We had an excellent experience with Dr. Darshan Singh Bhakuni. My mother was suffering from progressively increasing weakness in the arms and legs for over a year. She could not easily lift light weights in her arms, or bend properly or get up from a seated position. She had trouble walking in a straight line, and often started swaying left or right when walking. She was also losing weight steadily, and lost about 8 kg in 1 year, without any change in diet and without any reduction in appetite. After a few months, she also started having trouble swallowing.
We described these issues to many physicians but none could identify the cause. She underwent many tests, ultrasounds, endoscopy, blood tests, cancer marker tests, but nothing was conclusive. Frequent advice included going for physiotherapy, yoga, eating more etc. After over a year, we could only see that something is wrong, but could not identify what it was.
On the consultation of a relative who is also a doctor, we performed some tests, and she suggested that we visit a rheumatologist. We went to Dr. Darshan Singh Bhakuni at Max Noida, and he performed some physical inspection to gauge the strenght in each muscle group. He was able to accurately identify the issue, and suggested some confirmatory tests. These tests confirmed his diagnosis of inflammatory polymyositis. His treatment is steadily improving my mother's condition.
We felt a great relief at finally being able to identify the underlying disease, as well as being on the right course of treatment. Dr. Bhakuni is a very patient listener who heard our case history in details. He also explains everything very well, including the ramping-up and ramping-down of the medicines my mother has to take. Visiting him was a blessing, and gave us both relief in the disease physically, *** **** ***** ** **** **** ** *** ** **** ******

I had been suffering from joint pain for almost a year and had consulted many doctors. Some said it was gout, while others suspected tibialis posterior tenosynovitis. Despite visiting several doctors, I was not getting a clear diagnosis or relief.
When I visited Dr. Darshan Singh , he simply looked at my joints and immediately asked if I had psoriasis. I hadn’t even told him about it yet. I was surprised because I have been suffering from psoriasis for the last 15–16 years. Based on that, he quickly recognized that I was dealing with psoriatic arthritis.

I am truly grateful for his expertise and highly recommend him to anyone dealing with joint pain or autoimmune condi

We have been visiting Dr. Bhakuni for the last five years, and I truly feel it has been a blessing for our family. Before meeting him, my mother was in constant pain due to arthritis. Her legs and fingers hurt so badly that even daily tasks became difficult for her. Watching her suffer every day with pain I used to feel really bad for her. After starting treatment with Dr. Bhakuni her condition improved, and today she is living a normal, happy, and pain-free life. She can manage her daily routine independently, even she can cook the tasty food she earlier used to make for us. We travel all the way from Dwarka to Vaishali just to consult him, and every journey feels completely worth it. Dr. Bhakuni is not just a brilliant doctor, but a genuinely kind and compassionate human being.
We will always be grateful to Dr. Bhakuni for giving my mother a better life.

To the Doctor Who Gave Me My Life Back,
There are moments in life when words fall short — and this is one of them. I was battling something that felt bigger than me — Ankylosing Spondylitis had taken control of my body, my strength, and even my hope.
I had visited many doctors before, but nothing worked. My condition kept worsening — the pain was unbearable, my lower body was almost non-functional, and I needed four people just to help me stand. It wasn’t just I who was suffering — my parents were silently breaking too. Their worry, their helplessness, their sleepless nights… it was all too heavy for our family to bear.
And then, you stepped in — like a light in complete darkness.
You didn’t just treat me — you understood me. Where others gave up, you stayed. You gave my parents the one thing they had lost — hope. You gave me more than medicine; you gave me the strength to believe I could walk again, live again, and smile again.
Today, when I stand on my own feet, when I move without pain, and when I see the relief in my parents' eyes — I remember that it was all possible because of you.
You didn’t just save a patient — you saved a family from pain.
From the bottom of our hearts — thank you. For your brilliance, your compassion, and the humanity behind your healing hands.
With deepest gratitude,
Abhishek Sarkar
