I have been a patient of Dr Bhartiya for over three years now. I am now 85 and have been getting regular treatment from her for my Glaucoma since I returned to India from the Philippines in 2022.
In the Philippines I was under treatment for glaucoma for some 22 years and feel that I am adequately qualified to compare the treatment given by my ophthalmologists in the Philippines, in India (including at the Shroff Eye Centre and the Center for Sight in Gurgaon) and by Dr Bhartiya, who was working in Fortis Gurgaon when I first met her in December 2022.
The attention that Dr Bhartiya paid to my eye problems has been far superior to the attention that I got from my other doctors in the Philippines and in India. In her dealings with me she has shown a lot of patience and compassion in listening to my eye problems. She has also willingly provided me, after my appointments, the necessary follow up advice regarding my eye problems whenever that was needed.
During all these years I have also observed her patience and excellent crowd management skills when working under pressure. Even when there were many patients, I am particularly pleased to note that there was never any delay of more than 30 minutes in seeing me from my appointment time. Her management skills are well depicted in her ably managing not only the ophthalmology department but also other areas of her work such as for International Institute of Neuro and Spine and the Community Outreach and Wellness programs.
I am thus highly satisfied with the professional services that I am receiving from Dr Bhartiya and wish her a very successful career ahead.
Visited For Diabetic Retinopathy

A Life-Saving Turning Point in My Postpartum JourneyAs a Type 1 diabetic diagnosed at age ten, I have lived on insulin for over twenty years. Yet, nothing quite prepared me for the health challenges of the postpartum period. A few months after giving birth, I noticed a dark spot in my left eye and visited Dr Shibal. That visit changed everything.Upon examination, Dr Shibal discovered I had proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Instead of leaving us to navigate this terrifying diagnosis alone, she immediately sprang into action. She explained the causes and effects of the disease with complete clarity and fast-tracked me to a nearby eye care center for urgent PRP laser treatment.What sets Dr Shibal apart is her extraordinary, kind-hearted nature. Even though she is not the primary doctor performing the laser treatments, she has kept herself entirely in the loop. She even shared her personal phone number with me, providing a vital lifeline for those moments when panic strikes. She treats my eyes—and my peace of mind—with the utmost care and genuine concern.This diagnosis also brought a hard-hitting realization. Throughout my entire pregnancy and the decades before it, I consulted multiple gynecologists and endocrinologists. Not a single one ever mentioned getting my eyes checked, let alone undergoing a dilated eye examination. It was a shocking surprise to learn this disease had been progressing for years without a single specialist flagging it.I feel incredibly blessed that God guided us to Dr Shibal just in time. Thanks to her timely intervention and ongoing care, my vision is being saved.

We visited for my daughter’s regular eye examination, and I was so impressed with the care we received.

A happy, stress-free experience in a clean and child-friendly clinic. We will definitely be coming back for her annual eye checks

Dr. Shibal Bhartiya was one of the kindest doctors I've seen. My eyes were looking quite red and were itching a lot. My AI assistant told me it was dry eyes and suggested Dr. Shibal as the appropriate doctor to go to in my area. I did not have to wait at all, and it was a very pleasant experience. Not only the doctor but the accompanying staff were also experienced and extremely friendly and caring. Overall, I had a good experience and would recommend it to everyone else especially for those of us who spend long hours in the computer

It’s been about four years since I went through it, and I’ve had multiple complications with my eyes, including severe dry eye syndrome, meibomian gland dysfunction, lid keratinization, and significant corneal damage.
Since last November, as advised by Dr. Shibal, I started using autologous serum eye drops. It’s been around five to six months now, and I’ve seen meaningful improvement in my healing journey. One eye responded exceptionally well, while the other is improving more gradually—but overall, there has been clear progress.
I’ve noticed a reduction in photophobia, and the corneal healing, especially in one eye, has been quite remarkable. Most importantly, it has made day-to-day life much more comfortable.
Throughout this journey, Dr. Shibal has been incredibly supportive, compassionate, and reassuring. She takes the time to truly understand what you’re going through and makes you feel at ease, which makes a big difference when dealing with something this challenging.
I’m really grateful for this treatment and the care I’ve received, and I hope my experience can help others going through something similar.
My First Visit to the clinic.
It is a pleasure to acknowledge the exceptional professionalism and dedication demonstrated by Dr. Shibal and her team. Despite her young years, she exhibits a level of expertise, clinical judgment, and confidence that far exceeds what one might expect from someone of her age and experience.
**** ***** ************* *** ******* ** *** **** *** ******** ********* *** **** her remarkable empathy and commitment to patient care. She takes the time to listen attentively, explain complex medical issues with clarity and patience, and ensure that patients and their families feel informed, respected, and reassured throughout their treatment journey.

She is like a breath of fresh air in this otherwise rat race and fast track medical community.

She wanted a second opinion and visited Dr. Shibal Bhartiya .After a thorough checkup, she confirmed that she does have cataract, but it’s still in the early stage and not severe enough to require surgery yet. she advised her about new glasses and said her vision is good for now. She is very grateful for her transparent guidance. She prioritizes what’s actually needed for the patient ******* ** ******* *********** *********** Thank you, Dr. Shibal Bhartiya.
