My first pregnancy was a missed miscarriage. I didn't had any hope left to conceive again . When I met Dr.Chitra sankar. She ran few test and gave hope to try naturally. when we tried,I was able to be pregnant again .Still my mind was not at peace. I was scared that my pregnancy won't be successful.Dr.Chitra Sankar always ensured that my mental strength is good.She was kind and friendly with her medical advice.she never suggested unwanted medicine, treatment or run test.It was a pandemic year.when covid was at its peak. The clinic followed strict rules in curtailing the spread of covid cases. Dr.Chitra Sankar insisted to limit the frequent clinic visit and was always available in phone.Each month my pregnancy was progressive in guidance of Dr.Chitra Sankar .I was afraid to take covid vaccine as I had a fear it might affect the growing fetus. Dr.Chitra Sankar clearly explained the details of positive sides in taking vaccination.And she made sure to only medically recommend on taking shots,left it to my decision.On that trust,I had my first dose of covid vaccine. I made a continuous call to her to ensure my baby is doing good as I had high fever and vomiting as side effects of vaccination.She stayed calm and boosted my confidence by making clear that it won't cause any adverse effect on the baby. As we progressed when nearing the term, I was frequently worried about less fetal movement . She was availed for frequent visit whenever my worries are at peak .At my 39 weeks ,we tried for vaginal delivery,She had been there and following my labor progression every hours.She was my supporter and my only trustworthy person I had during my 14 hours of labor . As my labor turned out non - progressive even after 14 hours ,generally it's 12 hours wait.As we and doctor preferred to try normal delivery ,we went for 2 more hours wait.As the wait time ended up negative,she immediately opted for C-section within 10 mins,I heard my babies first cry . Whole operation was wrapped in 30 minutes .Now me and my baby is doing good.I highly recommend Dr.Chitra Sankar for medical advice and surgery.I and my partner are finally happy with our healthy baby.
Visited For Pregnant
Happy with: Doctor friendliness
pregnancy checkup for 2nd week.. visited doctor.. treatment was completely satisfactory.. however the way hospital treated me was absolute non sense . next time I should think before going there..I was not allowed to see the ultrasound scan of my wife.. when asked about it.. the nurse was very rude.. and she was telling that law doesn't allow to see the scan.. however I have explained her that law only talks about revealing the gender of foetus.. which I have never asked for or intend to ask for.. but no use.. I couldn't see it..they don't have appropriate facility to accommodate the husbands in the scan room as there were many female patient were available in that room.. no enough space to stand..felt very about the way they have treated me.. I should think of visiting again..however the treatment and doctor was very nice and addressing the concerns pretty well..
