Dr. Philomena Vaz

At 52, I was experiencing severe perimenopausal symptoms that multiple doctors dismissed as 'normal aging.' Dr. Vaz was the first to listen and order comprehensive hormone testing. She discovered a rare pituitary issue masquerading as menopause and created a tailored treatment plan. I've regained my energy and quality of life thanks to her investigative approach.

Our daughter was born with MRKH syndrome and felt hopeless about ever carrying a child. Dr. Vaz pioneered a groundbreaking uterine transplant procedure at Manipal Hospital - the first in South India. Today, our granddaughter is 6 months old, born from the same uterus that carried her mother. Dr. Vaz didn't just treat a condition; she built our family.

As a professional athlete at 28, my irregular periods were affecting my performance. Dr. Vaz designed a unique hormonal regimen that synchronized with my training cycles without compromising my athletic goals. I went on to win nationals the following season while maintaining perfect reproductive health.

My wife developed sudden postpartum preeclampsia hours after delivery. Dr. Vaz's team recognized the symptoms instantly and initiated emergency protocols that prevented seizures. Her round-the-clock monitoring for 48 hours ensured complete recovery - we witnessed medical excellence in its purest form.

During a routine checkup at 19 weeks pregnant, Dr. Vaz detected subtle signs of cervical insufficiency that others had missed. Her immediate cerclage procedure and modified bed rest protocol saved our twins' lives. Our boys are now healthy toddlers because of her extraordinary vigilance.
