Dr. Vikram M. Bhardwaj

I have been thinking for long to share my experience with Dr. Vikram, but as most of the human beings do, I kept on procrastinating to write about the best doctor experience I have been through ever.

Let me give a background.

I since a last few years I was having pain on the left side of the throat, over the period of time I saw a few doctors in Gurgaon who scared the hell out me with hints of Eagle Syndrome, chances of cancer and surgery etc. they made me go through numerous CT scans, Endoscopy, and what not.... and I was following their advice to the core however the pain never completely went away … though it used to subside and for few months and then again it used to come back.

This pain used to subside a bit and then flare up making it difficult for me to even swallow. In the mean while I shifted to Noida and I planned to see just another ENT.

Fortunately I went to JP hospital and got an appointment with Dr. Vikram Bhardwaj.

Now let me explain my thoughts and observations of Dr Vikram Bhardwaj before he actually started his assessment.

A very young doctor somewhat of my age group who doesn’t seem to be as experienced as my previous ENT doctors with grey hair, a very down to earth way of initiating discussions and asking very simple questions. My initial thought was “let’s see this one too and let him tell me to undergo multiple tests”.

But as and when he started to analyze the area where I had the pain and observing the throat with all his gadgets, Dr. Vikram was very encouraging and I do not remember a single sentence which he said could have scared me. He spent some good 5 – 10 minutes to do the throat assessment and to avoid any other possibilities he said though I am confident that there is nothing serious, let me still see with a camera in the throat. He then double checked it with some instrument with lights and camera and I was able to see him being satisfied and reassured that there is nothing serious. Think from a patients point of view when your doctor smiles saying don’t worry I am 90% sure nothing serious, have these medicines and the rest 10% doubt will go away when these medicines will bring the pain and swelling down.

He took my number and shot a message to me asking about the pain the very next day, asked me to change few medicines.

After I completed my medicine course though I was free of the pain but I still visited Dr. Vikram to be reassured that there is nothing left. I was just blown away when Dr. Vikram said “Aap phir aa gaey” “I do not want to see you again with this problem” “It is good that we can meet again but not with this issue, this should not come again”**** **** ***** **** **** ****** * **** **** *****

When truth becomes necessarily stranger than fiction….

My encounter with Dr. Vikram Bhardwaj , the renowned ENT Specialist, MS, FHNS Noida, Delhi, Consultant, Jaypee Hospital:

I searched out Dr. Vikram Bhardwaj’s name on the Google as one of the best ENT surgeons in Noida, Delhi. I desperately needed a second opinion about my condition which was diagnosed as a case of unilateral enlargement of the right tonsil by a doctor in my hometown, Berhampore , West Bengal. It was of course a disquieting news for me. The dreaded six letter disease, beginning with’ C’ began to haunt me since then.

On 22June, 2018, I came from Calcutta with my daughter to Delhi, where she lives with her family. On the same day in the evening , luckily I got a confirmation for an appointment with the doctor. Dr. Bhardwaj gave a patient hearing to my problem, had a close study of the CT Scan report I had brought with me and felt the affected area of my mouth. After having examined me thoroughly, he told me that it looked like a case of para pharyngeal tissues . He assured me that the mass was harmless one, because it appeared to be a deposit at the surface level and I did not need to worry. And most importantly, my case had nothing to do with the tonsil. However, he advised me to get an MRI done. The report revealed Dr. Bhardwaj’s diagnosis to be uncannily correct. The doctor stressed that a surgical solution was the only option open before me and I was to go under the scalpel for removal of the tumor.

I was admitted to Jaypee Hospital, Noida, one of the top notch hospitals in Delhi on July 3. On the same day Dr. Vikram Bhardwaj had his ‘ Old Team’ as he fondly calls his most trusted colleagues, pressed into service to perform the whole procedure. The renowned surgical oncologist Dr. Nitin Leekha was specially entrusted to perform the operation. In three hours since the operation, when I was sent to my bed I began to feel an incredible ‘ lightness of being’ and I attended a phone call from home and talked to my wife for five minutes without feeling any discomfort.

So this is my story dear readers and patients. My story began in fear, in a typically Chekhovian character’s grim melancholy that life is open ended, but ended in joy, among smiles again with my near and dear ones, knowing that I was cured completely of the disease which might have been dreadful had I not been treated by Dr. Vikram Bhardwaj at the right time. A doctor blessed with rare insight Dr. Bhardwaj is a gentleman personified. I wish him all the best.

I had allergic symptoms since my childhood. Was suffering from repeated sneezing, watery nose and headaches very frequently. Had tried various kinds of sprays and tablets with only temporary benefit. I visited Dr.Vikram as my neighbour had recommended him. She said he is genuine and not at all commercial in his treatment with patients. I did not completely believe that. But visted him nevertheless to take a chance. I had to wait for 25 minutes outside the OPD for my turn even though I was only 2nd in line. When my turn did come my entire consultation lasted 35 minutes (now I know why I had to wait for this long). He explained about my disease, it's effect on my health and treatment options in detail. Instead of writing a spray and sending me off, just like all my previous doctors did, he talked to me in depth about my problem. In the end, he advised a homemade treatment option which no one had suggested till now. I have been using it for the last 2 weeks and my symptoms have reduced ** **** I am off all sprays and medicines. Thank you doctor! I highly recommend this young and dynamic doctor for all ent problems.

From long time i was facing obstruction in berating due to Nasal bone deviation and i was not able to sleep properly . I called Dr Vikram Sir and he tried helping me over the phone (even when i have never visited him before). I went to his clinic as per schedule appointment and he suggested me to go through Septoplasty . He is very jolly, jovial and friendly personality ; 24/7 approachable, very patience listener *** **** **** ************* * After my surgery within a week i can feel difference , now i feel very relaxed and able to sleep properly . Thanks Vikram Sir , appreciate your help and keep up the good work :)

1. Most Important is the "Non-Commercial" attitude/nature of Dr. Vikram.

This is a rarely found trait nowadays and not seen in majority of doctors.

This is the most admired quality of Dr. Vikram.

2. The way he explained the health issue with detailed showcase of anatomy of nose, the different areas which leads to the problem and almost everything about the particular health issue. (again an exception from other docs where most of them never feel the need to go to this level of detailing.

3. Apart of the medications, Dr. Vikram shared the non medicinal processes , which were very beneficial in my case of allergic rhinitis.

4. To be honest i had met such a "non-commercial" , empathetic, and nice doctor after a long time. He is gem of a person n above all a great human being.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO ALL

I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in Germany where I live but decided to get treated in India.Came to know about Patel hospital and went there for check up.* *** ********** ********* ** *** *** ********* *** confidence of doctors and decided to go ahead with procedure. Underwent total thyrodectomy and discharged on same day. Did TSH,Tg and RAIU scan .Im now free from cancer.Doctors were kind enough to explain the follow up procedure and gave a detailed summary. I feel like a know all about thyroid cancer now.Im Really amazed at medical services in India. International Care at Indian price.Highly recommended.

Dr vikram is a true embodiment of what and how a doctor should be. He is extremely courteous, concerned and always ready to answer all the doubts and queries one might have. In fact, half of the issues seem to have been solved just after a small session of counselling with him. He operated upon my 7 yrs old son to remove his adenoids and after that, my son has shown remarkable recovery health wise. Recently, I visited him twice for some swallowing and throat pain issues of my wife. His diagnosis was perfect and she recovered fully with minimum of medication. I would recommend him to all who have any problems related to his field

Doctor Bhardwaj is really amazing. He listens to you with patience and his diagnosis is accurate and on point. Does not recommend costly medicines or unwarranted tests.

I met him for resolution of my earache and he just prescribed ear drops which did the trick. The other ENT expect I consulted before him suggested costly antibiotics which did not help and those medicines were available only at the pharmacy next to his clinic.

Dr Bhardwaj did not charge me for follow ups also and did a betadin flush of my ear everytime without charging anything.

I will recommend him to all friends and family now onwards. I normally do not write reviews but he deserves a recommendation.

I have visited for my father's hearing issues. Doctor has checked & understood the issues. He suggested to do hearing test & based on that he told it's a very ordinary problem due to age & need to use machine. He prescribed a medicine & clearly mentioned it'll not resolve the issue without machine.

I have also consulted with him regarding my very often & regular cold issues. As per his observation it's allergic issue. Suggested some medicines & need to visit again after completion the course. He also recommend to do some exercise because it'll not resolve by medicine.

I am very happy with the doctor. He has a good confidence. He has a good behavior & friendly attitude. Waiting time is very less, though I was late for 10 minutes.

I am a smoker and went to Dr. Bharadwaj's clinic with a complaint of pain in my throat. He checked and said it is normal and prescribed medication. He also explain the problem and told me that there is nothing to worry about as I was afraid that this should not be a symptom of Cancer.The best part is, he made me signed a self declaration that I will quit smoking. I can't keep up my promise for long but visiting you gives and immense satisfaction.You are amongst very few doctors who hold the flag high.
