Sanand lies south-west of Ahmedabad and has grown with its industrial estates. Families working there often travel into the city for specialised women's health care. Women from Sanand generally come to me for high-risk pregnancy care, detailed fetal medicine scans or planned keyhole gynecological surgery.
Sanand to Gota: Ring Road or S.G. Highway, About 40–50 Minutes
Drive from Sanand towards Ahmedabad and pick up Sardar Patel Ring Road or S.G. Highway. Then head north to Gota. Athena Avenue is near Eulogia Hotel, behind the Jaguar showroom. The journey is usually about 40–50 minutes by car, depending on which road you take and on traffic.
Gynecologist in Sanand for Routine Visits, Gota for the Specialised Ones
With a 40–50 minute drive each way, it rarely makes sense to come to Gota for every check-up. Your routine visits can often continue with your local doctor in Sanand, while the specialised scans and the key decisions take place with me at Gota.
In practice, you come to me at fixed points. Examples are the NT and anomaly scans, a suspected complication, and planning the timing and mode of delivery. Between those visits, your Sanand doctor does the regular BP, weight and urine checks, and reports travel by WhatsApp. I write down clearly what each of us is doing and when you should come back, so nobody is unsure who is in charge of which part of your care.
Which Pregnancies from Sanand Need the Trip to Gota
Most healthy pregnancies do not need a high-risk opinion. Women from Sanand are usually advised to see me in these situations:
- Twins
- Diabetes needing medicine or insulin.
- High blood pressure or pre-eclampsia.
- A previous preterm birth or a short cervix, where cervical cerclage may be discussed.
- A low-lying placenta or placenta previa.
- A baby who is measuring small.
- Autoimmune conditions such as APLA.
- A scan finding that needs a detailed look.
In these pregnancies, how often you need to travel depends on how things are going. When matters are stable, visits can be spaced out. When they are not, more frequent checks are worth the drive, and I explain the reason each time.
A Sanand Sonography Centre, Then a Detailed Fetal Scan in Gota
Many women from Sanand have their early scans at a local sonography centre. They come to Gota for the detailed fetal medicine scans, or when a local scan raises a question. Because the journey is long, a little planning makes the day more useful.
Send the earlier report on WhatsApp beforehand, and bring the actual images or CD if you have them. Book the NT and anomaly scans early, since each has a fixed window of weeks. On the day, the scan, the discussion of results and any blood tests are usually done in one sitting. If further testing such as amniocentesis is an option, we talk it through before you leave. The PCPNDT Act forbids sex determination; I do not disclose the baby's sex.
Maternity Hospital in Sanand or Gota? Planning Labour from 40–50 Minutes Away
Where to give birth is a real decision for Sanand families, and I discuss it openly. For a straightforward pregnancy, delivering at a maternity hospital in Sanand, close to home, can be a reasonable choice. For a high-risk pregnancy, we usually plan the delivery at Divine Women's Hospital in Gota, where I can look after you and the newborn is seen by the hospital's neonatologist.
If you are delivering at Gota, allow extra time for the journey in late pregnancy. When there is a medical reason for a planned induction or caesarean, fixing the date also takes the uncertainty out of the drive. When labour starts, call ahead as you set off so the team expects you, and leave earlier than someone who lives nearby would.
Searching for a Gynecologist Hospital in Sanand? Planned Keyhole Surgery at Gota
For planned keyhole surgery, such as laparoscopy for fibroids, ovarian cysts or endometriosis, or a laparoscopic hysterectomy, the procedure takes place at Divine Women's Hospital in Gota. I do not perform open surgery and refer when it is needed.
To cut down the number of trips, the consultation, ultrasound and pre-operative tests can usually be done on the same visit, and the operation date is fixed then. Arrange for someone else to drive you home after discharge. Follow-up after surgery is at Gota; if you notice fever, increasing pain, redness or discharge from the wound before then, call the hospital.

Working with Your Sanand Gynecologist: Common Questions
Do I have to travel from Sanand to Gota to see Dr. Devang Patel?
Yes, I do not consult in Sanand. My OPD is at Divine Women's Hospital, 3rd Floor, Athena Avenue, Gota – Jagatpur, on S.G. Highway, Ahmedabad 382481. From Sanand, drive towards Ahmedabad, join Sardar Patel Ring Road or S.G. Highway, and go north to Gota.
Can my reports from Sanand be sent before the visit?
Yes. WhatsApp your scan and blood reports, and any referral note from your Sanand doctor, to +91 90545 74829. They are usually looked at before you arrive so that, where possible, the scan you need is done on the same day and you avoid a second 40–50 minute journey.
Labour has begun, or there is an emergency, at home in Sanand. What now?
Call +91 90545 74829 before you leave, then travel to Divine Women's Hospital in Gota, where hospital staff provide labour and obstetric emergency care 24 × 7. Allow for the 40–50 minute drive via Sardar Patel Ring Road or S.G. Highway. If you are bleeding heavily or feel faint, go to the nearest hospital without delay.
