Dr. Bhabesh Doley

Founder & Chief Pediatrician

Dr. Bhabesh built Bloom around a single idea he has carried for twenty-five years: that a child's experience of medicine shapes their relationship with health for life. He still sees patients every single day, still keeps his consultations unhurried, and still reviews every parent feedback form himself. His clinical interests span preventive pediatrics, recurrent infections and the anxious-first-time-parent consultation he is quietly famous for.

Dr. Rashmita Bora

Senior Neonatologist

Dr. Rashmita works at the quietest, most consequential hours of Bloom — the Level III NICU, where lives begin earlier and smaller than planned. She has walked more than 3,000 premature babies to their discharge days, and believes the parents standing at the incubator are part of the medical team, not visitors. Her focus areas are extreme prematurity, neonatal neuro-protection and kangaroo-mother care.

Pediatric Neurology

Dr. Banani Thakuria

Pediatric Neurologist

Childhood epilepsy, developmental delay, tics, headaches — the nervous system of a child is a moving target, and Dr. Banani has spent sixteen years learning to read it. Families know her for two things: explaining scans and EEGs until the fear drains out of the room, and building long-term care plans that grow with the child. She leads Bloom's neuro-developmental clinic and its rehabilitation program.

Why Bloom

A hospital that feels less like a hospital, by intention.

We built Bloom on a simple conviction — children heal better in places designed for them. So we lowered the counters, softened the light, trained every hand to be gentle, and placed some of the country's finest pediatric minds inside it.

01

Gentle by design

Painless-first protocols, quiet recovery rooms, and clinicians trained to earn a child's trust before examining it.

02

Family-first medicine

Parents are partners here. Open NICU visiting hours, shared decision-making, and no consultation that feels rushed.

03

Science, rigorously applied

Evidence-based protocols, international safety standards, and a multidisciplinary board reviewing every complex case.

What we care for

Every specialty a childhood could need.

Fourteen super-specialty teams, one shared record, and a weekly board where your child's case is discussed by all of them together.

Neonatology & Level III NICU

Round-the-clock care for our smallest patients — premature and critically ill newborns — with open family visiting and lactation support.

Pediatric Cardiology

From murmurs to complex congenital heart disease — diagnostics, catheter interventions and surgical planning under one roof.

Pediatric Neurology

Comprehensive care for epilepsy, developmental delay, neuromuscular disorders and headaches — with dedicated neuro-rehabilitation.

Growth & Nutrition

Structured clinics for growth faltering, obesity, adolescent nutrition and eating difficulties — tracked milestone by milestone.

Adolescent Medicine

A confidential, judgement-free space for the teenage years — puberty, mental wellness, sports fitness and lifestyle health.

Emergency & Critical Care

A dedicated pediatric emergency with 24×7 consultant presence, in-house PICU and an ambulance network that never sleeps.

Parent stories

Words we keep close.

Unedited, from our patient families. The reason this wing exists.

“

From the moment we walked in, it never felt like a hospital. Our daughter asked when she could go back. I never thought I'd say that about a check-up.

Dr. Mehta drew our son's heart on paper and explained everything until we stopped being afraid. The surgery plan felt like a decision we made together.

Farah SheikhMother of Zayan, 6
“

Our daughter spent six weeks in the NICU. The nurses knew her name, her habits, her favourite lullaby. She is home, and she is perfect.
