Dr. Aparnaa Panda

We have met Aparna doctor while trying to conceive early this year. By gods grace and doctor’s guidance got pregnant in June! Still we are doing all consultations with her. Would recommend to anyone who is trying to get pregnant or is in their pregnancy journey

"Hope to Real"

I checked Dr.Aparna's profile in practo and was very much impressed by her positive reviews on normal delivery. So, we decided to consult her for pregnancy check ups, we were happy about the covid safety measures taken in her clinic.I had my own birth plan like breastfeeding in the 1st one hr, delayed cord clamping and skin to skin. Dr.Aparna agreed to all of it and I was totally satisfied when she mentioned that she practices all of it. So, we convinced our parents to have the delivery in Bangalore itself instead of our native.The pregnancy went on really smooth, did walking, squatting, yoga and was active throughout the pregnancy,ensured not to gain more weight. Doctor also promised 99% for normal delivery inspite of the low water level. She suggested us to admit in Rainbow hospital in my 37th week as the baby was in Cephalic position and 2.9 kgs of weight. I was induced on Jan 25th around 8 pm, I started getting contractions but I did not dilate. Still the doctor in the ward told we will try for normal delivery till 26th Jan 12 noon if the fetal heart rate is stable. From midnight my contractions were intense, but I dilated only 3 cm by 26th Jan around 9.30 AM. Baby was distressed by then, the fetal heart rate was going down.Dr.Aparna suggested us to go for C- section, in less then 10 mins they shifted me to the operation theater. She had a wonderful team in Rainbow children's hospital, Bannerghatta road they swiftly made all the arrangements and I delivered a boy baby on 26th Jan, 10.19 AM.Baby was distressed, he had mild respiratory issue. He was shifted to NICU immediately, the doctors in the NICU took the necessary care. He was shifted to the ward in 30 hrs and we got discharged on 28th Jan. My sincere thanks to the doctors and the staffs in NICU for the treatment and care provided. Service provided at Rainbow hospital was impressive. Due to covid only my husband was allowed with me and this being our first pregnancy, things went on smooth because of kindness and support of the nurses in the ward throughout our stay.My sincere gratitude to Dr.Aparna for extending her support during my pregnancy and postpartum. She was always available in watsapp to support. She is extremely professional, *** **** *** ********* *********** ********* ** ***** *** will not panic you at any time. Though things did not go as per my birth plan, she did her best for the healthy mother and baby. Special thanks for recommending Rainbow children's hospital, we were extremely happy about the service provided.

The doctor did not clearly explain the reasons for a possible C-section, and important details about the baby’s position and condition were not properly discussed. Most communication was with the caregiver, and our questions were not answered clearly. I did not get a proper solution and would rate the visit a 2.
