Antenatal counselling for paediatric surgical conditions involves providing information, support, and guidance to expectant parents.
Children are most often scared to go to doctors and are reluctant to tell clearly what is troubling them. It requires a lot of understanding of a small child’s behaviour and mentality to accurately diagnose the problem in a child. This skill is acquired by paediatric surgeons in their years of training.
To empathise with the parents, listen to their concerns and address each and every one of them thoroughly, so that all their fears and doubts are cleared, requires special patience and skill.
Dr. Apoorva Kulkarni has acquired these skills in his many years of training and experience so that parents and their child have the utmost peace of mind in going through the surgical process.

We had approached Dr. Apoorva Kulkarni for my son’s treatment related to Urology & Ano-Rectal functioning in the year 2020. From that time till present, we have not consulted any other child surgeon doctor. My son had a reflux pathology on right side for which Dr. Kulkarni has successfully done ureterostomy, ureteric re-implantation and ureterostomy closure on my child. All the operations done by Dr. Kulkarni have been successful and my son who is now 3.5 years old is a healthy, fine and active child. Dr. Kulkarni has not only been a great surgeon to our child but has been our pillar of strength during our tough times. He is extremely talented, highly skilled and successful pediatric surgeon who gives personal detailed guidance & help at each and every stages during surgery and also during follow ups pre and post surgery.
Dr. Apoorva Kulkarni has successfully operated on my daughter when she did not have anal opening. He did a very major surgery on my daughter and gave her a new anal opening. My daughter had an infection after the surgery which needed additional surgeries, but Dr. Kulkarni did the procedures for free and did not let my budget increase. I could not arrange so much money, but doctor took care of the budget so that I could manage. He supported me a lot during the treatment. Now she is passing stools well from her anal opening. From my daughter’s birth, we have been following up with Dr. Kulkarni for any problems. Doctor always gives me a lot of time to listen to all problems that I want to tell about my daughter. His fees are also reasonable. We continue to be in regular touch with Dr. Kulkarni, even when he is on leave.
Dr. Apoorva Kulkarni ne mere bacche ka treatment kiya. Emergency mein raat ko mujhe Dr. Apoorva Kulkarni ke baare mein pata chala. Maine raat ko unhe contact kiya toh doctor ne urgent mein mere bacche ke operation ke liye sab arrangement kar diya. Mere bacche ki jaan bachai aap ne sir. Use testis ka problem tha, woh apne aap mein ghoom gayi thi, aur doctor ne urgent operation karke use theek kiya. Dono testis bacha liye. Der raat ko urgent operation kiya aur agle din mera baccha theek ho gaya. Itna urgent operation sir ne der raat ko jag ke kiya phir bhi sir ne acche budget mein treatment kiya. Jitna budget operation ke pehle bola tha, utne hi budget mein sab treatment mere bacche ka ho gaya. Mere pas Dr. Kulkarni ke liye words nahi hai. Aaj mera baccha bahut khush hai, sirf doctor ki wajah se. Thank you sir.
Mera beta 12 years ka hai use operation ki jarurat thi. Uski peshab ki jagah neeche thi. Uska ek baar hua tha aur complication hua tha. Dobara operation karne ke liye muje ek Doctor ne 6 lac ka badget bataya tha. Aur itna budget arrange karna mere liye possible nahi tha . Tabhi hamare yaha par Ravi Bhai hai unhone muje Dr Apoorva Kulkarni sir ka reference diya, aur sir ne hume pehli baar mein hi hume samjhaya aur surgery ka budget diya Jo pehle doctor se bahot Kam tha 1.5 lakh .. kuch dino baad surgery ke liye bola hum ne paise arrange kiye aur finally surgery ho gaya .... mai sir ko bahot bahot thanks bolna chahti hun ki unhone hamari halat samajkar hamari madat ki aur hamare bahot sare paise bachaye aur hamari surgery successful bhi ho gayi ... abhi Mera beta Puri tarah se thik hai .... Thank you so much Dr Apoorva sir.

I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for Dr. Apoorva Kulkarni for the care and expertise he showed during my child's surgery. My 45 days old son was treated by him for Ileostomy and multiple followup procedures like revision and Ileostomy closure. All this in a span of 5 months. His professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail put both me and my wife at ease during what was an incredibly stressful time. I truly appreciate the time he took to explain everything clearly and keep us informed every step of the way. He was just a call/text away in case of any doubts. Thanks to him, my child has recovered well, and I am so grateful for his dedication towards my sons well-being. He has made a significant difference in our lives, and I will forever be thankful for his skill and kindness.
