Dr. Shakti Anjali Naidoo

I had a deeply distressing and horrible experience with Dr. Shakti Naidoo at the hospital, and I highly do not recommend her to anyone. Her manner was incredibly aggressive. While she didn't say it out loud, her actions made it entirely clear that she was going to take over my care and handle things entirely her way, with a complete disregard for my consent. She completely locked onto a single diagnosis without considering the larger clinical picture, showing zero empathy or basic human compassion. In addition to ignoring the full medical situation, she completely violated my physical boundaries during labor. I was yelling for them to stop, but Dr. Naidoo directed the nurses and staff to hold me down anyway. My legs were forced wide open, pushed, and pulled at all angles into high stirrups against my explicit wishes. Her aggressive physical actions were deeply triggering, causing immense pain and distress during a highly vulnerable moment, and I was left entirely numb afterwards. Her… flagrant disregard for both my health factors and my body stripped me of my dignity and left me with lasting trauma that I will remember forever. Please protect yourself and avoid this provider at all costs.
