About the Doctor

Dr. Monika Kar

Consultant Paediatrician & Neonatologist

MBBS, MD (Paediatrics), Fellowship in Neonatology

Dr. Monika Kar has spent over 15 years caring for newborns, infants, children, and adolescents across Lucknow. Her fellowship in Neonatology gives her specialized expertise in high-risk newborn care, while her broader paediatric practice spans everything from routine growth check-ups to complex childhood illnesses.

What sets her apart is not just clinical skill, but how she communicates — with children, in a way that keeps them calm and curious rather than scared, and with parents, in plain language that leaves them informed rather than overwhelmed.

She also believes a good paediatrician plans for the years ahead, not just the visit at hand — which is why growth tracking, vaccination scheduling, and nutrition planning are built into her consultations from day one, not added as an afterthought.

Riya Sharma

Mother of Aarav, age 3

The clinic feels genuinely child-friendly, not just in decor but in how the staff talks to kids. Vaccination reminders on WhatsApp are a lifesaver too.

Priya Kapoor

Mother of Twins, age 5

We called at midnight when our daughter had a sudden high fever, and Dr. Kar's team responded within minutes. That 24x7 support gave us real peace of mind.

AV

Ananya Verma

Mother of Ira, age 1

The nutrition guidance for our picky eater completely changed mealtimes at home. Practical advice, not just generic charts. Truly grateful.
