Dr. Deepika G Kaladharan is a highly specialised Pediatric Intensive Care and Neonatology specialist at Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals, Chennai, with a rare dual fellowship profile, a Fellowship in Perinatal Medicine (Neonatology) and a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Paediatric Intensive Care. This combination makes her uniquely equipped to care for patients at both ends of the most critical spectrum in paediatric medicine, from premature newborns in the NICU to seriously ill children in the PICU. Very few specialists in Chennai hold fellowship-level training across both neonatology and paediatric intensive care simultaneously.
Her Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Paediatric Intensive Care represents the highest level of subspecialty training in critical care medicine for children, while her Fellowship in Perinatal Medicine reflects advanced, dedicated training in the care of high-risk pregnancies, preterm deliveries, and critically ill newborns. Together, these qualifications mean Dr. Deepika can seamlessly manage a baby from the moment of a high-risk delivery through the NICU and, if needed, into the PICU, providing continuity of expert care through the most vulnerable phases of a child’s life.
Available from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday through Saturday at Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals, Dr. Deepika G Kaladharan is consistently accessible for both NICU and PICU consultations. Families of critically ill newborns and children can trust her dual fellowship expertise and compassionate approach to deliver the highest standard of intensive and neonatal care.

A Heartfelt Thank You to the NICU Team at Dr. Mehta's Hospital, Chetpet There are moments in life when words feel too small for the gratitude you carry — this is one of those moments for our family. Our premature twin boys were held in the loving care of the NICU team. Ours was a journey that carried both joy and heartbreak — one of our precious sons became our angel along the way, and he remains forever in our hearts. Through it all, Dr. Arun Krishnan and the duty doctors — Dr. Sumanth, Dr. Parthiban, Dr. Avishek, Dr. Vijay, Dr. Aarthi, and Dr. Punitha — surrounded our boys with such tenderness, skill, and honesty. Our heartfelt thanks also to the staff nurses who cared for them like their own — Juliana, Beena Saji, Chithra, Shanmuga, Riya, Preethi, Roshini, Anju, Hemavathi, Sowbakiya, Soundarya, Agasri, Priyanka, Yogalakshmi, Deepika, and Lissa — and to the many other hands and hearts whose names we may not have caught, but whose faces and kindness we will never forget. It is because of their unwavering care that we brought our son home, safe and thriving. We are deeply, forever grateful to this team. Thank you for giving our son his first, hardest-won victory — and for giving us back our peace.Posted on Google Saravanan VidhyaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
