My son Ishaan (5 year old) used to complain about weakness and had low energy levels. When we visited Dr. Pawar in Nov 2017, she immediately looked at him and said that his head shape is big, which indicates that he may be low in Vitamin D levels. She asked the right questions and also suggested a developmental therapist for improving gross muscular movements. She told us to get his blood tested along with the vitamin levels, which turned out to be very low. She then prescribed the right supplements and asked us to see her again after the treatment regimen of 3 months with a new blood report. Within 3 months, Ishaan had become very active with very less complaints of weakness and his head shape had also become normal. His vitamin level had also increased to the normal levels. We as parents had met many other pediatricians before, but we never found anyone as good as Dr. Mangala Pawar. She ** **** ***** ** *** ******* ********** explains the issue in very simple terms and prescribes general medicines/home remedies. She believes in treating a patient without any bias towards allopathy or ayurveda. We have even corresponded with her on WhatsApp, when we were out of town and she was very prompt in her responses. We strongly recommend her for her simplicity, professionalism & friendliness. She will be always our pediatrician till my kids become adults.
Visited For Asthma In ChildrenSkin Problems In ChildrenVaccination/ Immunization
A dedicated doctor with a very Positive outlook, easily approachable and genuinely concerned about the kids well-being. We met her at a very difficult time for our 8 year old son. Hi asthmatic bronchitis was at the peak after three years of nebulising, followed by five years of homeopathic treatment. She helped us identify and understand the root causes for his allergies, guided us to read his symptoms carefully and to manage our own fears and reactions towards them. Our son has dramatically improved with the right investigations, carefully monitored doses of the medicines and lifestyle changes. She has managed it all with complete faith, and always stayed away from both experimenting and over-medicating.
It has brought normalcy back into his life and loads of gratitude in ours.
A great advantage on consulting Dr. Mangala is that she manages her appointments herself, which means no long queues and long hours of waiting. She is approachable even at odd hours in case of emergencies. She gives ample time answering all queries, giving all explanations and even counselling the kids several times.
Indeed its been a blessing to have met her.

Our 3.5 years child was suffering from frequent fever, cold and cough. He also suffered from chest congestion. When we went to Dr. Mangala with our son's ongoing medicine prescriptions, she was shocked to see the heavy dose of inhalers and antibiotics that we were being given to him. She stopped everything and prescribed very light medicines and without any antibiotics. Dr. Mangala always tries to cure without heavy doses of medication. It took couple of months but her advise and medicines really helped. Our son is very happy to visit her and listens to whatever she says. Our experience is really great and we are very satisfied.
Visited For Colds
Our experience over the 2 visits we have had with Dr. Mangla has been good. Firstly, the appointment time management is very good, both the times we were correct on the time and did not have to wait.
In terms of the consultation experience, we found her to be straightforward and clear. She was elaborative in answering the queries we had. What we particularly liked about her consultation (when v had visited her for baby's common cold) is her remedies are focussed on both - actual medicines and home remedies. She avoided giving over doses of medicines and suggested a number of home remedies as well which we found effective.
Though a good doctor, she listens to the patient keenly and does give her feedback and recommendation.
However, having said that, I would not recommend her to my friends and family.
She deliberately gave my child second best vaccine all because she had opened it by mistake. We did resist a bit at first however she made us believe that what she is doing is best, and that why didnt we tell her in advance that we wanted best vaccination!!
I did consult it with 3 other doctors (one of which was my own close relative who is located 200 Kms from me, 2nd doctor is the Head of Department for a Government medical College and a practitioner in that hospital as well) and all the doctors advised me that her vaccine was not the best vaccine and it was not even approved by Indian Academy of Pediatricians.
More over this second best vaccine costs around Rs 200- Rs 400 however I was charged Rs 2400.
The prescription notepad did not have the Dr license number which is govt mandate if one is to practice medicine in India. Also the notepad has an underline in the footnote that the prescription is not legally valid.
Above are the few reasons coz of which I will not recommend the doctor for vaccinations.

****** ******* ** *** ** *** **** ******* ** ***** I have been consulting for both my kids (Son - 9yrs, Daughter - 6 yrs) and each time they have had pretty different problems . Be it an injury, seasonal health issues, or long standing child problem ( such as constipation), Dr. Mangala’s diagnosis, treatment and friendliness with the kids and her patience with the questions/anxiousness of parents has been commendable. She shares all the required information and explains the medical problem in a layman understandable way, and her approach for treatment is very convincing. She is always available at the need of the hour and responds to any queries. Thank you very much Doctor!

Dr. Mangala is one of the very few doctors who will patiently explain things to anxious parents. Thanks to her alertness, she diagnosed my son with dengue studying his fever pattern (mind u, he had zero dengue symptoms). Timely detection and intervention really helped in his recovery. Not only did she take very good care of him, would council a worried mum to ease my worries and clear all my doubts. I'm yet to come across a doctor who empathizes so much with her patients and worried parents. She's not only a great doctor but a lovely grounded human being.

Who said Medical profession was science...it's an Art and Dr Pawar is an skilled Artist.*** *** ****** ***** ********** *** what amazes me how she integrates all the facets of Medical profession.We visited for our kid who was suffering from fever. Dr hardly took 30sec to diagnose the reason. While naming the disease she comforted us by mentioning that the Disease is easy to treat. However, she also subtly told us of the complications which could occur and symptoms which would require immediate hospitalization. We were overwhelmed by the skill with which she comforted and sensitised us at the same time.My kid started recovering within two days of visit. A Great doctor and an even Greater Human being.

I first visited to the doctor for the second opinion,as my newborn was admitted in NICU of one of the kids hospital of sector 47 GGN and doctor of this hospitals not appropriately explain me the situation,outcomes and future course of actions.Dr power not not only made explanations appropriately about the current situation after going through all the details of my baby but also suggested the future course of actions I can undertake as a parent.what I found that where as majority of doctors un-appropriately transact with the patients/parents. Dr.pawar made communicational transactions on the desirable state to the parents of patients.highly satisfied and i recommend others in her specialisations.
