Hi All, I just thought I would put my own personal experience with Srushti Hospital as I have read and gained information from lots of forums and think it's only fair that I should give back. We started the process with Dr Samundi back in February purely on the good reviews she has. I must say she is very experienced and listened to our specific case and advised accordingly. Dr Samundi is a lovely lady and quite patient. She gave us her personal cell no and we called on a few occasions to get advice on our queries and concerns. We went for the IUI treatment first (which didn't work) and now we are undergoing Natural cycle IVF, I have just had my embryo transfer- so now it's the dreaded 2 week wait!
Dr Samundi is in great demand therefore waiting times are very long. I had to write down my questions in case I forgot to ask something as when you do see her you do feel a bit rushed!
I do have a couple of criticisms. It is very difficult to communicate to the sisters/nurses if you don't speak Tamil (we are from the UK).Vital information gets left out, for example, you have to have a full bladder when you have the embryo transfer but this wasn't relayed to us, it didn't hinder the transfer but it would've been nice to know.
The nurses are nice, however, again they don't explain what they are about to do so you end up doing what they tell you to do. I was under sedation for both the laparoscopy and egg retrieval - without prior notice.
The only other criticism is that the hospital is very old and therefore the rooms are very primitive, and although they do clean daily it still has a funny smell and the sheets seem quite old. My husband was not a fan of this, mainly because we are from the UK and used to modern facilities. I don't mean to sound like a snob but I'm just being honest. The beds weren't the best and the sheets and pillows were worn.
On the whole I would recommend Dr Samundi and Srushti for treatment. I will get to know in two weeks whether or not it has been a success!
