This post is long overdue.
I had actually planned to write this on Mother's Day as a small thank-you to one of the most important people in my journey to becoming a mother. Life got in the way and the post got delayed, but the gratitude has always been there.
We first met Dr. Aruna in 2020 after an emotionally difficult experience for us. We had received a positive result on a home pregnancy test and were overjoyed, but our happiness was cut short when I started bleeding a week later and the pregnancy did not continue. We consulted Dr. Aruna who patiently explained that it was a biochemical pregnancy and, more importantly, reassured us that it was not our fault.
The years that followed were not easy. We went through another biochemical pregnancy and then an ectopic pregnancy before finally welcoming our first child in 2022. This April, at the age of 41, I was blessed with my second child. Through every high and low of that journey, Dr. Aruna was there.
What stood out to me was not just her medical expertise, but the way she treated me as a person. *** ***** ******** ** *********** *********** ***** ** ***********. She was practical, honest, and always focused on what was truly needed. She was genuinely concerned about my well-being. There were appointments when I walked in feeling worried, disappointed, or anxious, and somehow I always walked out feeling more positive. She never gave false assurances, but she always gave us confidence, reassurance, and hope.
Today, when I look at my two children, I know that many people played a role in helping us get here. But Dr. Aruna will always hold a very special place in that journey.
Thank you Doctor, for standing by us through some of the most difficult and emotional years of our lives. Thank you for your kindness, your patience, your guidance, and your unwavering support. You have helped make our dream of becoming parents come true, and for that, we will always be grateful.
With heartfelt gratitude,
A very happy mother of two ❤️

We would like to share our wonderful experience with Dr. Aruna Muralidhar, who cared for my wife, Sriranjani, throughout her pregnancy and delivery journey. From our very first consultation until the birth of our baby and beyond, she was incredibly supportive, responsive, and compassionate.
She was always available to answer our questions, provided clear guidance at every stage, and made us feel confident and reassured throughout the journey. What truly stands out is her genuine care for her patients—she treats every woman with kindness, respect, and personal attention.
On a personal note, whenever my wife felt anxious or uncertain during the pregnancy journey, I would always tell her, “Trust God and trust Dr. Aruna Mam .” That was the level of confidence and faith we had in her care and guidance. One quote that I have always believed in is: “Stand still, God will fight for us.” Throughout this journey, Dr. Aruna Mam expertise and support gave us the strength and reassurance to live by those words.
We are deeply grateful for her support and highly recommend Dr. Aruna Muralidhar to anyone looking for an exceptional gynecologist.
Thank you, Doctor, for taking such great care of Sriranjani and helping us welcome our little one safely into the world. We will always remember your support and care during this special chapter of our lives.
