Gynaecologist in Thalambur, OMR

The clinic is at 3/13, Pillayar Kovil Street, Thalambur, on the inland side of OMR (Rajiv Gandhi Salai). From either direction on OMR, turn inland at Navalur junction onto Thalambur Road and carry on into Thalambur. Pillayar Kovil Street is off Thalambur Road.

By bus. MTC buses along OMR stop at Navalur junction from either direction. Share-autos and app cabs cover the last stretch along Thalambur Road. Tell the driver Pillayar Kovil Street.

By cab or two-wheeler. From SIPCOT IT Park at Siruseri, head north on OMR to Navalur junction and turn inland. From Sholinganallur, Semmancheri or Egattur, head south and turn at the same junction. Allow extra time for OMR traffic in the evening peak.

Parking. Two-wheelers can be parked close to the clinic, and cars can usually be left on the street nearby.

Women along OMR often search for a female gynaecologist at the end of a working day. The answer at this branch is short. Dr. Ragavi Vikram is a woman, and she is the only doctor who consults at RV Clinic Thalambur. She takes the history, does the examination and writes the plan, all herself.

Many patients here are in their first pregnancy, in a city where their mother or mother-in-law is not around to ask. Questions that feel too small for a hospital counter, such as whether a cramp is normal or whether a food is safe, are exactly what the consultation is for. Ask them all. Between visits, they can go on WhatsApp.

Privacy matters more when your colleagues live in the same gated community. Nothing about your visit is discussed outside the room. The examination room is separate from the consulting room, and a lady attender is present during every examination. Your husband can sit in on the consultation or wait outside, whichever you prefer.

Fertility visits get the same privacy. The first consultation is with both of you, and the husband's tests are arranged along with yours.

The lean at Thalambur follows the people who live along OMR: couples in their late twenties and thirties, many in a first pregnancy, many trying to conceive, some with PCOD. Antenatal check-ups, sugar and BP checks in pregnancy, ovulation-induction tablets with follicle tracking, and a copper-T or pills after the baby are the everyday work here. Deliveries and all surgery are done by Dr. Ragavi at Unittas Multispeciality Hospital, not at the clinic. IVF and ICSI are not offered; if either is needed, she says so early and refers you to a fertility centre. The same doctor consults at RV Clinic Madipakkam, so every service listed on the services page is available at either branch.

The catchment runs along OMR from Sholinganallur in the north to Kelambakkam in the south, and the evening session, which runs every day of the week, does most of the work for women who cannot leave the office in the morning. Navalur is the nearest, about 3 km, and the gynaecologist for Navalur patients page describes the turn at the junction. Siruseri, home to SIPCOT IT Park, is about 4 km south; many patients come straight from work, and the gynaecologist for Siruseri patients page gives the route. Padur, with Hindustan University and the road to Kelambakkam, is about 3 km; see the gynaecologist for Padur patients page.

Kelambakkam patients, including families around Chettinad Health City, come up OMR for about 5 km; the gynaecologist for Kelambakkam patients page has the details. From the north, Sholinganallur and the ELCOT SEZ are about 6 km away, described on the gynaecologist for Sholinganallur patients page, and Semmancheri is a similar distance; see the gynaecologist for Semmancheri patients page. Egattur, around Marina Mall, and Karanai are both close, and a share-auto or a short cab ride is enough.
