Dr. Akerkar's Mumbai Arthritis Clinic & Research Centre, Bhandup West

This was on August 2017. I started joint pain and neck pain. I was scared and was not knowing what to do . I went to a orthopedic doctor. He gave some medicine. That medicine gave me more problem and I got admitted in Fortis hospitals and followed by a surgery. After discharged from hospital I was not able to walk. On searching internet I got the name of Dr. S.M.Akerkar of Mumbai Arthritis clinic at Bhandup. In the first time I went to the clinic without appointment and I was told Dr. Will consult only with appointment . Because of body pain I requested them and allowed me to meet the as last patient. The same day he started treatment and confirmed the arthritis. Till then I am under medication. Now I am almost cured.. Some medicine stopped. Now I have no problem for walking and doing my work. I am grateful to Dr. AKERKAR.

The clinic is functioning very systematically. Very neat and clean. The staff always kind and helpful.

Thank you Dr.Akerkar and staff of Mumbai Arthritis clinic.

hello everyone .

actually im only 35yr old mother of 3 kid i was vry upset with my hlth issue i was undergoing for last 2 yrs i was taking treatment frm other doctor still i was nt stable to do any work .. i heard abt dr. akerkar i was searching in net abt my disease n for a good dr i read abt him i took his appointment he explained me abt my pain n why i was facing pain..

he changed my tablets n the vry nxt day i found diffrence in me this might sound hard but it is true i was nt able to get up frm by bed in this young age bcoz of swelling n pain in my fingers n body stiffness i was so happy and prayed to god tht thnk u for giving us such a wonderful dr. i also tld my mom to go n chk her knee as even she has the problem hope she ll also get the appointment n get well soon......

thnk u so much dr. akerkar and the staff also bcoz it takes time to have n appointment but seeing me in pain they hlped me to meet the dr.. and got a big relief frm my pain.... if we are happy we ll talkmore abt things hpnd hope u guys understand how much satisfaction i got... god bless him n his fmly also

This was my 1st appointment with Dr Akerkar.I had been thinking of consulting him for the last 2 years as I had read lot of good reviews about him but only the distance part was stopping me but I am glad I did that finally..He definitely seems to be a very good Doctor who cares about the patients..He listens well and gives adequate time to each.He explained the possible causes of the sysmptoms .I have visited several doctors for my condition. I am hoping my search ends here .I can't comment about the treatment yet but certainly will write about it later.Dr has suggested medication plus the lifestyle changes as he wants to treat the condition as a whole and not just the symptoms which is what I really liked.Thank you Doctor

I raised concern over waiting time in clinic after last visit and I seen improvement in yesterday visit. I really want to thanks and appriciate dr. Akerkar for looking in to this issue.

I think in today digital era online status updates about current waiting time might help patients.

About treatment i will give 5 out of 5. He treating my mother since 2008 for reumatologi arthritis. In August this year my mom was suffered frozen shoulder, swelling joins and other arthritis realted issue and not able to do any daily chores. In just 4 months she is able to do each and every daily work at age of 71 after treatment from dr. Akerkar.

Thank you very much dr. Shashank Akerkar and his team.
