Dr. Padmapriya Vivek

Dr. Padmapriya Vivek is one of Chennai's most trusted names in women's health. With over 18 years of clinical experience and more than 18,000 deliveries to her credit — 90% of them normal — she brings a rare combination of technical skill and genuine compassion to every patient she sees. As Director and Chief Gynaecologist at Gleneagles HealthCity Chennai, she leads the Department of Obstetrics, Gynaecology, and Fertility Medicine, managing everything from routine pregnancies to the most complex gynaecological and reproductive cases.

Dr. Padmapriya's training reflects her commitment to excellence at every level. She holds an MBBS and an MD in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and went on to earn a Diploma in Reproductive Medicine from Germany — bringing international perspectives back to her practice in Chennai. Over her career she has built deep expertise in high-risk obstetrics, advanced laparoscopic and vaginal surgery, and a comprehensive fertility programme that includes IVF, ICSI, IMSI, PGD, PGS, and donor services.

Patients and families consistently speak of Dr. Padmapriya's warmth and her ability to explain complex situations in plain, reassuring language. Her dedication has been tested in extraordinary circumstances too — during the 2015 Chennai floods she worked for over 90 continuous hours to safely deliver 17 babies, an act of service that earned recognition from the state government and the admiration of her peers and patients alike.

For international patients travelling to India for obstetric, gynaecological, or fertility care, Dr. Padmapriya offers something rare: world-class clinical outcomes combined with a doctor who truly listens. Her team at Gleneagles HealthCity Chennai is experienced in supporting patients from overseas, and GAF Healthcare is here to help coordinate every step of your journey — from your first enquiry to your follow-up care back home.
