This review is for Dr. M. S. Bharatwal.
My mother was suffering from a persistent cough caused by Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) after COVID-19. We consulted several doctors and tried different treatments, but her condition did not improve significantly.
We came across Dr. M. S. Bharatwal through Google reviews and decided to consult him. During our first visit, he carefully reviewed her complete medical history and explained that she was taking too many medications.
After following his treatment plan for 1–2 months, my mother’s health improved drastically. Along with prescribing the right medicines, Dr. Bharatwal also provided valuable lifestyle and breathing-related guidance. He advised the use of medical oxygen at night and during exercise, which greatly helped her recovery.
We attended all follow-up appointments regularly—initially every month and now every three months. We never missed an appointment.
Today, my mother’s health has improved significantly, and she no longer requires external oxygen support. We are extremely grateful to Dr. M. S. Bharatwal for his expertise, care, and guidance. We highly recommend him to anyone seeking treatment for respiratory and lung-related conditions.
Visited For Asthma
The doctor listened to me carefully and understood my problem well. The consultation was thorough and the waiting time was reasonable, so I did not feel my time was wasted. However, I would not recommend Dr. Barthwal overall because I did not find the hospital or clinic environment satisfactory.
Visited For Lung Infection (Pneumonia)
The doctor was just awesome and explained everything clearly. I would rate the doctor five out of five and have recommended him many times. However, the hospital administration, especially the CGHS counter, *** **** **** *** needs improvement.
The doctor was not very clear during the consultation, and this was my first experience with him. I felt the process was confusing, especially regarding the follow-up with a junior doctor and the consultation fees. Overall, I did not feel genuinely cared for during the visit.
My experience with the doctor was okay. The doctor performed a physical examination and the disease is under control. However, I was a bit unhappy about the charges being higher than expected.
Visited For Asthma
Dr. M S Barthwal took his time to understand my mother's asthma and chest infection. He listened carefully, explained everything clearly, and created a helpful treatment plan.
Visited For Respiratory Medicine
The doctor explained everything clearly during my visit, and overall I had a decent experience. However, I faced some trouble due to confusion caused by the staff regarding how to perform the X-ray, which lowered my overall rating to 3.5 out of 5.
The doctor did not explain everything properly during my visit.
Visited For Pneumonia Treatment

My brother was infected by Covid 19 and was hospitalised for more than a month on ventilator at my native place due to Post Covid Pneumonia . My family and I were contemplating over moving my brother to Pune for better treatment, but we were unsure if that's the right decision. We were fortunate enough to find Dr Barthwal.We consulted Dr Barthwal over a video call. Dr Barthwal took ample time over the call to understand the details about my brother and he listed out all the positive as well negative points about my brother's health. He categorically disapproved of moving my brother to Pune as the medications that were ongoing were the best that any doctor could give. His precise words were "There is nothing to gain by moving to Pune, but there is something to lose". Eventually we did not move my brother and he got discharged on 18th June minimum still oxygen requirement of 2 ltrs. I took a second appointment with Dr Barthwal for a consultation after discharge. Dr Barthwal was again patient in understanding the current health condition, medications etc. He immediately asked us to stop most of the medicines and completely rely on Pulmonary Rehab exercises.My brother is consistently working on the Pulmonary Rehab exercises and he has definitely shown huge improvements. Dr Barthwal is one of the very experienced and confident doctor that I have come across in my life. He explains the health condition and complications in a very straightforward and transparent manner. Thank you Sir!.
