of love, respect, and our heartfelt wishes for your bright, fulfilling, and ever progressing professional and personal journey ahead****

With deepest gratitude

Manasi, Rudra and your loving Vrinda💕 **

I cannot express enough gratitude to Dr. Nikhil for the exceptional care he provided during my high-risk twin pregnancy and delivery. From the very beginning, his calm demeanor and expertise were a sanctuary for me; he truly helped me navigate a stressful period without taking on *********** "tension," making me feel safe and informed every step of the way.​Expert Surgical Care & Innovation​When it came to my C-section, Dr. Nikhil’s immense experience was evident. He ensured the delivery was smooth and handled with the utmost precision. What truly set my recovery apart was his proactive approach—he utilized a drainage pipe for my stitches, a technique that significantly accelerated my healing process and minimized discomfort. It is rare to find a surgeon who balances technical mastery with such thoughtful post-operative care.​Compassionate Emotional Support​Beyond the physical surgery, Dr. Nikhil supported me through one of the hardest emotional hurdles a new mother can face: the guilt of being unable to breastfeed. In a society that places so much pressure on "liquid gold," I was struggling deeply. Dr. Nikhil shared an insightful article he had written on this very topic, which completely shifted my perspective and helped me overcome that guilt.​Empowering New Mothers​He didn't just stop at healing me; he empowered me. He encouraged me to share my own journey and write an article to help other struggling new moms. This level of mentorship and advocacy for maternal mental health is what makes him more than just a doctor—he is a true healer.​I highly recommend Dr. Nikhil to any woman looking for a doctor who combines world-class medical expertise with genuine, life-changing empathy.

we visited dr pooja shukla mam in our first trimester of pregnancy when i was on progesterone support after two failed iui ,this was our first successful ivf pregnancy following a laproscopic surgery of grade 4 endometriosis...me coming from a medical background i tried to contact as many seniors as possible to find the right doctor and 2 of them suggested dr Pooja's name.... considering it was a very precious pregnancy for us we wanted to make sure we see a experienced consultant with experience of handling high risk pregnancies and pooja mam was precisely the doctor for it .. during the pregnancy i developed gestational diabetes and polyhydramnios mam managed it on medication without insulin , in 8th month i had to get admitted in emergency twice once due to per vaginal bleeding and second due to dengue fever ..when i messaged her with 104 fever at 4 am mam called me at 5 am first thing when she woke up and asked me to get admitted and took prompt action with the treatment.... not just that despite of me having risk of premature labour mam helped us to carry healthy pregnancy till 38 weeks and we went ahead with a planned LSCS at fullterm without any anxiety...even during delivery there were complications ..i had post partum haemorrhage which could have risked my life but coz of pooja ma'am and her teams prompt action today me and my baby both are doing well. there are very few doctors who go beyond their call of duty to help patients and after seeing 5-6 doctors in my journey of last two years i can definitely say pooja mam is one of them.

The moment we found out we are pregnant we rushed to our nearest hospital and consulted Dr Shweta Shah. In this entire journey, We couldn’t be more thankful for having Dr Shweta Shah as our gynaecologist

Key Things To Expect When You Consult Dr. Shweta Shah

She explains the why of every process making you feel more confident about your pregnancy journey. She is patient enough to address all your queries and is never in rush. As an amateurs couple expecting our first child we couldn’t have asked for more..

She is approachable 24*7. And I literally meant it. For minor consultation you can reach out to her on what’s app and she is quick enough to respond to all doubts / queries. No unnecessary visits are required to hospital for minor consultation

She is 100% apt when it comes to judgement. She won’t advise you to take unnecessary tests, medicines or visits to hospital..

She has an eye for detail. I can vouch for the same. You won’t ever doubt the advise / consultation provided by her

She has a great sense of humour and even in difficult time she motivates the patient and keeps the environment light

In this age, where everyone prefers C-Section, she pushes hard for Normal Delivery.

Yes my wife delivered via Normal Delivery. This wouldn’t have been possible except for Dr. Shewta Shah who didn’t give up till end

She is doctor cum friend cum philosopher cum well wisher..

When your child is delivered via Dr Shewta Shah he/she is bound to have 2 Mothers. The other one in form of Dr Shweta Shah who takes care of the new born like her own mother..

My husband and I started visiting Dr. Pooja Shukla from day 1 of my pregnancy confirmation and what a wonderful experience it has been since then! I have been looking for a good gynaecologist in Mumbai since the past 5 years and have been struggling to find one who is empathetic, a listener and gives you ample time to address all your concerns etc. Thanks to my pregnancy, we happened to visit Cloudnine and we were referred to her by a friend. And honestly, my pregnancy felt like a breeze with her support and consultations. What an expert she is - regular check ups, report analysis, making me understand what's going on with my body, what and what not to expect, no unnecessary medicines or tests, patience of listening to all my queries and more so showing empathy (which is rare to find in good doctors) , explaining in detail each and every aspect of why these tests/medicines are being recommended and how will they help, friendliness and patience- she has it all!

We started with Cloudnine thinking let's start looking for a consulting gynaecologist and we might need to visit 3-4 before we find the doctor of our choice/preference and luckily enough our search started and ended with Dr. Pooja and we were confident that we were in good hands from Day 1 itself :) During the course of time we were so comfortable and confident in Dr. Pooja that we did not go to our home town where our family was and decided to deliver in Mumbai itself under her guidance :)

I am now a mother of a 1 month old boy and my pregnancy has been a wonderful experience thanks to her, all the support she provided and more so being available to answer and address the slightest queries that we had. Rarely we find a doctor who is so approachable round the clock, empathetic, patient, follow ups just to check how you are doing, and an expert on the topic! We are grateful to Dr. Pooja for such a wonderful experience and her constant support and guidance. She is now my permanent consulting gynaecologist:-)

We are glad that we met Dr.Shweta Ashok Shah.

You truly deserves all appreciation and accolades.

You are the perfect example to be a doctor with positive, encouraging, calm attitude and friendly in good way.

That gave me strength entire my pregnancy period and felt everything is normal every time whenever i visited .During the entire tenure of pregnancy she motivated me to stay active and eat healthy.She gives all advises with a smile which helps you to take it well.

She helps patient to understanding things.

Why test should happen? What patient needs to do or prepare? What would be the outcome. She is a good doctor and always provides time when you require.

She hears out the concern of the patient very well and found her extremely supportive during the consulting sessions.She was always available to help and share.

Thank you for attending our phone calls every time whenever I needed.She definitely has a personal touch with her patients.she treats all her patients like a family member and gives all great advises with a big smile.She is one with positive attitude towards everything and makes her patients comfortable.

My husband and I would like to thank you for taking such good care of me during/after the pregnancy as well as the taking part in the birth of our baby boy . We all know that the tension was high that day. Still Because of your professionalism and great smile, we felt like we were in good hands and felt very comfortable and confident knowing that you would be able to handle any situation if one was to arise.You are amazing! In this entire period, I feel blessed with the support, guidance, care and the empathy .Its a wonderful to know you. I strongly recommended all to be moms to visit Dr. Shweta Ashok Shah.

May you be blessed forever!!!!!

June 2022 is when Dr Nikhil delivered our baby girl via C Section and we are glad that we chose Dr Nikhil as our OB-GYN to carry out this procedure.Being first time parents we were unsure of the right doctor, and by doing a bit of research we heard about Dr Nikhil. The general fear that most women have about a male gynecologist was surely something that Dr Nikhil will help you overcome. We never felt uncomfortable with Dr Nikhil during our entire course of the pregnancy. He is an extremely kind and down to earth doctor who is well experienced and has a plethora of knowledge in his field of expertise. Throughout our pregnancy we were guided and assured that everything was going to be Ok. Dr Nikhil understood and explained all our doubts/ queries in lay man's terms so that we as parents were aware of what was going on with our pregnancy and our baby.We were always sceptical of having a c section as the recovery period for us would be longer, and the term 'Surgery' is something that always made us worry about. Dr Nikhil assured us that we would try our best for a normal delivery and only when he was sure that my breech baby wouldn't turn at all were we advised for a c section.During the procedure Dr Nikhil, used his experience and expertise to deliver my baby girl - who was having a double loop of cord around her neck, with the utmost care. We are pleased to say that the procedure was quick and efficient due to Dr Nikhil's years of experience. Post the delivery in the hospital Dr Nikhil visited us daily and checked on us, explaining the post delivery recovery period and precautions that we need to take.We are thankful to Dr Nikhil for all his help and we would definitely recommend him to anyone. We are also grateful to the entire Cloudnine team for their help.
