I can't say enough good things about Dr. Mehra. He is truly amazing. He delivered my first baby 4 1/2 years ago when my water broke early at 27 weeks, so I didn't hesitate this time around asking him to be my MFM doctor for my second pregnancy. He is VERY patient and trustworthy. I tend to ask many questions and he always took the time to answer every one. He is one of those doctors that you just know you can trust. Very intelligent and you can tell he cares about his patients. He was also very reassuring when I needed it. He managed to get me to full term for this second pregnancy and I couldn't be more grateful. I would absolutely recommend him without a doubt.

Being referred to Dr. Mehra has been by far one of the biggest blessings to me in my pregnancy with twins. I’m so glad I chose him over traveling to a different state for a minimally invasive procedure. I would not have wanted to be in any body else’s care, but his. His bed side manner, education, knowledge and the dedication that he puts into his career definitely does not go unnoticed. He truly puts his heart and soul into everything he says and does and that I’m just forever thankful for. Words will never be enough, to thank him. Coming from my Husband and I, he deserves more than 5 golden stars.

Dr. Mehra has been a great help to me through out my high risk pregnancy. Very through, empathic and real person whom you can trust to have on your side when you need one.

Dr. Mehra is the best doctor I've ever seen in my life. He saw me through my high-risk mono-di twin pregnancy and delivered our boys over a year ago. He is extremely knowledgable, is one of the most skilled surgeons in the Midwest if (God forbid) you need fetal surgery, and he truly listens to the patient and asks important follow-up questions rather than rushing through the appointment or jumping to most obvious/likely conclusion. He follows up with his patients personally, sometimes calling them at home on the weekend to check in. He is uncommonly kind, in a way that stays with you for years and years. I don't think my husband and I will ever forget him. If you get referred to Dr. Mehra, I know it can be scary to think your baby and you need a higher level of care than your average pregnancy requires, but please know that you are in the most capable and genuinely caring hands possible.

He is by far the best doctor I have ever been cared for by. He went above and beyond to to save my baby. I respect him and would gladly return to his care. Thank you is all I can say to him & that's just not enough!

Unfortunately, my husband & I went through a pretty traumatic experience with our first pregnancy. We only made it through with the support of our families and the excellent care we received from Dr Mehra & his amazing staff. Dr Mehra is not only very competent, professional and knowledgeable but just as important, he’s very kind, personable and compassionate. I always felt comfortable and confident in his care. I highly recommend him and look forward to using his services again in the future.

Dr. Mehra is professional, informative, but open. It is not often you find doctors like him. He helped me through a very difficult pregnancy with no judgement or bias. Whenever I needed to ask him a question he was always on top of things. Lutheran is lucky to have a doctor on staff that cares as much as he does.

He is certainly one of the few providers that I was readily able to connect with. My triplets were very well taken care of by Dr. Mehra and his nurses. His office manager Tish and sonographers made this a very memorable experience.

Dr Mehra was the doctor who wanted to find out why I kept losing my pregnancies. His caring attitude and trust have made a difference in my prenatal care.

Great bedside manner and punctuality!. I had a large fibroid and a small baby complicating my pregnancy. Dr. Mehra was there for my delivery as promised.

This doctor is an amazing and VERY knowledgable doctor. He took care of my twin pregnancy through many many problems and close calls, including pre-term labor, incompetent cervix. So many times I thought I would lose my precious babies, but I believe through this man’s prevention and very thorough exams and appointments he saved my babies from being born too early. After two weeks in the hospital, and an additional 3 day visit, and four months on bed rest, my two girls were born full term. Although he never promised they would make it or even that far, he remained hopeful and fought hard to keep me from giving birth too soon. I would definitely recommend him to everyone.

Very compassionate. My sister really liked him and commented on his bed side manner. He did her hysterectomy which went well. I saw him for my annual and am hoping he'll be around if I need him

Such an amazing doctor to provide holistic care to his patients. I saw him at the end of my pregnancy and with those 2 appointments, I can clearly say he is the best. He is an intelligent and kind human being who is blessed as a doctor. First review in my life and he deserves it.

Dr. Mehra is amazing! I had the pleasure of seeing him during my mono-di twin pregnancy. His extensive knowledge made me feel at ease about this high risk pregnancy. My twins are now 1 year old and are very healthy!

Every review is true. Dr. Mehra is the kindest, most caring doctor I've ever seen. He made a scary and stressful situation very manageable. He always took time to explain everything and make sure I felt ok and had all of my questions answered. I have a perfect, beautiful son thanks to him!

Dr. Mehra is a huge asset to the medical community! He is compassionate and intelligent as well as vey talented in what he does. He got my pregnancy to term after 3 babies born premature and I'm so glad I had the honor of being his patient. Almost want to have a sixth just so he can deliver it. Ha!

Dr. Mehra is truly a great doctor. He's one of a kind! The smartest doc out there. He performed surgery during the 17th week of pregnancy, and I can't thank him enough for saving my twins' lives. My babies are one month old now and they're perfect!

Before I saw Dr. Mehra I had 6 other doctors talk to me about my pregnancy. He was by far the best! I wish I could have seen him the entire time.
