Dr. Bhagyashri Khadke
Experience: | 11 years |
Education: | Maharashtra University Of Health Sciences |
Academic degree: | None |
Area of specialization: | I am an obstetrician and gynecologist, mostly rooted in hands-on practice more than words, but yeah, I’ve handled 2000+ normal deliveries and over 1000 cesareans—each one its own kind of unpredictable story. I do all minor procedures routinely and when needed, I also perform major surgeries like TAH, VH, cystectomies, myomectomy etc. I’m also comfortable with hysteroscopy and basic laparoscopy, not the flashy kind but practical and solid work that gets things done.
I deal with a lot of high-risk pregnancies too, some of them come in already complicated while others just turn that way midway — you just have to stay alert. My practice also includes helping women through infertility concerns, irregular periods, PCOD, contraception guidance, UTI issues, lactation support... it’s a mix really. Each case needs its own time & approach, can’t always rush with textbook ansers.
What I enjoy most? honestly, it’s when a worried patient walks in and walks out a bit lighter. |
Achievements: | I am someone who kinda enjoys diving deep into the “why” behind cases, not just the what. Did quite a few case presentations back when I was in the General Club at KEM Hospital — some went smooth, some were honestly messy, but all of 'em pushed me to think harder. My thesis study was done at Lilavati Hospital, which—let’s just say—taught me a lot more than books ever could (and a few sleepless nights too lol). I also did a basic ultrasound course in Obs-Gyn, which helps big time in day-to-day OPD and antenatal work. Oh and yeah, I hold a FMAS fellowship in minimal access surgery — that was intense but kinda changed how I look at OT workflows now. |
I am a gynecologist currently freelancing in Goregaon and Malad, which honestly gives me the space to connect one-on-one with patients without the hospital rush — though I still kinda miss that too sometimes. My medical journey started with MBBS at GMC Aurangabad, which laid the foundation for everything that followed. After that I went on to do my DGO from Seth G S Medical College & KEM Hospital in Parel, Mumbai. That place was intense, I mean the kind of exposure we got there — high-volume OPDs, difficult deliveries, emergency cases — it really shaped how I approach situations now. I also did a 6-month stint as an SMO at Kamala Nehru Hospital in Pune, right in Mangalwar Peth. Wasn't long, but it gave me a lotta practical, ground-level feel of public sector gynec care. Then I joined Lilavati Hospital & Research Centre in Bandra to pursue Secondary DNB in OBGY — that phase was academically heavy, but also opened me up to high-end procedures and multi-disciplinary teamwork. Right after that, I worked as SMO at ESIS Kandivali for 9 months. It was one of those postings where you’re juggling between antenatal patients and OT prep and last-minute emergencies — not glam but very real. Later I came back to Lilavati, this time as a Clinical Associate. Did a full year there. The environment was more structured, but honestly it was the team and seniors who really pushed me to keep learning — laparoscopy, high-risk pregnancy protocols, patient counselling, all of it. Every stage taught me something diff, like, small details I never noticed before. Right now I'm freelancing, meeting patients across Goregaon and Malad. It’s quieter but more personal, I get to follow-up better, and some patients become kinda like family over time. I mostly handle antenatal care, PCOS cases, menstrual problems, fertility counselling and general gynec OPD stuff. It’s not just about giving meds — sometimes they just need time, to talk, to feel heard. I mean, yeah the titles and degrees matter, sure, but what really stayed with me is how much we can change with just a careful ear and the right words... maybe a little patience too.
