Dr. Gade was part of the clinical team involved in the management of one of the world's rare quintuplet pregnancies and deliveries at Kokilaben Hospital, Mumbai — an extraordinarily rare high-risk obstetric case requiring exceptional multidisciplinary coordination and neonatal support.

A patient with a large fibroid uterus of 14-week size — conventionally requiring abdominal surgery — was successfully managed with non-descent vaginal hysterectomy (NDVH) under Dr. Gade's expertise, achieving complete uterine removal without an abdominal incision, significantly reducing recovery time and surgical morbidity.

• Department Head Expertise: Patients value Dr. Gade's role as Head of OBG at one of Mumbai's premier tertiary hospitals, providing access to comprehensive multidisciplinary resources alongside her personal surgical expertise.
• Unique Cosmetic Gynaecology Expertise: Patients seeking cosmetic gynaecological procedures including labiaplasty specifically seek Dr. Gade for her ESAG-certified fellowship — rare expertise in Mumbai and India.
• Evidence-Based Approach: Reviewers describe her as a doctor who explains diagnoses and procedures clearly, with treatment recommendations driven by clinical evidence rather than procedural preference.

Patient-Centred Care

Dr. Gade's clinical philosophy combines comprehensive women's healthcare — from high-risk obstetrics and minimally invasive gynaecological surgery to cosmetic gynaecology — with a commitment to academic excellence reflected in her DNB teaching role and research awards. She heads the OBG Department at Kokilaben Hospital, applying the full resources of one of Mumbai's most advanced tertiary hospitals to the management of complex cases. Her award-winning research on cervical cancer precursors reflects her commitment to preventive as well as curative women's health.

Technology & Innovation

Dr. Gade employs Germany-certified (Kiel University) minimal invasive surgery techniques including TLH, laparoscopic myomectomy and cystectomy, NDVH (up to 14-week uterus), sling surgery, operative hysteroscopy, colposcopy, and cervical cytology.
