Dr Ankita Kaushal, says, “As doctors dealing with the sensitive and often emotionally-charged world of infertility and IVF, we know all too well the toll it can take on a patient's mental health and overall wellbeing. Each IVF journey is unique, with its own set of challenges, setbacks, and high-stakes outcomes. It's our responsibility not just to provide expert medical care, but to also be a source of compassion, support, and guidance during these difficult times.”

“When listening to our patients recount their IVF experiences, we make a conscious effort to be fully present, to validate their feelings, and to offer a non-judgmental space for them to process their emotions. We understand that the physical and hormonal demands of IVF can be taxing, both mentally and physically. That's why we emphasize the importance of self-care - whether it's encouraging regular exercise, mindfulness practices, or simply carving out time for rest and relaxation. Above all, we strive to approach each case with empathy, patience, and a holistic perspective. Infertility is a profoundly personal journey, and we know that supporting our patients' mental and physical health is just as crucial as the medical procedures themselves. It's a delicate balance, but one that we're committed to maintaining, in service of helping our patients achieve their dreams of building a family,” shares Dr Ankita Kaushal.
