She also practices the  Gynec Laparoscopic Surgeon for Minimal Invasive Fertility Enhancing Surgeries Like Laparoscopy and Hysteroscopy. It is a rare combination that both surgery and IVF is done by the same doctor, and hence this has contributed to not only the great success rates in her treatment outcomes,  but also develops great trust and confidence in the hearts of her patients since they receive a rare privilege of an excellent continuity of care with the same doctor, which is so scarce to get in this day and age.

Career

Beginning her career in India, Dr. Chawla worked with the IVF team at the famous Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai, started the IVF department at the Fortis Memorial Research Institute at Gurgaon and Delhi.

She faced gender bias and major challenging situations in her journey ,  but came out shining even brighter, every time, for she believes that “ Life is never fair, but is only what you make out of it “.

She is a true believer of hard work and is a lady of faith.

She came to the UK alone when her practice in Delhi Punjab and Haryana was already soaring and added UK to her plot which is a risk for any practitioner, but she took the risk, because she had a clear vision.
