A gynaecologist for patients travelling from Karwar
Patients from Karwar, across the Karnataka border, travel to Dr. Mayur Pai (MBBS, MS Obstetrics & Gynaecology) at Pai Hospital in Vaddem, Vasco-da-Gama, for gynaecological consultation and care. There is no Pai Hospital branch in Karwar itself — the consultation, any scan, and any procedure happen at the one hospital in Goa, and free patient transport makes that cross-border journey realistic rather than a barrier.
Why the border does not have to mean a different doctor each time
For patients near the Goa–Karnataka border, Karwar and Vasco-da-Gama are close enough that a day trip for a consultation is entirely workable, and the advantage of making the trip is continuity: Dr. Pai sees and treats patients himself rather than as part of a rotating team, so the doctor you see at your first visit is the one who follows your case at every visit after that — useful for anything that needs more than one appointment to sort out, such as a fertility work-up or a pregnancy.
What a consultation covers
General gynaecological care
Heavy, irregular or painful periods, pelvic pain, vaginal discharge or infection, and routine check-ups. See heavy or abnormal bleeding.
Pregnancy care
Routine antenatal care through to high-risk pregnancy, with the same doctor at each visit.
Fertility treatment
Investigation and treatment for both partners, on-site. See fertility treatment.
Contraception and family planning
Choosing or changing a method of contraception, handled as part of routine care. See contraception.
Surgery, when needed
Fibroids, ovarian cysts and similar problems are operated on by Dr. Pai himself, by laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery where appropriate. See laparoscopic surgery.
Getting from Karwar to the hospital
For patients travelling from Karwar for a procedure or a scan, the hospital sends a car and brings you home again, free of cost, so the distance across the state border does not become a reason to put off care. Mention when you call that you are coming from Karwar so it can be arranged around your appointment. See how to reach us.
Sending reports ahead
If you already have previous reports, scans or test results, send them by WhatsApp before you travel, and ask for a phone consultation first if you would rather understand roughly what to expect before making the trip.
