After consulting Dr. Aruna online, we felt really confident to meet her in-person. We travelled from Vijayawada to Bangalore just to consult her in-person.
Dr. Aruna took enough time and thoroughly understood what my wife went through because of PMDD. She was empathetic towards her condition. She also appropriately looked at all the possibilities (conception, egg freezing) and took our opinion on it. She looked at what could be the future repercussions of the GnRh-a treatment and advised us on what all precautions we can take and what we need to periodically keep checking.
She has been really thorough and gave us the confidence to go ahead with the treatment.
One of the best doctors that we have met so far.
Thank you, Dr. Aruna

I recently had the pleasure of being under the care of Dr. Aruna Murlidhar during my third trimester and for the delivery of my baby boy on February 13th, 2024. Doctor was the kindest throughout the entire process and her dedication to her patients is unparalleled. From the moment I met her, I felt at ease knowing I was in capable hands. She patiently addressed all of my concerns, providing thorough explanations and thoughtful guidance at every step.
What truly impressed me was Doctor's commitment to ensuring the best possible outcome for myself and my baby during labour. When I expressed my desire for a normal delivery, she remained attentive to all potential complications that may arise and had a comprehensive plan in place, including the availability of necessary medical staff during labour. She's the sweetest person to talk to who always has a smile on her face and I miss meeting her and talking to her. I had a wonderful time during all my visits due to her and an amazing normal delivery experience with doctors guidance and support during labour. I was very well looked after during the entire labour process and after delivery.

We recently visited Dr. Aruna Muralidhar during early pregnancy. She explained the next steps with a lot of patience and was open to answering all our questions no matter how small. She also conducts online group sessions with her pregnant patients (and their partners) where she gives out the guidelines for daily routines such as diet, exercise, rest, work etc and again clears all our doubts. She conducts more detailed workshops regarding labor etc for women who are further in their pregnancy. I hope to attend these at a later stage. These workshops save quite a lot of time during the consultation and also helps us understand Dr. Aruna's methods and style of care. Overall we've had a good experience with Dr. Aruna Muralidhar.

If you are looking for a doctor who is the perfect balance of patience, expertise and warmth - then your search is over. We consulted Dr. Aruna all through my pregnancy journey and she has been a boon for us as she gave us the best advice at every step. Especially, in the third trimester - Dr. Aruna gave us the timely advice to opt for a c-section due to some unforeseen complications. She handled the procedure remarkably well and ensured that both the mother and baby were safe. Very grateful to Dr. Aruna and would always recommend her to every couple that is getting ready to be parents.
