We would like to start by mentioning “Thank you very much, Thanks a lot to Dr. Mekhala mam, we are blessed with baby boy”
We would like to share our part of story so it could helpful for other parents expecting and especially those who are living abroad and trying to become parents.
We are from USA, we were trying to concieve for 5 years and had gone various fertility treatments in US but all went in vain due to no proper diagnosis done by Drs, insurance not covering fertility related treatments after 3 failed IUIs we had completely lost hope of becoming a parent.
Dr Mekhala was referred by my sister in law and my brother who came to know through her relative, As a first step, we shared all our reports done in US and had a online consultation, she assured us, that we can get pregnant.
Next issue was our Indian travel plans and it was during covid time, that delayed for another year, after that we travelled by taking a months leave, I would like to appreciate and thank Dr. Mekhala, she took personal interest in our case and did all diagnosis with in that month and were referred to different Drs like Dr Chaithra and Dr Srinivas for further treatment.
It was all so well planned and managed during my leave, Dr Mekhala mam really made it happen during my leave.
After all the diagnosis and treatment, we were finally concieved with gods grace and with Dr Mekhala mams help, but there was another shock waiting for us, my wife was diagnosed with Single Umblical Artery during the intial scan, that brought us lots of worries and tears.
But Again it was Dr. Mekahala mam, who gave instructions, gave motivation, gave assurance, gave confidence and with extra montioring, Dr. Mekhala personally delivered our baby boy which brought only happy tears 🥲 to us.
All the parents who are going through similar kind of issues like SUA or infertility or couples living in abroad, please do visit Dr. Mekhala, she will surely make your dreams come true, what more is needed for a couple than becoming parents.
Another good thing about Dr Mekhala mam is her belief in God which brings lots and lots of positivity in you and also she suggests to visit good temples if required that brings lots of confidence. Please always trust your midwife or Dr. Mekhala and please follow all the guidelines or prescriptions provided by Dr. The Journey for an year would be a roller coaster with lots of ups and downs but in the end it would be all worth it.
We would like to end my story by thanking Dr Mekhala mam for giving us the best gift of our life time.

Well, I am not sure I should call her Dr. Mekhala or Dr. Angel. For her brilliant treatment I become a mother. I had multiple complications post conception for which I had miscarriage in my previous pregnancy. She is the one who diagnosed and identified the problems and treated those. During pregnancy also so many problems came but Mekhala mam handled all the problems by her brilliant quick decision. She identified that might have preterm delivery. That is why after completing 28th week, she prescribed two steroid injections so that baby's lungs will be developed and matured. Because of all the treatments she provided, even though I had preterm delivery at 32 weeks, there were no complications.No word is enough to express my gratitude towards her. Not only she, Guha sir's perfection in pregnancy scan made my pregnancy journey successful.All the sisters and staffs of Icchaa are very helpful and supportive. Me and my family will be forever grateful to Mekhala mam.

You are not only amazing doctor but a wonderful human being your kindness,commitment , timely advise the way you counseled and encouraged us during hard times will always be remembered.Sharing my own experience. We met Dr Mekhala in Ss clinic and I was diagnosed with low amh count ,initially I was given medication and was encouraged for natural pregnancy unfortunately it did not work for me , hence we were recommended for ivf. During scan she identified There to be a septum in the uterus and advised us to undergo hysteroscopy. I was also diagnosed with autoimmune disorder ( nk cell deficiency) with all these complications it was not easy journey with out her encouragement and emotional support.We had to wait 3 months after hysteroscopy ( to heal) for first ivf cycle. I conceived during first cycle Dr guha performed NT scan Unfortunately baby 's nasal bone and stomach bubble was not appearing. He righty identified baby to have down syndrome.Just for reconfirming what Dr guha has already noticed during scan, recommended us to get scan done from his mentor .He came in person to diagnostic while i was getting scan done from his mentor and reviewed the same, Took a call to get amniosynthesis done . Dr guha is such a kind person despite of lockdown and his busy schedule he was always in touch with us, he also arranged amniosynthesis for us in a different hospital. On the day of procedure he arrived to the hospital even before we could reach there and spoke to doctor about my case and was present during the procedure which was such a emotional support for us . Later we got the report which says down syndrome hence we had to discontinue pregnency . Both Dr mekhala and guha were so empathetic . They were extended family to us.When there was tears and tragedy they were shoulder and hope for us .As it was genetic disorder we were recommended for donor egg. We were always patient we knew we are in good hands and waiting for the miracle.6 months post miscarriage we tried again My second ivf was also unsuccessful due some underlying issue had to again under go hysteroscopy. Dr mekhala reassured us to keep the hope alive as good things are yet to come.We did try again after 3 months. I conceived again this journey was also rollercoaster for us i had bleeding and was totally terrified , I messaged her at 12.45 am she immediately called me, calms me down ' saying every thing will be fine nothing to worry. She reads all the reports diligently and address all our queries on time. She works round the clock and will always the there for her patients . everything went well had safe delivery and healthy baby .Dr mekhala and Dr guha 's guidance and support during my pregnancy are invaluable we are always indebted to you .A big thanks to iccha staff for supporting us . Front desk soniya mam and catherine mam were very kind and supportive during our visits.

If anyone has lost hope of having a child, then please read this review patiently which I am writing of my own experience I and my wife Vishala had been trying our baby since two years with 2 different doctors, the year 2018 was with a gynecologist and after treatment with 2 failed IUI's conclusion was to go for IVF as amh was low
the year 2019 took consultation with an infertility specialist, and then with the experimentation of 5 IUIs, again failed and also hysterolaparoscopy the decision was to go for IVF. With all the treatment we were drained physically emotionally ,financially and then decided to go for IVF
We were searching for who is the best IVF consultant in Bangalore, and with reference from Dr. Thobbi who happens to be our angel got us introduced to Dr. Mekhala, *** *** ** *** **** *** ********** * * *** *** *** **** **** **** it is not an exaggeration for a couple who have tried everything, spent lakhs of rupees and with no result
It would be unfair to say previous doctors were not helpful they tried the best possible but somewhat maybe we failed because may be right diagnosis failed.
Once We met Dr. Mekhala and showed previous reports she was confident in the diagnosis of polymorphic behavior and new blood reports proved her right, she told us that there is no need of IVF for now, we will go ahead with IUI.
With different protocol treatments, we succeeded in achieving pregnancy in second IUI by the magical hands of Dr. Mekhala who I fondly call madam and we are in the happiest moment and expecting twins soon.
She is another name for "HOPE"
Her calm approach makes us comfortable and stress-free, once you meet her you will come back saying "nothing to worry Mekhala madam is there"
She takes detailed care of her patients along with expert scans by Radiologist Dr. Sankara Guha and support by the Icchaa team.
Every Test she does, she reads the reports in detail and will even call you at night at 11.00 pm if there is some problem and which needs to be addressed soon. once such an incident was with us during the 7th week of pregnancy there were urine ketone bodies that were detected and madam informed at the right time and the problem was addressed.
I have never seen so much passionate Doctor who is there for patients 24x7.
Thank you Mekhala Madam.
Thanks a ton.

Priya and I are married for 10 years and from our second year of marriage we started visiting the gynaecologist with no result. They referred us to infertility specialists and we went through many of them based on their referrals and referrals from friends and went through several unsuccessful IUIs and IVFs. We were drained financially, physically, and emotionally. We were totally fed up and lost all hopes in medical science and trusted only God to help us when Dr. Prabha Nambiar recommended Dr. Mekhala to us and reluctantly I took my wife to her. Our first meeting itself was so pleasant and I felt like God is talking to us through mam. Her clinic has some divine power that a believer can immediately feel it. She assured us that if we give her enough time and co-operate with her, she will ensure that Priya carries home a baby with God's grace and as a last attempt, I agreed to it. In just 10 months from that meeting, Priya was pregnant with twins and as I write this thank you note my babies are 2 months old. I don't have words to express my gratitude to Mekhala mam, her lovely brother Dr Guha and her extremely committed staff members. Together as a team, they take care of us so very well that no amount of Thank you is enough. I today tell all my friends that if they want to think about infertility treatment then the only place that they should visit is Icchaa. Everything else is almost a chance that you are taking and when you can have access to assured results why would you not go here. May God almighty continue to bless Mekhala mam, her team, and may Icchha Clinic grow to great heights to fulfil the parenting dream of all aspiring couples.

After 5 long years wait we blessed with Baby girl with Dr Mekhala Madam treatment. Initially when we are new to Bangalore we met Dr Aparna who works in Abhayahasta Hospital ,C V Raman Nagar. for infertility She was suggested Doctor Mekhala. From Then our journey started with Madam. From the day one we trusted madam and followed what ever she suggests. She treated us like a family and suggest me like a Sister (i became favorite patient to madam).in these 5 years journey there are ups and downs and madam told only one thing u trust me, i will do rest. She is having lot of patience and explain you the issue clearly and gives you strength with her words. Our trust became true and we have a baby today. We can not thank her enough for what Madam has done for us.
During this journey the things that we observed about her, I’ll put objectively.
1. She is very confident with her decisions regarding the treatment and very precise with medications. This approach of her, removed all the doubts from our mind.
2. Even though she is very busy with work, you can expect a reply from her on WhatsApp or call to your queries.
3.During visits to her she always remembers the discussions during the past visits and sometimes even the values of previous test results. A doctor having this kind of personal attention to each case is incredible.

Our sincere and heart-felt gratitude to Dr.Mekhala for the compassion and care provided, which helped in realizing our long cherished dream to have a baby. 14 years of waiting and countless consultations had left us utterly frustrated and sad. As they say, the best is reserved for the last, most fortunately we got acquainted with Dr.Mekhala and met her at Icchaa. She demonstrates the hallmark qualities of a great doctor from the word go - compassion with the best possible care. Every consultation with her is a morale booster, which instills the much needed confidence to proceed as per her guidance. The consultation and treatment is extremely transparent, with proper explanation of the situation and guidance for the next steps. She has an excellent team of support staff at Icchaa who are caring and competent. After 8 months of consultation and treatment, my wife conceived and today we have the greatest gift in our hands - our bundle of joy, thanks for Dr. Mekhala. I see two meanings for the word Icchaa, Dr.Mekhala's "Passion to serve" which helps her patients to realize their wish (Icchaa) to have a baby. Our sincere thanks to the radiologist Dr.Guha and gynecologist Dr.Swetha Kamath for the excellent care provided. Best wishes to Dr. Mekhala and her team for greater success. Recommend any childless couple to visit Dr.Mekhala for the best guidance and treatment.

One who comes to ICCHAA with a desire to have a baby, are definitely blessed with baby. We are one such example who are recently blessed with a baby boy after 10 years of marriage life.
ICCHAA is not like a clinic rather a divine place with godly vibes and Dr Mekhala is extremely positive and committed to her patients for 100% fruitful results
She takes time to understand her patient on how their body reacts to various medication and suggests medication accordingly with personal care.
Dr Mekhala is very calm & polite in clearing all our doubts and are available any time.
There were ups and down during the treatment and at one point of time, though I gave up with treatment however she never gave up and the result is in my hands now as a healthy baby.
We are really blessed to get introduced to Dr Mekhala and grateful to her.
We cant THANK YOU enough Dr Mekhala for your prayers, care, dedication commitment towards us.

From the bottom of our hearts we express the gratitude towards Dr.Mekhala , Who is really a goddess in our life. Because of her efforts today we are holding our happiness in our hands after a long journey. We were trying to have children for the past five years and was fed up with all the trials made by other doctors. Finally by Gods grace we were referred to Dr.Mekhala who ruled out the issue in the first consultation itself. And she clearly explained the severity in our case i.e unicornuate uterus, Mentally supported a lot and assured 100% success. As she assured, now we are enjoying the happiness in parenting.
As we observed, She clearly grasps the mental status of every patient and provides maximum support. In addition to her efforts Dr. Shankar Guha, Radiologist will increase the flavor of success in every case by giving the right decision at right point of time. (In our case to get the C-section done at 36 weeks coming to ICHHA team, All are very friendly and caring)
We strongly recommend Dr.Mekhala for any type of critical and unsolvable in-fertility issues, Nobody will return back from her without having a child in their hands
Thanks you , Thanks a lot to our Goddess
