To start with the doctor and her behaviour is just above 5 stars or above 100 stars too. Very friendly, very professional, very approachable, very much experienced and looks like a supermodel very much maintained and classy. Me and my family was too scared for a normal delivery as this was my first time but Dr Merlin was the only one who gave me hopes that I could easily pass through this. She is definitely not less than a goddess I'm so so lucky to have chosen my delivery in her hands. Coming to her service I would recommend every pregnant women to her consulting she explains things very much in details and she always gives hope for good.. i had a condition of low lying placenta but the way she handled it was really amazing. To be more precise I'm a married woman for almost 1 and half year but with a condition called vaginismus, I'm sure if someone is going through this cannot even imagine to have a normal vaginal delivery but with Dr Merlin any condition can be surpassed and with god's grace i delivered a girl baby without any complexity.. it was such an amazing experience such a smooth delivery I'm very much interested in making babies again ๐๐ i remember the first consultation when I requested Dr Merlin to perform a C-section on me as I was horrified with viginal delivery stories she promised me she will make sure I will get through this easily and now I'm ready for the 2nd one. To conclude i and my family would forever be thankful to the service of Dr Merlin and her team they are all the best of the best she have.. just follow her instructions do not miss any medications and rest leave it to her(right) hands. Thank you Dr Merlin again for my delivery it was a delightful experience hope to see you soon ๐

*** ****** ** *** **** ****** * **** **** ***** she always put her level best effort and support for mother-to-be to deliver baby normally and she is very professional. I delivered my son 2 years back, at that time my mind set was at big city like Bangalore we will not have vaginal delivery it is going to be c section. Our Dr.Merlin from 5th month itself started telling "Don't worry you will deliver normally" that gave me at most confidence. Doctor is very cool headed, soft spoken, ****** ************** dedicated, supportive, good leader. she leads her team at labor ward in such a synchronization that till baby comes out no one will get distracted. Dr. Merlin suggests many exercises starting from third trimester to have a healthy and normal delivery. These exercises are really helpful and we feel active too. There are classes conducted for teaching Prenatal exercises at many hospitals on request and charged separately. For Dr.Merlin, practicing OBG and gynec is a service I guess. Pre and Post pregnancy support was tremendous. After 6 months when i have to join back my job I asked suggestion to stop milk production with our Dr. Merlin (I thought she prescribes some medicine), to my surprise she asked me to have cabbage which reduces milk naturally also, she gave me two more options too. She prescribes a mild medicine and not a high dosage one, I really astonished to see such doctor in this time period. She is always available on call, on whatsapp. My sister also had a normal delivery with Dr. Merlin's guidance. We both delivered at Motherhood hospital Indiranagar, I found a huge difference in the hospital (it was good then) but not with our doctor. She was the same like always caring, guiding and supporting. I feel very proud to say i was treated by Dr.Merlin. Thanks a ton Doctor!!!

*** ** *** ****** ******* * **** **** ******* It was my first pregnancy and was new in Bangalore..my neighbor had suggested her name with few other doctor names.. we met all the doctors suggested by friends and people around and finally felt satisfied with Dr. Merlin.. from day 1 of my appointment till the time of my delivery, she has been such a sweetheart * **** *** ** * ******* ******. you can completely trust her and she ensures it is her responsibility that we deliver normally. Well, mine is normal and a healthy delivery too.. There was a situation during my delivery where I completely gave up and wanted to go for c-sec/painless(which ever gives quick comfort to the pain I was goin through) but the way she handled the situation with such an ease.. kudos to her!! She just said one thing to my family with full confidence.. โShe has all the chances to deliver normally and SHE WILL.. if the process takes more time I may send her back home and call again when she is ready for delivery but I will not go for c-sec or painless for that matter.. so donโt worry !!โSo much positivity around her and confidence she carries and delivers is commendable.. And this kind of atmosphere from a doctor is very much required for a carrying women..I had few interactions with her other clients as well.. they too were so positive about Dr. Merlin.. I mean there were people who were coming for their 2nd delivery or will be a member of same family who would have earlier consulted her and all had normal deliveries (trust me all the people I interacted with, had normal deliveries). Thatโs the kind of trust she has with her clients.. I canโt stop praising her because I atleast know what she has given to me..it definitely means a lot to me! And I canโt thank enough for the same. Thank you so much again Maโam.. much love!!

I found doctor Merlin's information on practo when I was looking for OBGYNs in my area. I honestly could not bless my stars enough to have found such a wonderful doctor. First she prioritizes her patients, despite calling her at odd times or msging at 3am in the morning and she replies immediately. Secondly she takes the time to explain everything, I never feel like I'm doing something and not know why. She is extremely professional, and a well respected doctor in het field. I noticed the way that she was treated in the hospital I delivered in, although she was their consultant but still very humble. even though I probably asked a lot of questions, she never showed that attitude of impatience or self importance. I had a healthy pregnancy and a successful delivery because of her. Although I had to go for a c section because of complications, she personally came for the delivery. Knowing she was there made me feel calm. Post which, she came and checked on my everyday even though the hospital wasn't in the area of her clinic or home. If I am still in India by the time I'm ready to have my second baby, I will still go to her. Thank you Doc for everything. God Bless you!

For our second baby we already planned for Dr.Merlin who is gyneac who is always kind and care with everyone. After my first delivery I had got medical issues like muscle and nerve including platelets. But she is the only one who gave me support and moral strength with great care throughout my pregnancy. She is always reachable when we are in need . Everyone used to get scared to handle me but she has taken lot of effort and given treatments with great care like a mother. For all pregnant ladies , there must arise so many questions through out the pregnancy about the mother health and the feotus . She is very patience in giving clarities on all our questions. Right from plan of pregnancy and till delivery we dint even get any delivery tension as she has done all end to end analysis with care . After successful delivery , she never left me unattended once delivery is done and she used to come more often like a family to avoid any discomfort for the patient's health and made me more comfortable. With my personnel experience which big hospital you are delivering your baby is not important . Like other even I planned for other big hospitals but safety and happy delivery is important which i realised after seeing my doctor Merlin. We had a great experience and happy period of pregnancy and delivery . If anyone wants 100% happy and safe delivery I would always recommend my dr.Merlin. For us she is like a visible Goddess who gave us life.

I would highly recommend Dr. Merlin ma'am. She is very friendly and truly compassionate towards her profession. A person whom anyone can trust. I had my second child and yes it was again a normal delivery like the first one. First child I had to undergo labor pain for about 33 hours and this time it was 35-36 hours. I still remember my D-day, where I was totally exhausted and for the second child I had forced doctor to get the C-section done as I couldn't bear the pain, I used to call her almost every 1.5 hours that night and was asking for a C-section. Should mention that, she was so calmly answering my every calls and was convincing and motivating me that I can do a normal delivery. Maybe with the torture I used to give her, and if there were to be any other doctor maybe they would have done a C-section.. Haha ๐
Finally early morning I delivered a baby (normal delivery) . Post my first delivery I had recommended her to many of my friends and they were all happy with the doctor and personally thanked me and my husband for referring her.
In person she is definitely an inspiration to many woman's handling both personal and professional life. Thank you so much doctor. Happy Doctor's day. We wish you a a good health,wealth and prosperity. Stay blessed. ๐

I visited Dr.Merlin for my second pregnancy. With a previous C-section and history of high weight gain during my first pregnancy, second time I was determined to have a normal delivery. Dr.Merlin was very encouraging from day 1 and confident that I can have normal delivery. In the current times, when doctors rarely suggest to go for a VBAC, Dr. Merlin came across as an exception. She is a strong advocate of natural birth and its highly commendable.
Dr.Merlin is a very genuine person and is always concerned about your well being. She was always available on phone/whatsapp, throughout the pregnancy and also post delivery. She is very patient, spends enough time and explains everything in detail. Being a working professional, thanks to Dr.Merlin's guidance, I remained fit throughout my pregnancy and was able to work till the last week of my due date.
Though I couldn't delivery naturally due to last minute complications, Dr. Merlin ensured my emergency C-section went through smoothly. Her pre and post delivery tips on lactation helped a great deal and ensured adequate milk production from day one.
I highly recommend Dr. Merlin for her exemplary knowledge, patience and friendly nature. Always grateful to her for a healthy pregnancy and delivery :-)

********* ** *** ** *** **** ****** ** ********** She was referred by one of my wife's friends. My wife and i started visiting her from the 3rd month,as our previous clinic was far away from the residence.I would recommend this doctor for the patience she carries also providing necessary advices from time to time. Unfortunately my wife had some complications during the pregnancy period. We were also worried about the C section procedure, as we had a notion that most of the patients with BP and sugar could undergo C section. However, Dr. Merlin from day one she was confident about my wife having a normal delivery; inspite the complications my wife had, also to mention-this is her very first pregnancy. She had given all necessary details and steps to follow. My wife made sure that she followed all the advices given by the doctor. Finally with god's grace, we are happy that it was a normal delivery. We are so happy enough today, to thank her all the time whenever we recall the challenges of pregnancy period. We wish her all the very best. of the b Wishing you all the very best.
