Trying since long:Infertility doctors/institutes in Mumbai

2009-08-04

Name: BD Hi, I have been trying to search for good doctor in Mumbai but could not find it all the info in one place.
This is an attempt to help myself and others like me, so request you all to share your experiences preferebly in this format or any format which you may suggest.. Thanks in Advance.

Name - Dr. Malpani
Location - Colaba, Mumbai
Cost - Expensive, Approx 25k for IUI and 1.5L for IVF(Others may please share experience with other treatments)
Clinic - Clean and even plays nice music. The approach through basement and then small dingy lift is highly inconvenient though.
Staff - Attentive but dont seem very qualified. He seems to have hired either retired nurses or freshers.
Hygiene - All instruments seem to be clean however since staff is amatuerish, you never know.
Waiting time - On an average 2 hours inspite of taking appointment.
Doctor - Good in talking but not so good with results. I was not impressed.
Others - (1) Makes the woman go past all waiting patients wearing a gown during procedure which is highly embarassing. (2) The nurse at the main desk thinks no end of herself and is many times rude with the patients.
Rating out of 5 stars - 2.5

Will share more soon, thanks

Hi BD

Please dont try in hiranandani. U are definately going to waste your money. Because a friend of mine tried in hiranandani and wasted her money.Then she tried in Ashwini Hospital which is in Ghatkopar and recently she got a baby girl.

SLK,

Did you get treatment at Jaslok? If so, did you get a positive outcome?

Thank you.

IVF charges

Malpani charged 1.5 lakh for IVF treatment? I paid him almost 2.5 lakhs earlier this year. His treatment fee alone was USD 3,500 (almost 1.75 lakhs), and with medications added on top of that, it ended up crossing the 2.5 lakh mark.

I went to another clinic in Jaipur (though, not as well known), and paid 95,000 per IVF treatment, including medication.

None of this matters though, since I did not have success anywhere :-(

I am now researching Firuza Parikh (who has quoted me close to 3 lakhs) and Hinduja (who quoted me 1 lakh) for an IVF cycle. Would appreciate feedback from anybody who has had any experience with these docs? I am more concerned about a positive outcome ...

Thanks, Please keep posting

Thanks SLK. Was your IVF with her a success?

Other folks please keep posting, the doctors out there are charging us alot of money and may or may not be giving us the best treatment and this is the only way we can help each other. So again... please post your experiences, good or bad, with any doctor.

Couple of more things on Firoza.
(1) She is fit for NRI and celebrities as she is painfully expensive.
(2) After procedure the patient is left on a strecher for a long time outside in the waiting area in full view of all patients.
(3) She suggests all types of expensive tests which may or may not be relevant and prescribes alot of surgical treatments.
(4) I would give her a 2 out of 5 rating.

IVF under Dr. Firuza

I had given up all the hope of having baby after undergoing unsuccessful 2 rounds of IUI in some other clinic.(Though I still had age in my hands). I was diagnosed with endometriosis and came to Dr. Firuza for 2nd opinion. I am very impatient kind of person when it comes to waiting and I agree due to so many patients seeking treatment and opinion under Dr. Firuza, I became impatient to the extent in my 1st visit that I was about to leave without meeting her. Howwever once I met her, I was convince that I am undergoing IVF under her. She personally attends to each and every patient.I never saw her discriminating any patient. I would highly recommend for patients who have lost hope of having baby.She would never recommend unnecessary tests and medicines.

In response to BD

Dear BD
This is Dr Firuza Parikh responding to your message.
Being an IVF specialist since the last 23 years I have had the opportunity and the privilege to treat the poorest of the poor and also celebrities. All patients who come to me are treated with utmost respect. Whenever I can we subsidise charges for poor patients (through a fund set up by some of the more affording patients and some celebrities) Being in a hospital setup we are governed by inflexibility of charges which does not apply to private clinics.
About 6 months ago we redesigned and added an operation theatre and an extra embryology lab so patients can recover in privacy. Patients no longer have to be on a stretcher and are very comfortable.
AS a doctor I believe in evidence based medicine and my greatest strength is being recognised as a very ethical doctor by my patients and my peers I cannot recall myself prescribing any test or doing a surgical procedure which was not required.
I hope you are successful in having a baby soon. My best wishes to you

For: Dr. Firuza Parekh

Hi Doctor,

Warm wishes to u and ur entire team,

I dont know if you remember me or not, but I underwent ICSI under you in july, unfortunately it was as failure, but I should truly admit that you and the entire team is not responsible of the failure. My personal experience with you was very good and I feel that you give personal attention to all the patients and make them feel very comfortable in all the aspects. I felt that I am under safe hand. you treat ur patients with love and care.

I am so thankful for all your concern, personal attention and your warmth.

I am coming back again in 2011.

Wish u good luck and regards to all the staff menbers

Responding to SLK

Dear SLK
My apologies for making you wait at the time of your appointment. Delays occur sometimes because some afternoons I am caught up in the IVF lab where I personally superbvise all procedures.I personally check on all embryos and supervise the IVF/ICSI lab and am very hands on. (This is one of the factors that ensures the high success rates that we have.) This delays the new appointment schedule for the afternoon.
We now have 6 qualified gynaecologists and infertility specialists on out team in order to cut down the waiting time.
I have counseled the Head Nurse about your comment of her being rude and explained to her that you are our priority. You can be assured of her empathy and encouragement in the future
Wish you all the best always
