My philosophy
India IVF Clinic is at the forefront of women’s health and fertility care. It combines excellence in medical and surgical care, with a friendly and effective holistic approach. I aim to empower all my patients to achieve their best health possible.
I have a unique subset of qualifications in gynecology and reproductive endocrinology, along with special interests in environmental, regenerative, and nutritional medicine. I firmly believe in blending these different aspects to provide the best possible care. This approach is key to the success and popularity of our fertility center.
The patient is front and center of any treatment plan or decision. I enjoy working in collaboration with patients to help them reach their health goals. I love sharing my knowledge about gynecology, fertility, nutrition, and environmental aspects of health. This is done in the course of my consultations, but also through my YouTube channel
The core values of our fertility center include:
- listening to women: Women know their bodies better than anyone else, and it is this respect for the patient that sets us apart.
- working in partnership with the patient: The relationship between specialist and patient works best when both are proactive in healthcare decisions. Together, a tailored management plan is put in place.
- keeping up-to-date with the latest evidence and medical information: I enjoy sharing the latest information with my patients and empowering them to take control of their health.
- an integrative approach to health care: Good health is a total state of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social well-being. Every aspect is inter-related and important in achieving optimal wellbeing. A holistic approach to fertility allows me to combine medical, environmental, regenerative, and dietary advice so that patients benefit the most.
- a friendly and nurturing environment: I understand many of the challenges facing patients on their fertility journey or path to better health. I hope to minimize any stress or inconvenience by providing a comfortable and supportive environment.
- working with allied health professionals: I work with a range of experts to achieve the best health for my patients. Good health acts as the foundation for building healthy babies.
- every patient is unique: I know we are all different. I enjoy tailoring my approach to each individual.
