Every pregnancy is different. Dr Dharsh takes time to listen, understand your preferences and plan your care around you and your baby.

The clinic supports natural birth. Share your birth preferences early, and together you will agree a plan that is medically safe for you and your baby. If a caesarean section is needed, it is carried out at the hospital where you have chosen to deliver.

Dr Dharsh delivers mainly at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, and also at Thomson Medical Centre. Care continues after your baby arrives, with postnatal reviews and breastfeeding advice.
