Finding a healthcare professional you feel comfortable with can make a big difference during pregnancy, childbirth and the early years of parenting. But with so many options available, recommendations from other parents can be a useful starting point.
We asked parents in the IPF community to share healthcare professionals they have personally consulted and had a positive experience with. Based on the latest submissions received in September 2026, here are some gynaecologists and paediatricians in Kolkata recommended by parents.

How to Choose a Gynaecologist or Paediatrician
A recommendation can help you create a shortlist, but the right healthcare professional can vary depending on your individual needs.
When considering a doctor, you may want to look at:
- Location and accessibility: Consider how easy it is to reach the clinic or hospital, particularly during pregnancy or when your child is unwell.
- Communication style: Look for someone who listens to your questions and explains things in a way you understand.
- Your specific needs: Pregnancy care, high-risk pregnancy, fertility care, newborn care and paediatric concerns may require different areas of expertise.
- Availability: Find out how the doctor handles questions or concerns between appointments.
- Hospital facilities: If you are looking for maternity care, check the hospital’s facilities and services as well as the doctor’s practice.
- Your comfort level: Feeling comfortable discussing concerns openly can be an important part of the doctor-patient relationship.
