Appointments & visits
Booking and coming in
Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in?
Walk-ins are welcome during clinic hours. Calling ahead on +91 72869 11911 means less waiting, but you're never turned away for arriving without one.
How do I book an appointment?
Three ways: call +91 72869 11911, message us on WhatsApp, or use the appointment form on this website — it sends your request straight to the clinic's WhatsApp.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Any previous reports and prescriptions, a list of medicines you take, and — for pregnancy visits — your antenatal card and scans. A written list of your questions helps too. Full checklist →
How do I pay? Do you accept UPI?
Yes — we accept cash, UPI (GPay, PhonePe, Paytm), debit and credit cards. Fees are told to you up front and receipts are provided for every payment.
Can someone come in with me?
Always. Bring whoever helps you feel comfortable — partner, mother, sister or friend. For examinations, it's your choice whether they stay in the room.
Pregnancy
Expecting parents ask
I just got a positive home test. When should I come in?
Any time from now — there's no "too early". The first visit confirms the pregnancy, estimates your due date and starts folic acid. Ideally come before 10 weeks. What happens at the first visit →
Does the clinic handle high-risk pregnancies?
Yes. Dr. Deepthi manages pregnancies complicated by diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disease, twins and previous obstetric complications, with closer monitoring and a clear delivery plan. How high-risk care works →
Where will my delivery happen?
Deliveries take place at partner hospitals, planned well in advance during your third trimester. You'll know the hospital, what to pack, and exactly when to go — long before labour starts.
I had a caesarean before. Can I try for a normal delivery this time?
Sometimes, yes — it's called VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarean). Whether it's advisable depends on why the first caesarean happened, the scar, and this pregnancy's progress. It's a real conversation to have, not an automatic no.
Services
Tests, children & vaccines
Are ultrasound scans and blood tests available at the clinic?
Yes — blood investigations and scans are arranged on site at affordable prices, and your reports are explained to you in plain language during the same visit wherever possible.
Do you treat children as well as women?
Yes. Alongside women's health we offer child health care — well-baby visits, growth and development checks, common childhood illnesses, and the full childhood immunisation schedule. Adult vaccines are available too.
My child missed some vaccinations. Is it too late?
Almost never. Nearly every missed vaccine can be caught up safely with a re-planned schedule. Bring whatever record you have — even a partial one helps us plan correctly.
Do you offer the HPV (cervical cancer) vaccine?
Yes. HPV vaccination is recommended for girls (and can be given to women) ideally between 9–14 years, before exposure. Ask about the schedule during any visit.
Can I get a second opinion on a surgery I've been advised?
Yes — bring your reports and scans. A second opinion is a normal, sensible thing to ask for, and if surgery genuinely is the right answer, you'll be told that plainly too.
