Manipal Hospital Varthur Road (formerly Columbia Asia Hospital), Whitefield

Started Consulting Dr Namita Kapoor after 34 week of pregnancy due to bad experience from previous doctor. After a long search and reading lot of reviews we got some confidence to meet and discuss our next course of action. Since day one we got good confidence on her and with every visit this confidence level increased and we decided to proceed for rest of the process with Dr. Namita Kapoor (with a regret why we didn't choose her since start).

We liked the suggestions and the process she follows for whole consulting process to keep it as Natural as possible. And even when other doctors starts scaring with few natural minor complications like in our case for 1 loop round the neck and other doctors were scaring and forcing us to plan early delivery (cesarean post 32 week or 36 week max) because of this which was not necessary.

Dr. Namita checked all the previous scans and reports and said because of this there is no need to plan early delivery. we can still wait till last day (with monitoring baby movements at home) and still Normal delivery can be tried. In case baby do not come down and heartbeat fluctuates while trying then on last day last option will be caesarean otherwise most of the cases Normal delivery is possible. We were convinced with the way she told at least she is still trying for normal delivery and there can be chance we can have baby delivered without caesarean.

On the Day of delivery. She tried her level best to get baby delivered normally but we can see that every time its tried the baby heartbeat was fluctuating. So considering 2 complications (loop around the neck and baby poop in womb) and heartbeat fluctuation while trying for normal delivery we have to go for emergency caesarean delivery or it will be risk to the baby that we can understand.

Our satisfaction was like Doctor tried her level best for normal delivery that was enough for us to still keep on continuing with Dr. Namita for any of our future need. She is great doctor and this kind of attitude and skills are rare nowadays. I highly recommend Dr Namita to anyone who is really concerned about Normal and Natural process and avoid unnecessary intervention. She has great history of Normal delivery even in some complicated cases with great knowledge and skills.

Special thanks to Dr. Namita Kapoor for all the support and taking care of what is needed. I would like to thanks Columbia Asia Hospital too for the seamless process and good arrangements made during the process. And last but not the least thanks to the hospital staff for full support at any time round the clock.

I've always been an ambivert - extroverted, when it comes to voicing most of my emotions, and feelings; and introverted in certain circumstances. It took me enough time to realise that I'd been actively ignoring a significant chunk of my childhood, as that part of my life doesn't have many happy memories that I could recall. I recently also understood that I'd started losing control of a few of my raging emotions, associating these most with events from the present day or an immediate past - that's what happens when the turbulent mind gets caught in the 'recency effect'.

Well, I never thought anyone would ever be able to help me out of this situation; more importantly, I never thought that I would be able to convince myself to seek help and share my life stories with a stranger sitting across the table.

Dr. Anamika Gupta was the first 'stranger' ever, forth whom I managed to do that - and boy did she help me ease in to the process. It was quite a revelation that 'making someone feel comfortable' doesn't always involve talking! At times it could look like a monologue - while the other person spends time listening, and absorbing. She invested enough time understanding everything that I was pouring out - showed me the right path to discovering all the emotions that I had unknowingly bottled up, and then accepting myself as a whole.

It's astounding how a gentle nudge can help a person uncover significant parts of their own lives, and how much of a productive impact could that emotional freedom have on the present, and the future.

I understand that the most challenging part of this discovery, and resolution, is the initiation - and I couldn't have thought of anyone better to help me sail through! Thanks again, doctor!

We visited Dr. Vijaya Meenakshi Maam for the first time for the pregnancy check up. Our fist visit became the best visit as we were pretty impressed by the friendliness and professionalism maam had. She did understand our condition and did listen to our whole lot of stories and various complications, and other issues with our previous miscarriages.

After 2 miscarriages previously and other issues with my wife's uterus we had lost a hope of having a child, but after meeting Meenakshi maam her expertise, calmness and her way of handling things gave us a lot of confidence and trust which gave us a positive vibe of being parents.

Meenakshi maam is very knowledgeable and the technique or methods she uses in her treatment are mindblowing and remarkable. The success stories what we experienced and heard about Maam are to a great extent and appreciable

Today we are proud to be parents of a baby boy and the only reason for this is because of Maam, she is one of the best doctor whom we have ever seen through our entire life. Her dedication, support and knowledge has brought a success and praises which cant be explained.

Maam did take a personal care of us and she was available to us 24/7 which no other doctors would do. She has also helped us to overcome all the consequences throughout our entire pregnancy journey.

Words fall short to us and cant be explained. the support, affection, care, treatment which we got from Maam are never forgetable. We will always be thankful to Maam from bottom of our heart. I proudly with raised head say it was the best decision we made to consult Maam for our pregnancy journey and i would always ask or request people to consult maam for any pregnacy or fertility related issues and you will see a postive change, happiness and joy in ur life.

Once again thank you maam for what all you have done to us and our family. We will always be thankful to you and u will remain in our hearts forever.

May you have lots and lots of success and happiness in your life as well as carrer.

Best wishes

My wife Sudeshna and I would like to recommend Dr. Ashwini Neelakanthi as a beacon of expertise and compassion of the highest degree. She was our doctor from the very first day of our pregnancy journey, and the care we received was truly exceptional, making the entire nine months a smooth and reassuring experience.Dr. Ashwini is an absolute expert in her field, with proven proficiency across all facets of obstetrics, including normal delivery, caesarean delivery, normal after caesarean, and managing high-risk pregnancies. Her profound medical expertise and clear, concise guidance were instrumental in helping us navigate the entire journey without worry. We always felt secure knowing we were in the hands of a leading specialist.Beyond her technical skill, Dr. Ashwini possesses the most humble, polite, and caring attitude. Every single interaction, without fail, started with her warm, welcoming smile. She was always eager to answer our questions—no matter how many we had—and took the time to explain everything thoroughly. The most reassuring aspect was her commitment to our safety: she provided us with her personal number so we could reach out in case of any emergency, ensuring we never felt alone or unsupported at any hour of the day or night.Her professionalism and thoughtfulness are truly noteworthy. She is exceptionally caring, particularly concerning patient waiting times. If an urgent operation theatre (OT) case required her immediate attention, she would ensure we were informed through proper channels that she wouldn't be taking OPD visits that day, ensuring that no pregnant woman was left waiting unnecessarily. This level of respect for her patients' time and comfort is rare and deeply appreciated.The care continued right through to the delivery and discharge. She met with us two days before the delivery and provided comprehensive guidance right up to the day itself. After our baby was born, she visited my wife twice on the same day to personally ensure she was fine and recovering well. Even during our discharge, Dr. Ashwini took the time to visit our entire family, a gesture that truly highlights the immense care, warmth, and dedication residing in her heart.Dr. Ashwini Neelakanthi is more than a doctor; she is a compassionate guide and a true professional who invests fully in her patients' well-being. We are profoundly grateful for her support and expertise throughout this incredible journey.
