Dr Mhamunkar is excellent. She's highly experienced and knowledgeable, I could 100% trust her with everything throughout my pregnancy journey! She answered all my questions and concerns like a mother would! She's such a kind doctor. She is thorough with her treatment and ensures no stone is left unturned in case of any complication/abnormality at any point of time. I had a wonderful experience throughout my pregnancy all the way to labor and delivery I am eternally grateful to Dr Mhamunkar for delivering my baby and being a strong support through the process! read more

Doctor is experienced and good. She offers good advice and is attentive. This review is however for the long wait hours. I have always had to wait more than 45 mins to an hour after the scheduled appointment time for the doctor to actually come see me. It is frustrating and shows no respect for the patients schedule. Her office staff keeps changing, some of them are good while others are downright disrespectful. read more

One-Star Review - Frustrating Experience with Dr. Vidya Nitin Mhamunkar's Office I wish I could comment on Dr. Mhamunkar's medical care, but I've barely gotten past the front desk, for my wife's appointment --because no one seems to be there. Phone calls ring out, voicemails disappear into a black hole, and texts or emails go unanswered for days (if ever). Simple tasks--like scheduling a first visit or rescheduling when life happens--turn into a stress-inducing scavenger hunt for a human response. When you finally manage to secure an appointment, you dread having to cancel or adjust it, because the process is just as impossible in reverse. A medical practice--especially an OB-GYN--should make communication effortless for patients who may already be anxious. Unfortunately, the chronic radio silence from this office sends the opposite message: patient convenience and peace of mind aren't priorities. If prompt, reliable communication matters to you (and it should, when it comes to your health), look elsewhere until this practice overhauls its front-desk operations. read more

Best doctor ever! Dr Mhamunkar is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. She always takes the time to answer all your questions. She made the pregnancy journey extremely easy for me. If you are looking for an OB, you have to go to Dr. Mhamunkar. read more

Dr Mhamunkar is great! It was my first pregnancy during pandemic and her help made us feel like all the hard work and meticulous planning was a breeze. She explained everything clearly and made our pregnancy journey a very memorable one. read more

Simply put - best doctor ever!! She delivered my 2 babies. You can be fearless when you are with her

We had mixed experience with Dr Mhamunkar. There are some good parts to the doctor which is reflected in her experience as she have seen complicated cases in the past and is thorough with blood work and tests. There are some issues which were minor for us like she is never on time with the appointments. And there were some issues which caused major distress like she declined to do VBAC in the middle of pregnancy and asked us to find another doctor for it. It was difficult to find any one good at the time and we decided on an elective C-section. For C section she invited a trainee to do parts of it which was never shared with us before. The healing process of c section was longer and pain was felt for months. read more

Dr Mhamunkar has been the best doctor for us, something we have compared with our friends Doctor. It's an emotional time for couples , with their first baby and dr. Vidya has been a blessing. She is dedicated, very attentive and deeply cares about her patients. I would recommend her in a heartbeat and also trust her process. read more

Dear Dr. Mhamunkar, My husband and I would like to thank you for taking part in the birth of our little baby girl. We felt very comfortable and confident knowing that you would be able to handle any situation if one was to arise. You are amazing! I always wanted to have an unmedicated natural delivery and it was possible because of your constant guidance. You being so calm in the final stage gave me the confidence that I can do it. I am so glad that we chose you for this amazing journey of birth and I was able to deliver my baby the way I always wanted to. We will never forget that day and You! Love, Suparna & Bhushan read more

Dr.Vidya helped with the birth of both my son and daughter. We initially visited a few doctors but she was the one for us. Right level of support and without going into too much detail, she'll give you the right medical advice. She is calm during an emergency. Highly recommend her services. Thank you Dr. Vidya read more

Short summary: Very brilliant, mother-like, one of the best doctors in Bay-area. Follows treatment protocol rigorously, she look after her patient before and after delivery with absolute precision. Very happy with her service. Long story: We started our journey with Dr. Vidya in Dec-2018 with few pre-screening tests before planning pregnancy since then we had one miscarriage 21-Oct-2019 and one successful baby boy 24-May-2021 all handled by her. Throughout our difficult time and good time she was there with us on each and every step and made sure she didn't live us hanging in between. No matter when we caller her office, she always responds round the clock. While my wife went in to delivery, she had lots of pre-conditions which sent her to ICU while operating to take our baby out. Even in that difficult conditions, she stayed with us till 3:30am and made sure all doctors panel were present to look after her @El-camino hospital. Yes that's true that her appointments run little late (sometimes pretty late) but from our recent experience I learnt that there is a reason behind it. The reason is, she gives proper time to each of her patients unlike other doctors who always quickly wrap-up to be on top their calendar. I would definitely ignore appointment time delay thing. It is for sure worth the wait, trust me on that. We also started with Yelp review and friend's recommendations, and after meeting with Doctor Vidya, we knew she is the one whom we are looking for. If you are reading this review and in need of OB/GN then do choose her without second thought in mind. There are always bad reviews when your expectations are sky-rocket but if you are looking for your mother and baby's safety and healthy delivery then you won't got wrong with Dr.Vidya. read more

Vidya Nitin Mhamunkar, MD, FACOG - My wife, our baby and Dr. Vidya Mhanmukar on the day of discharge. - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Mountain View, California

If you are searching for a gynecologist/ obstetrician... Dr Vidya is the one ! No words can do justice to how good she is!( I will still try ) First , she will always greet you with a big warm smile ( it will be hard to see if you are visiting her during this ongoing pandemic :p ) She is absolutely thorough with her work . She will make sure you understand the importance and the reason of tests and medicines she ask to take . She will take care of you in all possible ways . I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for an expert plus a person with good heart read more

This was my very first contact to the clinic to get an appointment with the Doctor. No one is ever available to speak. Calls always go to the voicemail. Got a msg from someone around 6 PM who didn't even mention his/ her name until asked, just stated that it's from the Doctor's office, asked the email address and asked to sign the documents. Who on earth signs the documents without checking the authenticity of some random msg. When I called back next day during business hours, it went on voicemail as usual and got a msg 'Fill form first' I replied showing my concern that I wanted to check the authenticity on call first before I sign the documents. Got a reply 'not until you fill the form.' Received extremely rude responses with the advise to find another physician and this was from someone named Riya. I really want to get myself checked up with Dr. Vidya but your services are absolutely horrendous and I as a patient just cannot go ahead with this. God knows how further services will be. It is imperative to have someone on call to hear out the patient and you can easily have one dedicated for that, apart from msg service which is probably ok once the patient is onboarded. Also, please have your office hours updated online. I called the office on Friday during business hours but this person replied on msg it wasn't. read more

After changing insurance, I needed to find a new doctor for my girly bits. I spent forever on the insurance website, going through doctors and reading reviews on them when I finally decided on Dr Vidya Mhamunkar. Choosing a new doctor, site unseen, is like taking a shot in the dark. This time, however, I am very pleased with my choice. For my 1st appt, I arrived a bit early so I could fill out the mandatory paperwork. I was quickly taken back to my exam room and then there was a small wait for Dr Vidya. I didn't mind though because she was very thorough with me, taking her time to go over many questions and a general background chat. She even took my email to send me some information on travel vaccinations after she learned I am a wanderlust! I enjoyed our visit. She was very patient, gentle and had a calm demeanor. And did I mention she was thorough? I really appreciated her time and attention. Dr Vidya Mhamunkar is located in the back of the El Camino Hospital, the women's center. She is on the 2nd floor, room #261. I would recommend her to family or friends or you. :-) Might see ya there! read more

Dr. Mhamunkar is the BEST OB! We are lucky to meet her for my first baby. She is very brilliant, caring, professional and hard working. In the meanwhile, she always give me a feeling like a mom which makes me relaxed. With her guidance, my fears and concerns about first delivery disappeared. She is really the doctor you can trust. I'll definitely work with her for the next baby delivery and highly recommend her to everyone! read more

I give 5 star to Dr Vidya Mhamunkar . We got her reference from friends. Initially we were little uneasy about the premature online systems(compared to PAMF ) , outside lab work etc . But that's not at all a problem when you have doctor who takes care of everything.Doctor has lot of patience and answers all our questions. She treated me with maximum care. She suggested right tests / ultrasound during those 9 months. When we were concerned about some problems she gave complete background of the problem , explained the positives and negatives. She prepares her patients very well, for ex what are the important things to do in 6th month / 7th month etc, and in the followup visit she checks the progress of this. She was very specific on the blood pressure , pulse , weight gain etc during pregnancy and suggests right diet plans to keep all these in right range . I see there were some concerns about the wait time at office. Initially we had to wait for some time during the weekends, then we moved all our prenatal visits to weekdays. Weekday wait time is very less (try to book first available appt ). On the day of labor she was in contact with nurse all time, suggested all right medications, waited till midnight (after office hours) for delivery. Since doctor was very near that gave me additional confidence during labor . Post delivery she visited everyday to check my recovery process. Overall I am really happy with Doctor. read more

Thank you doctor for all the support and healthy babies that you gifted us with all your care. Dr. Vidya is an excellent doctor with her enormous experience. She is very helpful and explains the facts in proper way. She has delivered my 2 babies as full term and healthy. Only pain is waiting time during visits, that i can understand as she might have any emergency visit to hospital, waiting didn't bother me any time. When i was labour for my first child, i remember she visited at 3AM on my second day in labour. She took care of me and baby so well, both my deliveries did not face any complications. She does her work with care and affection. After my second child, we trust her completely. We are grateful to you. read more

Dr. Vidya is extremely approachable and detailed in her explanations and understanding my history. After some bad experiences with other doctors, I'm really glad I found her. I'll recommend her to anyone who wants to find a long-term doc who can guide you through general Menstrual health and future Pregnancy. She made me feel very positive. read more

I don't think Dr Mhamunkar needs the yelp review because the large number of expecting mom wants to be her patient but I still write one since I actually found her on Yelp. She is AMAZING. I told the nurse during my labor that I will only wait for Dr Mhamunkar to come and will deliver, and she always be there for her patients. She delivered both of my babies and only she can make things look easier. I am only comfortable with her. She gives great advices, follow my pregnancy carefully so when it comes to delivery, it's a bit less complicated. She is an expert in this area and I completely trust her. I found myself really lucky to find her. read more

Always late to appointments and after hours of waiting she would ask to come the next day. Imagine that during pregnancy. Sends duplicate invoices and when we question that, she would get upset and use rude gestures. read more

Our daughter is FIVE recently :-) Really feel bad about being late in writing this review. My wife was in her third trimester when we moved to US and had little time to chose a doctor. One of my friends gave her reference. We were glad that he did. We were always given detailed information about the baby and no nonsense. My wife was very comfortable with Dr Vidya. She listens carefully and patiently to all you say and responds clearly. She is a bit extra cautious which is very very very much needed and I appreciate that. I agree to the point in other reviews that you have to wait a bit during your appointment possibly because, she listens to all the concerns and takes extra time to explain thoroughly. read more

I generally don't write reviews however I couldn't stop myself writing for Dr Mhamunkar for the great love and respect I have for her. She is one of the best doctors I ever met. We approached Dr.Vidya 3 years back when we were facing some infertility issue. Doc examined us thoroughly and provided suitable suggestions. Later when I conceived with my first baby, we approached her again. The doc is thorough in all the checkups, she gives you time for answering all your questions. Dr only suggests all the necessary testings and provides recommendations for optional one. Dr Vidya tries her best for everyone to have normal delivery. You will feel very personal and motherly care from her and I feel this is how dr is with all her patients. Also even for the deliveries during night, dr will be personally there to support the patients. Office staff Susan is also very knowledgeable and helpful. She is cheerful and helps answering all your queries and dr followups. I feel so happy to have Dr Vidya as my gynecologist. I have recommended Dr Vidya to all my friends and would recommend her to everyone. read more

Even five stars are not enough to justify the dedication and affection Dr.Vidya has towards her patients. If Dr.Vidya is your gynecologist then stop worrying and just relax.. because you are in safe hands , Dr.Vidya will worry for you more than you do for yourself. Being her patient since last 3 years,I actually owe her many more reviews. I am really very lucky to have her as my ob. She delivered my baby boy just 2 weeks before. I had a high risk pregnancy with gestational diabetes and gestational hypertension.Dr.Vidya monitored me throughout and made sure that she was not risking me or baby at any point. I was induced after week 37, she let me choose the date of induction as per my convenience. She was taking my updates every few hours when I was admitted ,even late in the night.After 24hrs of labor I delivered my baby boy normally (vaginally). I cannot imagine any better treatment a doctor could have provided. Now she is like a family to me,not just a doctor. There were situations when I was trying to conceive, where Dr.Vidya could have listened to my request & treated me and benefited from that.But she selflessly referred to the experts in that field and told me it is for my betterment. I could not thank her enough for that. ( sorry ,cannot disclose specifics) Dr.Vidya is very disciplined and has great empathy towards her patients. She remembers every little detail of your history & pays attention to even common pregnancy complaints. Both of her office assistants are great and welcoming. Many times they even cracked jokes which relaxed me when high blood pressure numbers were taking my test!! Her online portal is very transparent. I always had immediate access to every test result, monitoring graphs & ultrasounds. Last but not least for all those patients who crib over long wait time.. Yes!! When Dr. Vidya was delivering my baby,she was late for her very first appointment of that day. Childbirth is a lifetime event and she takes responsibility of that for every patient. So whenever you are waiting, there is always someone on the 1st floor in labor. I also observed that she has her patients prioritized as per their situation. So if you are waiting for a very long time,that means you are not in critical situation and doing better than most of her patients. If you can't get pass that then that is your bad luck. read more

Irresponsible and doesnt follow up with the patient. Doesn't reply to the email or phone. Did so many tests and didnt come to any conclusion or prescribe me anything for my problem. I visited her for almost 5 times bu every time she says to come up for next appointment. She did not solve my problem yet, I would not recommend to visit her. read more

Dr Mhamunkar was my OB back in 2013 when I delivered my first baby. She was very caring, attentive, and responded to all the questions/doubts throughout my pregnancy. She always spent enough time in the exam room to make sure all my questions have been answered. I couldn't have her as my OB for my second baby as our insurance changed, but if I had the right insurance I would have chosen her without any hesitation. read more

Dr Vidya is the most caring and approachable doctor I had. She takes time to explain all courses of action. She took great care of me throughout my pregnancy and was very vigilant when complications arose. She made exceptions so I could attend all pregnancy classes along with my frequent visits. We love her and are lucky we had her. read more

Dr Mhamunkar is my obgyn. I rate her as a very good gynecologist. All that's needed for a for a first time mom is getting your questions answered, that releives lot of pressure from us. She is very responsive in answering the questions posted in the portal. Also, she has been monitoring my health and ordering the required tests in advance. Overall she has been very kind and informative. Even during labor she used to get in touch with me and explain me the plan as my labor progressed forward. I am very happy that I chose her as my gynecologist, thankful to her. read more

Dr. Vidya is one of the best doctor in Bay Area.I would rate her more than 5 stars for sure. She treats her patients with utmost care and compassion.She gave good advice and guidance during my pregnancy. During delivery she stayed beside me even though it was midnight and even at such late hours she showed lot of patience and supported me as her own family.Even post delivery she always responded in time to all my health concerns. At her clinic as well the staff (Helen and Indira) are friendly,caring and responsive. Highly recommend her to all. read more

My baby boy was delivered by doctor Vidya Mhamunkar. She is a wonderful doctor I have ever came across. I was very lucky to have her. The realisation of her great fullness increases with time when I hear from my friends the difficulties they have faced during their delivery. read more

Vidya is my gync. She is amazing. I had high risk pregnancy to begin with and her guidance and support helped me a lot throughout the pregnancy. She is very understanding and will answer all your concerns. She is personally available through phone and messages and emails and response time is great. Thanks a lot doctor. read more

Dr. Vidya was our GYN and we are happy that we chose her. She was always there to help my wife. She treated us always with care and replied to all our queries in details. Dr. Vidya does excellent job in following up and doing regular check in. She called us quite often to check if my wife is doing ok. Whenever we have doubt, we used to message her on her cell phone and she was kind to reply us in short time. Whenever there was emergency, she was helpful in getting appointment for us from other specialists. My mother-in-law who has seen many doctors, was really impressed with Dr. Vidya too. Dr. Vidya is definitely one of the best. read more

Dr. Vidya is the best , she is sweet and very caring doctor. She is always available a call away. Always answered my questions patienty and made sure i am taken care of. Dr. Vidya has delivered my first born in 2015 and also my second one in March 2019 .With Dr. Vidya around i had no fears at all. We are very lucky to have her as our doctor. Thank you so much for everything Ma'am read more

Dr Mhamunkar is very attentive and thorough, professional while also personal. Nothing was too small for her to notice. And she is always available to answer questions. I am also very impressed by her dedication to her practice. We need more doctors like her. read more

I wish yelp had negative rating and i would have given that. For some reason her previous profile and reviews have disappeared and new one with a 5 star has appeared. seems like she just discovered a way to get rid of negative feedback and start fresh. I chose this doctor as she had glowing reviews and being an indian I thought it would be good to go to an indian lady doc. There is always a lot of waiting around in her office. First keep waiting outside then sit in a room and keep waiting. If the doctor is running late they can just call up and inform, all other staff do that. She makes it a point to push you into a room so you dont talk to other patient and can exchange notes. She will make you wait in the patient room for 30-40 min !! She sends women at 9 and even 12 weeks of pregnancy for diabetes tests. Seems like she is trying to pin the diabetes label on you. She will tell you that you are diabetic even when you are not. Will send you to the worst possible endocrinologist ever - Len Doberne's office (They deserve their own review) She will send you for a battery of tests. Meanwhile the endo will make ur life hell and keep pushing insulin on you. And this is almost a pattern. Whoever i spoke to from her practice had the same story to tell. If not this and she will find something else to make the entire pregnancy stressful for you. Most of the tests and ultrasounds she will send you to, the clinic will be surprised and will tell you that you did not need to do it. She kept trying to convince me all the time that something was wrong and would require intervention. Sometimes she would say baby is small and is not growing. another time, baby's shoulder could be very broad and may not be able to come out. My baby came out in 10 minutes of pushing. as you get closer to your due date she starts telling you about inducing and c-section. She tried to coax me into inducing too and all other patients i know. She induced this other girl to suit her own schedule, in labor she tried to create an urgency and talk the patient into c-section at 8 cm dialation !! This pregnant lady finally gave birth naturally and said that it was because of the nurses else Dr. M would have done a C-section even if the baby was out. Finally i changed my OB and found that i was not even diabetic and was being stressed for no reason. This lady is completely money minded. I would not recommend anyone go to her unless they want to have a stressful pregnancy read more

This review is long overdue. I had my son about 2 years ago. I changed my OBGYN three times before I found the perfect match - Dr Mhamunkar. One of my primary concerns was if the doctor I consult with throughout my pregnancy will be the same Doctor delivering my baby. I realized that with medical groups such as PAMF or Altos Oaks, the on-call Doctor will be the one delivering, not necessarily the doctor you have built a relationship with over nine months. This search lead me to Dr Mhamunkar. She is the most knowledgable, genuine and caring Doctor I have ever met. I really wanted to go natural if there were no complications without epidural. But I did not want a home birth as I wanted to ensure that my baby and I have the best medical care if need be. Dr Mhamunkar fully understood my birth plan and was not pushy in any way. I was lucky enough to not have any serious complications. When I went into labor and checked into the hospital, she was there within 20 mins at around 1 AM! I had seen her earlier in the morning for a checkup and she was still there. It turned out that my son's heart relate was a bit on the low side. But she did not panic, nor did she make me panic. She said that she would continue monitoring as I tried natural birth, but had me prepped for an emergency C section IF she felt it was getting too risky. The hospital nurses tried to discourage me from going natural when I was screaming in pain saying unsupportive things. However, Dr Mhamunkar would check with me every hour or so to see if I was managing the pain and would let me be. Her primary concern was any risk to my baby or me, as was mine. Pain was not a risk. That was my choice. I was able to birth naturally and Dr Mhamunkar took great care of me to ensure there was not too much tearing. In short, I am blessed to have found such a great OB. I trust her. I have recommended my friends to her. My friends had higher risk pregnancies and she was loved by them as well. Wait times maybe unpredictable, but this is because she delivers all her patients. So if there is an emergency, she is the one attending to it. I have no problem waiting because I know when I am the emergency, I will be her priority. read more

Dr. Mhamunkar is the best. She delivered our son in Dec 2011. My wife was 8 months pregnant when we had to move from Maryland to the bay area due to my job. Finding a good doctor was the most important thing for us and we didn't have much time. We found Dr. Mhamunkar and called her few weeks before we moved. She asked us to fax all the required documents and made sure she was up to date with all the information. She even called couple of times to talk with my wife. We were already very comfortable with her even though we hadn't met her. When we arrived in the bay area, we set up an appointment immediately for the next day. She was very detail oriented and took her time talking all about my wife's history, medication, tests and other information. We knew we had made the right decision going with her. She made us feel very comfortable. Whenever my wife had any doubts, she used to call Dr. Mhamunkar. Even if she couldn't answer right then, she used to give a call back to ensure all the doubts are clear. We even remember calling her at 4 in the morning. During the delivery, she made regular visits to monitor the progress and talk us through the process. We found her diagnosis was spot on. She took all the necessary precautionary measures to make sure my wife and the baby was doing well. My wife's delivery was a long process and being first time parents, we had no experience. Her advice and support helped us make right decisions. Even after the delivery, she helped my wife recover and monitored her progress by doing frequent visits. We would recommend Dr. Mhamunkar without any doubt. She is very detail oriented, takes time to understand her patients. She treats them as family members. read more

Dr. Vidya is very caring and knowledgeable. She spent enough time to understand my health concerns and guided with proper treatment plans and diagnostic tests. read more

I wish I could give more than 5 rating to Dr. Vidya. She is an amazing personality, care taker and a doctor. After doing lot of research, we narrowed down to go to Dr. Vidya for consultation. After our first meeting, we made up our mind to have her as my wife's OB. During entire pregnancy of my wife, Dr Vidya was very supportive. She answered phone call during odd hours and explained everything patiently. I would highly recommend Dr. Vidya. Hats off to you, M'am! read more

Pros: Trustworthy, Knowledgeable, Explains medical condition in detail. Listens and answers questions well. Very well connected to other medical professionals. Spends appropriate amount of time with every patient. Cons: Sometimes wait time is more than expected, which can be overlooked taking into account how busy she is handling her other patients who are in labor. I choose Dr. Mhamunkar after visiting five different OBGYN from various hospitals. And I never regretted my decision. She was very friendly with me and I felt the comfort right from first visit. Throughout the pregnancy she explained each and every medical condition and development in detail. She was always open for discussions and was very polite while talking. I believe that she is very knowledgeable and current with her practices. In my case, she foresaw some of the problems and made sure that I am getting correct medical help at the earliest. Dr. Mhamunkar is very well connected with other medical professionals and recommended me other Doctors as and when needed. She personally called the Doctor (General Surgery Specialist) on my behalf and requested for immediate appointment. At one point of time, I was not happy with another Doctor (Endocrinologist) she recommended to me and when I told her so, she immediately recommended me to another endocrinologist from Stanford Hospital without any hesitation. The point I would like to make here is, she is very open to listen to your concerns and try to find a way out by suggesting alternatives if you discuss your concerns with her openly. Dr Mhamunkar often goes beyond professionalism to treat her patients. I have received calls from her after office hours to let me know my test results or to address my concerns. During my labor she was with there with me for more than 24 hours starting from 1.00 am in the night. She efficiently handled delivery, post-delivery complications and treatment for me. She was kind enough to discuss a complicated pregnancy related issue with one of my family member at no cost upon my request. As far as her staff is concerned, I found the receptionist to be as good or bad as any other hospital reception staff. I would like to advise other people to trust your Doctor rather than reading the things over the internet site. read more

Updating after 2 years. I went back, ignoring the few red flags from my last experience and giving benefit of doubt to the doctor - only to be disappointed by the practice. I found changed offices, staff and attitudes. Would not recommend anymore. read more
