Would highly recommend Dr.Manjula Deepak for anyone who is looking for a smooth & confident pregnancy phase.Thanks Vignesh & Aishwarya

I am fortunate to have had Dr. Manjula Deepak as Gynaec specialist for my wife. Way back in 2018-19, 5 Years back she had helped us to become proud parents of our sweet and beloved little princess. She has helped us become parents for the second time now that too with twins. Thanks to Dr. Manjula for her demonstration of due diligence and her guidance towards our successful and most memorable phase of attaining parenthood. We are now blessed with twin baby boys both in their best of health and weight. She is awesome as a doctor, especially in placing the right focus on each of her patients. Surprisingly, as not to be seen in most of the doctors, she diligently remembers each detail of the health conditions of her patients, their medications, their allergies and follow-up dates, etc. Apart from a great doctor, Dr. Manjula is a great soul as well who aims at serving the society with her best possible efforts and capacity. She is right there when there is a need may it be any part of the midnight or day time. Really perplexed to see the way she manages between her consultations and delivery cases effectively without injustice to either. She visits the scan rooms personally many times to ensure proper understanding on the case. Also, I would not forget mentioning the way she explains and encourages her patients to make them aware of some of the treatments/procedures like cervical encirclage etc and helps take right decisions during the course of pregnancy - Only to ensure the best for her patients. This, to a great extent helps towards the very high success rates that she delivers. Another great thing that we have noticed in Dr. Manjula
is the result-oriented & efficient planning that she does. I am grateful to the Almighty God that he connected us with this awesome doctor. She is also available on messaging apps/platforms for quick doubts/clarifications, which is one of the greatest assets of consulting with her.
Overall, I would definitely suggest/insist my friends/colleagues to Dr. Manjula Deepak without a second choice !
Along with Dr. Manju Deepak, I am thankful to cloudnine & the staff who stood with us in every step to ensure that we achieve parent-hood gracefully !!
All The Best and may God bless you,

I wish to share my experience with Manjula mam. I had a cardiomyopathy issue from my childhood. I got married nd immediately got pregnant. But many doctors advised strictly against pregnancy since it was very risky for my life nd not to continue further. So two times we terminated the baby within 50days of pregnancy. I was very depressed and longing badly for a child in our life. By God's grace we were shifted to Bangalore because of my husband's job nd came to know about Dr.Manjula mam. I got pregnant third time nd visited mam. At the first visit itself she was very positive nd gave us so much confidence nd she was ready to take the risk along with us. She really took all the great efforts to make everything in a very positive nd smooth way nd she referred a cardiologist who is a friend of her. Everything was very smooth throughout out my pregnancy till delivery and finally delivered a baby boy at 37 weeks via c section since it was risky to have a normal delivery. Then after a year we shifted back to our native. I got pregnant again when my son was 1.3yrs old. I was very scared and not in a mentality to visit any doctors there.
So we immediately called Dr.Manjula mam. We consulted with her virtually till my 5th month but this time it was not a smooth journey. I developed many symptoms like breathlessness, chest pain, high palpitations, etc. So we visited her directly after a long 8hrs journey. But as soon as we met her we got that positivity again in our hearts. Our cardiologist was very upset nd not much happy to continue this pregnancy since my health was not good. But mam gave us lots of hope nd try to get everything positive. She asked us to come at 32 weeks and stay there in Bangalore itself till delivery. She doesn't wish to continue my pregnancy beyond 34 weeks due to my negative ECG nd holter reports. So she asked us to admit immediately at 34 weeks that too not in cloudnine but at the nearby hospital because of the ICU and cardio facilities available there. She literally took more efforts for everything to be very safe nd she was very conscious in arranging all the doctors and procedures in a pre-planned manner. I finally delivered a baby girl at August 17th 2022 but my baby was kept in NICU for 4 days. But with God's grace and Mam's support we were ready to get back to our home. Dr.Manjula mam is really a God sent Angel to us nd we never met such a doctor in our life. She is a true gem of a human being. We love her so much nd am missing her badly. We were longing for one baby but now we are blessed with two both boy and girl. Manjula mam is such a friendly positive energetic smiling doctor. We recommend her 200%. Sorry for the long story. With so much love from Fahima Faizal.

Dr. Manjula Deepak Mam is definitely a God-sent angel. She carries positive vibes and I would definitely recommend her for any Gynecology consultations. After having two recurrent miscarriages, we were so shattered and lost hope. But it’s because of her best treatment and true support that we are happy parents to a lovely baby girl.
Here is our story:
It was at the end of 2019, after going through 2 recurrent miscarriages, that we got to know about Dr. Manjula Deepak Mam from a close friend. We immediately booked a consultation and visited her at Cloud Nine HRBR Layout. On our first visit, she looked (that was the only time) at all our history and lab reports, and patiently listened to us. On our next visit, we were surprised to see that she remembered every single piece of information about my history and she ensured that she provided only the best care and treatment.
Then comes COVID in early 2020. We moved to our hometown, gave ourselves a break, and didn't see a doctor for close to a year. We again planned to resume and mentally prepare for pregnancy around mid-2021. We booked an online video consultation with Dr. Manjula Deepak without hesitation, and you wouldn't believe it, even though we connected with her after a year, she remembered every detail and didn't make me feel any less disconnected, and we resumed from where we left off almost a year ago. The doctor helped me with the next set of plans and diets. She deserves a huge amount of respect for her dedication and for being so passionate about her profession and providing personal attention to every single patient.
I was pregnant again and immediately booked the next video consultation with the doctor. Although all this happened virtually, she ensured I was given the best care and attention and prescribed the medicines to get started with.
We moved back to Bangalore in November 2021 for our future consultations and visited the doctor at the hospital. From then on, it was like a big relief and we were so confident that we had got Manjula Deepak Mam with us. Due to previous complications, we used to be nervous whenever there was a scan, and for everything small, I used to message Mam, as I was afraid that something might go wrong. She replied to each and every question on message without any irritation, even though she was always super busy. It was a high-risk pregnancy, but she handled it very smoothly. Mam is always calm and positive, and some days, though she is awake the whole night for emergency delivery, when we visit her in the morning for consultations, she will be with the same beautiful smile and positivity. She told us that this time we would hold our baby in our hands and it came true.
She was so particular and conscious enough that there were no chances of uncertainties by closely monitoring the pregnancy at more frequent intervals, giving us much needed moral support and strength, making us stay positive throughout.
Finally, the day arrived. The doctor informed us well in advance about the delivery process, and we were asked to get admitted. I was induced by night and Mam informed the duty doctors to keep monitoring the baby's heartbeat and to inform her about my status, and she assured me if there was any urgency she would be there in 5 mins in hospital. She was frequently checking on my status that night and the next morning, we were blessed with a little angel . In the labor room, she was so supportive. Her words made me feel better when I was in so much pain.
Pregnancy is definitely a smooth journey with a wonderful human being like Dr. Manjula Deepak Mam. I miss visiting Mam in the hospital. She is a very down-to-earth person, and she talks to you like your sister and friend. We can’t thank Mam enough for all her efforts. This is the shortest I could write about Mam.

First of all, I would say a BIG THANK YOU to Manjula mam. She is among the best doctor in Obstetrics and Gynaecology and always tries for a normal delivery unless there is anything serious and does the best possible treatment. I recommend everyone to consult her without a second thought in mind. Once you visit her, you will get to know that you are in a safe and the best hand and will never regret it.
We are blessed with a baby through a normal delivery even after my wife was running on insulin since she got gestational diabetes at the end of 3rd month of pregnancy. I have a long story that I am going to describe below which may be useful for others.
We had consulted Dr. Manjula Deepak first time after the completion of about 3 months of my wife's first pregnancy. Before this, we had consulted two more doctors in Bengaluru but were not satisfied because they were not allowing husbands to talk to the doctor (I understand it was covid time, but still husbands should also meet the doctors), not describing everything in detail, and not answering all the question. We had many questions since it was the first pregnancy. I did google and found Dr. Manjula Deepak with many good reviews and decided to consult her.
Coming to our story, Our first baby was having multiple abnormalities which were identified by Dr. Manjula mam and her team (Dr. Kavyashree KS) at the time of the anomaly scan. It was very shocking for us and hard to believe. But the doctor wanted to have a second opinion before taking any further steps because it was critical and referred us to Bangalore Fetal Medicine Centre (BFMC). We went to BFMC and found there were some patients having similar or another type of criticality in their pregnancy and were referred to BFMC for a second opinion from many well-known hospitals. Doctors in BFMC did an anomaly scan for my wife and they too found the same issue and suggested aborting the baby because it was not easy for the baby to survive in this world or there were high chances to have more complications in the future. BFMC doctors explained the whole thing in more detail and answered all of our questions. We headed back to mam with the BFMC reports and she also suggested abortion and gave us time for a few days to make the final decision. In the meantime, I did some research on google, checked with some other sources, consulted families and friends, etc because it was not easy for us to abort our first baby and finally we decided to go with the doctor's suggestion. My wife got admitted and the doctor did an abortion. I saw the baby and it was the same as presented in the anomaly scan report. It was the most painful day of our life.
We consulted Manjula mam after some days and were worried that will it be similar if we plan for the next child? She told us it happens sometimes and is very rare. She recommended planning for the next baby after three months and don't think much about these things. She gave us enough confidence to plan for the next baby and promised that she will be giving us a healthy baby this time and will take care of everything from the beginning itself.
Good news came after eight or nine months and we consulted with Dr. Manjula mam and did whatever she suggested and continued consulting her. Everything went normal but after the completion of the 3rd month, my wife got Gestational Diabetes and the doctor told us that we should control this until delivery by diet, physical activities, or insulin if required. Else it may impact the growth of the baby. Again we got shocked and trusted the doctor and followed her advice since we got enough faith in her by this time. She referred us to a Dietician and an Endocrinologist to control sugar levels. My wife did the same and was in observation by her, Dietician, and Endocrinologist.
Now the time came for the anomaly scan and we visited the same doctor Kavyashree KS who was aware of our past. We were so much scared and were praying to god at the time of the scan. I thanked a lot to god and the doctors when we got the report and felt very happy, everything was normal. We continued following up with the doctor and Endocrinologist.
At around the 7th month of pregnancy, we moved to another doctor (don't want to name her here, but I will refer to her as ABC) due to some financial issues. Whenever we consulted ABC, she use to give us a lot of tension, used to scare us and never thought about the normal delivery, and always suggested a C section, else there may be a risk for the baby. We continued consulting with ABC up to about the 9th month and were worried about the ABC's words she use to speak at the time of consultation, we were getting sleepless nights.
Finally, we decided to consult Dr. Manjula Deepak again and went to her and explained everything. She was too polite and understood our situation and convinced us that there is nothing to worry about and everything is under control. She told me 95% of the chances are there that she will do a normal delivery and rest upon God (We too agreed here). I told her, mam do whatever you feel the best, I left everything to her and she was the next person after God for us.
Since my wife was on insulin due to Gestational Diabetes, Dr. Manjula mam had to plan delivery before the due date by inducing pain. We planned for this and did accordingly. Delivery was not very easy and that took so much effort from mam's side. She was very calm and active during the whole process. There was a time when even I thought of saying the doctor to go for a C section, but I already had left everything on mam and was knowing that she will be performing her best and finally, we are blessed with a healthy baby. Tears came to my eyes and I thanked a lot Dr. Manjula mam and God for blessing us with the baby.
I am 100% sure that if it was any other doctor, definitely it was done through a C section.
Now I am very happy with my kid and my wife!!! Again credit goes to Dr. Manjula mam!!!

Dr Manjula Ma'm is an awesome human being, she treat everyone with so much friendliness.
Having lot of experience *** ************* ******* she never shown that attitude of we are patients and she is doctor, she has zero attitude :)
Here is our story, (in another hospital & different doctor) we blessed with our first baby in 2016 and the C-section delivery experience was horrible . With that we almost in depression few yrs., not even thought to plan another baby coz of fearing we may land in same situation again.
From last few years we keep looking the reviews for best gynecologist’s and hospitals in Bangalore, finally we got to know about the Dr Manjula Ma'm and her positive feedbacks. we almost read about her all the reviews in google and practo, surprised to see 900 plus positive comments and everyone has different problems but still they happy with Manjula Ma'm treatment. For us time came to visit Manjula Ma'm in 2021 October and the first consultation experience was good.
She don’t prescribe un necessary medicines or scans, she give lot of time to clarify all the doubts. We were having small issue during 7th month pregnancy and we are lucky enough to have Manjula Ma'm and she treated well in advance and everything went well. Being busy doctor, still she always available over the whatsapp/phone call and clarify even small query/concerns.
Having C-section first time, still Ma'm was positive for Normal on 2nd delivery and waited till 38th week to see if Normal is possible. We are lucky enough to start small contractions at 37W 6d early morning and informed Ma'm about the situation and she suggested to wait till afternoon and visit hospital (Ma'm was on Sick leave that day 26th May). Here is the situation shows how dedicated about her patients and profession, Ma'm was having some surgery for her throat on same day and she couldn't talk next 2 weeks of time :( and she discharged from hospital that day evening around 5.30PM. but still in that situation Ma'm came to hospital to see my wife around 8.30PM night and given great support (we worried after hearing her surgery and in that situation, what if another doctor attend how they treat and all. she has talked with her assistant doctor and asked her to wait till night and make sure we feel comfortable for safe delivery). she couldn't talk having surgery(it was one way communication and she clarified our quires on writing paper :) ) and still everything she was writing up on paper and prescribed what should do for that night and early morning. i don’t think any other doctor will available like this for patients especially when they have surgery for throat and situation where she can’t even talk anything. We are very thank full for dr Manjula Ma'm great support on that day.
After almost 28 hours of painful contractions, On the next day morning (27th May) the time came for delivery. They shifted to labor room and Ma'm was taking fluids in other room (Might be she couldn’t swallow food due to surgery) and attended for Normal delivery at 9.32 AM :) Me and My wife very much Thankful for Ma'm Great support and we would like to share about Manjula Ma'm to our baby when she grown enough to understand it :)
Whoever looking for best gynecologists, blindly you can go ahead with Dr Manjula and follow her instructions. You will be in very safe hands and will experience smooth delivery process.
-Thanks,

Visited for pregnancy.one of my friend recommended Dr Manjula Deepak. My friend had a NVD. We(Chaitra and Joseph) consulted the doctor in cloudnine hospital. We were satisfied and happy after meeting the doctor. Doctor was very friendly. she explained the growth of the baby very well during each and every consultation. Dr Manjula is a Gynaec cum fitness doctor :) she makes sure mother and baby are healthy. My pregnancy journey went very smoothly because of the doctor. Just follow her advices and everything will be fine. Doctor does her best. Doctor is very Proactive any time we message her she responds immediately,always available.I have not come across this kind of doctor till date. Dr Manjula is young and energetic doctor and treats patients well. I like doctors dressingsense.I like the way she calls my name. She remembers patients so well. She calls me by name when ever she sees me outside. I liked this a lot. Dr Manjula connects with patients in a very friendly manner.On the D-Day(Thursday) Doctor ruptured my membrane and told me that I'll deliver in a weeks time and after 2days my water bag broke and called the doctor around 2:30AM(Saturday) and explained the symptoms and Dr told it was water break and to carry my bag and go to hospital. Doctor informed me that she'll inform the duty doctor. I reached hospital by 2:45AM and Duty doctor was waiting for me and after check up she confirmed that it was a water break and induced pain. Dr Manjula came to see me around 7AM(Sunday) and told me that I'm progressing well and I'll deliver very soon. I was not able to bare pain and asked for epidural or to do C section. Dr convinced me and my husband to go for normal delivery. I was taken to Labor room by 8:45 and around 9:15 duty doctor was able to feel my Babys head they immediately called Dr Manjula. (Doctor was at home as it was a Sunday). Dr Manjula came in 5mins and by 9:30 i delivered a beautiful Princess.It was all possible because of Dr Manjula Deepak. I would like to thank God and my friend who referred the Doctor. I dont have words to express the way i feel for the doctor. Dr Manjula was the first person to touch my little pincess and bought her safely to this world. I want my princess also to become a doctor like Majula Deepak. If you are consulting Dr Manjula Deepak means you are in Safe hands. Any one can blindly trust the doctor. She does her job beyond her service. I would strongly recommend Dr Manjula Deepak to others.

*** ******* ****** ** *** ** *** **** ************* ** ********** I am so happy that I decided to visit her for my pregnancy. She is very humble, caring, down to earth and would make you feel absolutely comfortable right from the very first visit. I must say, she's super beautiful too.
My pregnancy journey was quite rough. This was also my first pregnancy. I had severe nausea/vomiting & heartburn since the start of my pregnancy due to which I faced severe gastric problems. Dr. Manjula would always reply to my queries on WatsApp almost immediately. At times, late in the evening/ night i would require medical attention as I would go through terrible stomach pains. Dr.Manjula would answer my calls every time and patiently guide me. She would also call the duty doctor @cloudnine and instruct as to what needs to be done upon my arrival.
In my 7th month of pregnancy, i had to face my nightmare. I became Covid19 positive. Words cannot express my fear as to what was going to happen in the coming days. I was so scared of losing my baby, but Dr.Manjula gave me a lot of strength and positivity. Even during those critical times, Dr.Manjula has been a great support to me and my family. She guided me to get admitted to another hospital and was also in constant touch with the doctors there monitoring my medicines. By God's grace I recoverd and my baby was also fine in my womb.
I was 36 weeks pregnant when my water broke unexpectedly on Dec 2nd 2020 early morning around 3 am. I was very weak after all that i had been through previously. I was prepared for a C-section mentally. Me and my husband rushed to Cloudnine. I was examined and labour was induced at around 4:30 am. I had silently dropped a message on WhatsApp mentioning the situation and that I was there at the hospital. Dr.Manjula was there at the hospital at around 6:30 am. Upon seeing her, there was a sense of relief and i knew she would take care of me & the entire situation. Dr.Manjula and her team were so supportive & encouraging throughout my labour while i screaming and crying in excruciating pain. I have a very low tolerance to pain. But, I went with the flow and delivered a beautiful girl baby at 1:41 pm Dec 2nd 2020. It was a normal delivery. My baby was born sunny side up. I didnt have faith in me that it was going to be an NVD. In fact no one did even in my family, but Dr.Manjula made it happen. I guess she believed in me.
Am so glad that God chose Dr.Manjula to be my doctor. I can't thank her enough for giving me my miracle baby in my hands.
God bless her and her beautiful family. ❤️
From the bottom of hearts, Thank You Doctor 😊.

My wife (Arpita) has been seeing Dr Manjula since April this year from the very beginning of her pregnancy. We got to know about her pregnancy right in the middle of the National Lockdown. My wife was very tense because of the COVID situation at that point in time and we were unsure how things will pan out. We did an online check of various gynecologists and obstetricians across Bangalore on Practo and other websites and came across Dr Manjula’s profile. We were amazed at her rating (100%) with over 700 reviews. What was also incredible was that almost 80% of those who gave ratings shared their stories. We did not find any other gynecologist across Bangalore who had a 100% rating along with such high number of reviews. Even most of the renowned doctors had 97-98% rating but 100% rating was unheard of. We were quite curious and we decided to visit her, even though the Cloudnine HRBR branch where she is based is relatively far from our place.
After first few visits, we slowly figured out the reasons for her perfect ratings. Dr Manjula came across as a very friendly, polite and patient person. But the thing that stands out about her is her relaxed attitude. She will put her patients at ease and remove all stress and tension. She does not prescribe any unnecessary tests or medicines and tries her best to ensure that the pregnancy follows a natural path. Throughout the pregnancy, my wife had frequent bouts of nausea and vomiting, but the doctor assured her that it was normal and not to be worried at all. She encourages positivity all the time. My wife had lot of questions (especially since it was her first pregnancy), but the doctor answered all of them patiently. She even gave her watsapp number. My wife used to get her doubts and queries clarified from time to time on watsapp and invariably the doctor would always reply in spite of her busy schedule.
Couple of more things I would like to mention about Dr Manjula. She remembers all her patients by name (which I find quite incredible given that she would be meeting several new patients every week). Also, she has a very good rapport with her staff. She treats them and talks to them as her equal (just like talking to a friend). This is a rare quality and shows that she is humble, kind and has a great soul. I could see the kind of respect all the staff members had for her.
In the middle of her pregnancy, my wife was thinking of going to her home town in Kolkata for couple of months. Doctor gave her the go ahead and also provided a fit to fly certificate. After 2 months just before my wife was expected to fly back, we had a discussion of whether the delivery should happen in Kolkata or Bangalore. However, we decided that it was best for her to come back mainly because of the confidence we had in Dr Manjula. After coming back, my wife underwent a CBC test and her hemoglobin came quite low (8.4). Dr Manjula suggested her to take 2 doses of iron infusion. After taking those doses, her hemoglobin went up to 11.2 in a month’s time.
During the last scan, my wife was detected with polyhydramnios (very high levels of amniotic fluid) which occurs in just 1% pregnancies. We were quite worried on hearing this but Dr Manjula spent significant amount of time with us, calmed us down and assured us that my wife and our baby were in safe hands and there was nothing to worry. She suggested that we will need to go for Caesarian (because of the polyhydramnios) and it needed to be done within a week. She even gave us the option of choosing the date and time. She clarified all our doubts, laid to rest all our concerns and explained us the entire process of admission and operation. She also assured us that even if there was any emergency at any time before the day of operation, we could just walk in and get admitted and she will come over immediately (Dr Manjula stays just 5 minutes away from the hospital). We went back home satisfied. We chose the date and time of operation and intimated her.
On 30th Nov on the day of the operation, we reached the hospital early in the morning. All admission formalities were done smoothly and within couple of hours my wife was all set for the operation. In the operation theatre, as my wife was being administered anesthesia, she started sobbing uncontrollably as she got a bit scared. The doctor immediately comforted her and helped her to calm down. Soon she lost consciousness. In the middle of the operation, my wife just remembers hearing the words “its a sweet baby girl”. The operation went smoothly and baby was born healthy.
When my wife was discharged after 3 days, she had mostly recovered. My wife recovered much faster compared to most people we know of. We believe strongly that this has more to do with the quality of her operation and doctor’s encouragement to start getting active at the earliest. Dr Manjula called us back after a week, removed the dressing (which had almost healed) and explained to us clearly the way forward. Our next visit is scheduled after 6 months.
Overall we had an overwhelming experience with Dr Manjula and we would like to thank her from the bottom of our heart for her guidance, advise, encouragement and everything she has done for my wife throughout this period. Most importantly, we would like to thank her for delivering to us the best gift of our life. We will be eternally grateful to her.
