Cloudnine Hospital, Malad West

My second pregnancy was unexpected. Things weren't pretty good at my health side as I was recovering from covid 19 and stomach ulcer hence things were quite uncertain. What made it even more complicated was moving in to a completely new city for me ie Mumbai. Unsure about good medical facility in my nearby area I went to hospital Malad as it was a Maternity specialized hospital.There I met Dr Pooja Shukla and raised all my concern and health issues. She was a very patient with all my queries and she guided me regarding all my health concern.The first time I heard the heart beat of my baby me and my husband both were elated ♥️.But this was not it, continuously juggling from office work to handling pregnancy was getting difficult. In my second trimester I got gestational diabeties, hypertension and severe abdominal pain. Dr Pooja Shukla was always there to constantly guide, gave me best possible medications and was keeping track with multiple sonography just to ensure that both me and the baby is fine. I cannot forget her constant reminder to me that "Shipra for me both the health of baby and you is important". Be it on overnight calls or early morning checkup Dr Pooja Shukla was always there for me. As I reached my third trimester due to hypertension, uncontrollable gestational diabeties I experienced breathlessness even I couldn't feel my baby movements. My heart sank and we panicked. My family immediately contacted Dr Pooja Shukla who was not in the town recommended me to admitted in a near multi-speciality hospital. Within no time she spoke to the doctor's there and arranged everything for me even before I could reach there. I can never forget the day called me at 12 in the night and ask me about health and reiterated that for me it doesn't matter if she does the delivery or the doctor in the other hospital her priority is our safety so that we are out of danger of risking our life. My situation was brought under control and the she was constantly in touch with the doctor's there .Finally after consulting with an endocrinologist her team Dr Pooja Shukla and we decided to go for an elective C section which was still risky as it was only 33 weeks and the baby was still very premature. On 24 February my son Ved was born. 😊♥️It wasn't a easy journey but the constant support and guidance given by Dr Pooja Shukla along with the support of my family both me and my baby was healthy and happy. 😊The post operation care given my hospital was exceptionally good. The hospital rooms were very neat and clean also spacious.Staff was courteous and polite. All facilities including food and medical was good. Both me and my husband would like to thank Dr Pooja Shukla as she provided me the best in class most advanced treatment, she diagnosed my issues properly, was a constant support, her correct guidance brought us out of the risk of losing my baby and her timely tracking of growth of the child and the same time comforting me all the emotional trauma i went through. ♥️ Angels always do not come only in fairy tails but some also come with the white coat saving lives. Thank you Dr Pooja Shukla. 🧑‍⚕️

1.5 years ago, we visited a few reputed gynaecologists of Mumbai to choose our doctor. We were not yet pregnant. Our pregnancy was going to be "high risk pregnancy" due to a history of late miscarriage at 24 weeks during our previous pregnancy. Having done enough research, our conversations were centred around two topics:

- identifying the cause of our previous pregnancy loss

- understanding the plan of action during this pregnancy (to avoid any mishap)

Not fully satisifed by several renowned gynaecologists, we ended up in the cabin of Dr. Nikhil Datar. And what a fortunate day it was, for we found a doctor who answered all our questions even before we asked them. We were simply listening the entire time. It was evident that he specializes in high-risk pregnancies.

When we left his cabin that day, we were smiling ear to ear, for we knew everything is gonna be fine this time because we had Dr. Datar with us. :-)

Before we started planning again, he got me tested to rule out the causes of earlier miscarriage. Finally, we were down to two - vaginal infection and weak cervix. Both played a crucial role in our pregnancy this time as well.

When we got pregnant, he asked me to be extremely vigilant and raise as many alarms as possible. In his own words, "Feel free to raise 100 alarms. We will address all of them with full rigour. Even if 1 of them is true (rest 99 false) and we are able to address that and avoid a mishap, we would be successful". During the course of pregnancy, I suffered repeatedly from vaginal infections which were effectively managed by Dr. Datar through minimum medications. At 4 months, there was a sudden drop in the cervical length (from 4cm to 3.2cm within a week). Normal course of action in this case is cervical cerclage. But Dr. Datar managed it by putting me on bedrest for 3 months and administering progesterone tablets and injections. At 6 months I was also diagnosed with gestational diabetes.

Given all the complications, we were skeptical of crossing the 36 weeks mark, let alone have a normal delivery.

But miracles do happen! In December 2022, we delivered a healthy baby boy at 38+ weeks through normal vaginal delivery.

Undoubtedly, Dr. Nikhil Datar is the best gynaecologist in whole of Mumbai.

He is so experienced yet grounded, has a plethora of knowledge and very clear and systematic approach. On top of that, he is so jolly that he makes you smile even during the toughest situations. I had a laugh or two even during the last stage of contractions.

No words are sufficient to describe our gratitude for Dr. Nikhil Datar.

P.S.: He is always just a whatsapp text or phone call away!

Words truly fall short to express our gratitude for everything she has done for us. From the very beginning till the safe delivery of our baby girl, her compassion, personal touch, and constant concern gave us immense strength and confidence throughout this journey.My wife had a severe contraction as early as the 27th week, but with her perfect guidance, continuous support, and timely interventions, we were able to manage the situation safely and reach the 37th week. She not only treated and guided us professionally and medically throughout the entire pregnancy period, but also lifted us mentally and psychologically, helping us overcome every hurdle with confidence and positivity.She was always available on WhatsApp or calls whenever needed, without even a single instance of delayed response. Most of the time, her replies came within minutes, sometimes even seconds, which truly reflects her extraordinary commitment to professionalism combined with humanity.On the night of delivery, the way she patiently guided us till we reached the hospital, personally monitored every development, and kept us continuously informed throughout the night reflects not just her medical excellence, but her deep sense of responsibility and care. The way she repeatedly called and checked on our situation while we were travelling from home to the hospital on the night of delivery was simply heart-touching. We genuinely felt as if we were under the care, guidance, and emotional support of a close family member.Honestly, it felt that she was even more stressed and emotionally invested than us that night, ensuring that our baby arrived safely into this world. That level of involvement and concern is something we can never forget.We truly believe that it was her divine hand on us and on our baby that made this entire journey so safe, reassuring, and blessed. Her presence felt nothing short of divine to us, truly a Goddess in the form of a Doctor.Words cannot express how overwhelmed and blessed we feel because of her constant personal attention during our journey*** *** *********** *** ****** *** **** *** ** *** **** ************* ** ******* *************** *********** *** ** *** ********** *** ****** ******** ** *** *** ******* ** ** *** ** *** ************* *** **** ********* ******** *** we feel immensely fortunate that our baby came into this world under her care.Thank you, Ma’am, from the depths of our hearts, for your dedication, blessings, and for holding our hands through the most precious moment of our lives. We will remain forever grateful, Ma’am **

After 35 days of my delivery, when my immunity was still low, I suddenly developed severe stomach pain, vomiting, and was diagnosed with jaundice. Even though this was not a gynecological complication, the first person I reached out to, out of faith and complete trust was Dr. Shweta Shah, who had ensured a smooth and safe delivery for me just a month earlier. She immediately guided me over the phone, but, my condition worsened and I had to be admitted to the hospital. She continued to support me throughout, without a moment’s hesitation.

What touched us deeply was that even though my treatment was under a physician and not related to her specialty, Dr. Shweta stayed in constant touch with him, reviewed my reports directly, and even followed up with the lab herself for faster updates. She was not supposed to do any of this, yet she did, purely out of concern and humanity.

Her selflessness, her commitment to her profession, and the deep human connection she builds with her patients truly do not end here.

The moment that truly broke me was when the physician told me not to breastfeed my one-month-old baby for at least a month. As a new mother recovering from illness, this caused real emotional trauma. In that vulnerable moment, the only person I felt I could rely on was Dr. Shweta. Without me even asking, she took the time, despite her extremely busy schedule, to consult her colleagues, re-evaluate my reports, medications and call me personally to guide me on breastfeeding. She reassured me, helped me understand the situation clearly, and supported me like a trusted partner, just as she has done for the last one and half year since the beginning of our pre-pregnancy journey.

In a city like Mumbai, where every second matters, an extremely busy and highly accomplished gynaecologist of such stature still spared her precious time for us, even when my medical issue was not related to her. This speaks volumes about her unmatched professionalism, her compassion, and her extraordinary dedication to her patients.

We are truly, deeply grateful for the way she stood by us during such a difficult phase, giving her time, attention, and genuine care. Thank you, ma’am, for your selflessness and for going far beyond your duty. We remain forever indebted to you.

Lots of love, respect, and our heartfelt wishes for your bright, fulfilling, and ever progressing professional and personal journey ahead****

With deepest gratitude

Manasi, Rudra and your loving Vrinda💕 **

I cannot express enough gratitude to Dr. Nikhil for the exceptional care he provided during my high-risk twin pregnancy and delivery. From the very beginning, his calm demeanor and expertise were a sanctuary for me; he truly helped me navigate a stressful period without taking on *********** "tension," making me feel safe and informed every step of the way.​Expert Surgical Care & Innovation​When it came to my C-section, Dr. Nikhil’s immense experience was evident. He ensured the delivery was smooth and handled with the utmost precision. What truly set my recovery apart was his proactive approach—he utilized a drainage pipe for my stitches, a technique that significantly accelerated my healing process and minimized discomfort. It is rare to find a surgeon who balances technical mastery with such thoughtful post-operative care.​Compassionate Emotional Support​Beyond the physical surgery, Dr. Nikhil supported me through one of the hardest emotional hurdles a new mother can face: the guilt of being unable to breastfeed. In a society that places so much pressure on "liquid gold," I was struggling deeply. Dr. Nikhil shared an insightful article he had written on this very topic, which completely shifted my perspective and helped me overcome that guilt.​Empowering New Mothers​He didn't just stop at healing me; he empowered me. He encouraged me to share my own journey and write an article to help other struggling new moms. This level of mentorship and advocacy for maternal mental health is what makes him more than just a doctor—he is a true healer.​I highly recommend Dr. Nikhil to any woman looking for a doctor who combines world-class medical expertise with genuine, life-changing empathy.

One of my friend suggested Dr. Saloni and boy, she vouched for her!! I met her and every word she told was true!! Now even I vouch for her :) Dr. Saloni is really nice.. a great doctor and an awesome person. I trust her the most, not just for myself but even for my baby. I know she will do the best for us!! You hardly come across such doctors who care for your well-being so much during the course and even after! *** ** *** ***** We (me and my husband) are so blessed to have her in our lives.

I reached out to her for my first pregnancy. Had a couple of issues - (gestational diabetes, thyroid).. she handled the journey so beautifully. She made me super comfortable. Just in couple of visits, I knew I was in safe hands.

My baby was born in April end amidst all the corona scare. She was the most understanding, reachable and supportive doctor, I have ever come across. What I loved was, she reaches out to you even before you do, to ensure your well-being. Just before the lockdown, she called me and asked to come for a quick check up (35 weeks pregnant) as later it would be difficult. Throughout she proactively checked on me to ensure my well-being and continues to do it even today after my baby is 3 months old. She was always reachable and I was very confident that she is just a call away and incase of anything she will take care of it.

My delivery was also smooth.. she encouraged me for a normal delivery and because of her I had confidence to go thru it and is blessed with a healthy baby girl.

On the fifth day of birth, my baby looked quite yellow. It was a Saturday evening. We reached out to the peadiatrician, no response. We were worried and reached out to Dr. Saloni. She asked us to come to her hospital (we had the delivery in another clinic) and she will have peadiatrician on call check her on Sunday. My baby had extremely high bilirubin levels and had to be hospitalised immediately. Thanks to Dr. Saloni, my baby was treated immediately. If my baby was not checked then, it would have got very complicated. It scares me to even think about that. We will forever be grateful to her for that!! Always!! You hardly come across doctors who care for you so much!

Thank you so much Dr. Saloni!! We are blessed :)

we visited dr pooja shukla mam in our first trimester of pregnancy when i was on progesterone support after two failed iui ,this was our first successful ivf pregnancy following a laproscopic surgery of grade 4 endometriosis...me coming from a medical background i tried to contact as many seniors as possible to find the right doctor and 2 of them suggested dr Pooja's name.... considering it was a very precious pregnancy for us we wanted to make sure we see a experienced consultant with experience of handling high risk pregnancies and pooja mam was precisely the doctor for it .. during the pregnancy i developed gestational diabetes and polyhydramnios mam managed it on medication without insulin , in 8th month i had to get admitted in emergency twice once due to per vaginal bleeding and second due to dengue fever ..when i messaged her with 104 fever at 4 am mam called me at 5 am first thing when she woke up and asked me to get admitted and took prompt action with the treatment.... not just that despite of me having risk of premature labour mam helped us to carry healthy pregnancy till 38 weeks and we went ahead with a planned LSCS at fullterm without any anxiety...even during delivery there were complications ..i had post partum haemorrhage which could have risked my life but coz of pooja ma'am and her teams prompt action today me and my baby both are doing well. there are very few doctors who go beyond their call of duty to help patients and after seeing 5-6 doctors in my journey of last two years i can definitely say pooja mam is one of them.

June 2022 is when Dr Nikhil delivered our baby girl via C Section and we are glad that we chose Dr Nikhil as our OB-GYN to carry out this procedure.Being first time parents we were unsure of the right doctor, and by doing a bit of research we heard about Dr Nikhil. The general fear that most women have about a male gynecologist was surely something that Dr Nikhil will help you overcome. We never felt uncomfortable with Dr Nikhil during our entire course of the pregnancy. He is an extremely kind and down to earth doctor who is well experienced and has a plethora of knowledge in his field of expertise. Throughout our pregnancy we were guided and assured that everything was going to be Ok. Dr Nikhil understood and explained all our doubts/ queries in lay man's terms so that we as parents were aware of what was going on with our pregnancy and our baby.We were always sceptical of having a c section as the recovery period for us would be longer, and the term 'Surgery' is something that always made us worry about. Dr Nikhil assured us that we would try our best for a normal delivery and only when he was sure that my breech baby wouldn't turn at all were we advised for a c section.During the procedure Dr Nikhil, used his experience and expertise to deliver my baby girl - who was having a double loop of cord around her neck, with the utmost care. We are pleased to say that the procedure was quick and efficient due to Dr Nikhil's years of experience. Post the delivery in the hospital Dr Nikhil visited us daily and checked on us, explaining the post delivery recovery period and precautions that we need to take.We are thankful to Dr Nikhil for all his help and we would definitely recommend him to anyone. We are also grateful to the entire Cloudnine team for their help.

Review for Dr. Shweta Shah – Cloudnine Malad

Dr. Shweta Shah is an exceptional gynecologist who has been a blessing in our journey. I first consulted her during my ectopic pregnancy, where one tube had to be removed. She explained everything with such clarity and empathy, guided us through the right treatment, and gave us the confidence to stay calm in a very difficult time. Thanks to her expertise and reassurance, we conceived naturally within just over a year—something we never thought possible.

When I returned to her for my pregnancy, she immediately recognized us and offered unmatched care and advice. We trusted her completely—whether it was postponing a family trip or keeping my pregnancy private until the anomaly scan was done—because we knew every suggestion was for my well-being. Throughout, she was always available to address even the smallest of concerns, which made me feel so secure.

The golden highlight of my journey was my delivery. Dr. Shweta not only motivated me for a normal delivery but made it a reality—without vacuum, without epidural—something I couldn’t have imagined given my past history. She monitored me and the baby with utmost dedication and handled everything with such confidence that we never had to worry. We trusted her entirely to make the right decisions, and she delivered exactly what she promised.

Even after delivery, when one of my stitches opened, her care didn’t stop. She personally followed up with genuine concern, ensuring it healed without surgery, prescribing only medicines that were safe during breastfeeding. That personal touch and commitment meant the world to us.

Dr. Shweta Shah is not just a brilliant doctor but someone who treats her patients like family. We wholeheartedly recommend her to all couples—for family planning, pregnancy, and any complications. **** **** *** *** ** *** **** ***** *********

Dr. Pooja is an amazing healthcare professional who understands every individual’s needs and provide counseling in a complete unique manner. As we are first-time parent, our questions and enquiries list were always on higher side, but she was kind and compassionate enough to patiently respond to our unlimited queries.

She possesses good friendly nature, which keeps parents at very comfortable position to manage anxiety and keep us at ease. *** **** *** * ***** ********* ** managing different conditions including co-morbid conditions which ensures mother and fetus health is being taken care appropriately.

Dr Pooja's skilled guidance and calm presence throughout the entire journey reassured us and gave us the confidence we needed during this significant life event. Her attentiveness to both the medical aspects and our emotional well-being made all the difference in ensuring a smooth and safe delivery. She also used to share her personal stories with us during our visits which helped us to gain more confidence.

Words cannot adequately convey how grateful my family and I are for the extraordinary care she provided. Her professionalism, patience, and genuine concern for our well-being were evident, and we truly felt that we were in the best hands possible. Throughout my pregnancy journey marked by blood thinners, and frequent scans, Dr. Shukla's guidance was dispensable.

Her personal touch and warmth makes her an exceptional doctor, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking unparalleled medical expertise during their nine months journey.

Dr Pooja's passion for her profession shines through, and it is thanks to doctors like you (Dr. Pooja) that we are able to welcome our precious bundle of joy into this world with such happiness and peace of mind.

With deepest appreciation,
