I am very grateful to Dr.M.S Barthwal for treating my allergic rhinitis, which was a nightmare for me. I had gone to another doctor who gave me the wrong diagnosis and treatment. I ended up in the hospital for no reason and wasted a lot of time and money. I was feeling miserable. Then I found Dr. Barthwal on practo and decided to give him a try. He was a lifesaver for me. He listened to my symptoms patiently and examined me thoroughly. He explained my condition in simple terms and gave me the correct treatment. He also gave me some tips on how to prevent future attacks and improve my immunity. He was very polite and friendly throughout the consultation. He answered all my queries and doubts with confidence and clarity. He is very knowledgeable and experienced in his field. I followed his treatment plan for two weeks and I felt a huge difference. My symptoms were gone and I was able to breathe normally. I was so happy and relieved. Dr. Barthwal is the best doctor for allergic rhinitis or any similar related issues. I highly recommend him to everyone who is suffering from this problem. He is a gem of a doctor and a wonderful human being.

Before visiting Dr. M.S.Barthwal I had gone to many different doctors who ended up giving me antibiotics for cold and dry cough related cough syrups, no one was able to diagnose the actual cause behind my constant pesky coughing. Then I found Dr. Barthwal on Practo and visited him in his Undri clinic. He diagnosed me with allergic rhinitis and cough-variant asthma and gave me medicines to keep it in control. He even demonstrated how to use the medication pump and nasal spray properly. He sat me down and educated me regarding the condition and how to cope with it in future in case of flare-up. He even instructed me to maintain an asthma dairy for self-monitoring purpose and to gain insight of the cause behind this allergic reaction. I followed the treatment plan for around a month and my condition improved significantly. I highly recommend the doctor for those who are suffering from lung related ailments. He is a highly experienced doctor and expertise in his field.

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!.

My history with doctor -
2 years ago I took my mom to see this doctor, after that we recommend one of our relative to him, then I went to him, so I have enough experience with this doctor.
On my first interaction I was pretty impressed by his explanation and his skill of communication This was 2 years ago. When i took my mom to see him. That time he charged us 1500 we were fine with it. After all he showed us a picture on his "macbook".
Recently I got into the the problem, i was caughing since past few days and again we went to seen him this time i was the patient.
When I visited him he was talking to someone on a call, about 20 minutes leter he attended me. While he was attending me he received another call again and again he kept me sitting for next 20 minutes. *** *** **** * ***** ****** **** *** **** *** ** **** **** **** ** *** **********
After 20 minutes
he showed me the exact same picture which didn't have anything to do with my conditions and pricribed the medicines which he prescribed to my mother 2 years ago.
I thought he is a expert might know the condition better" so i started with his prescribed medication.
And it didn't helped me at all. * *** ***** ********* so i texted him and told him **** *** ********* ****** *****
And surprisingly he said you have to book another appointment It wasn't even 15th day.

I had searched him over the internet and looking upon his qualification and background. Initially, i was bit nervous too because he was from defence so i had reached before time. But upon first meeting he made me comfortable after talking not like as Dr., but as a curios person to know much about you. I was bit surprised, when he asked the history of not only my disease/problem, but he also enquired about the health/disease history of your siblings, parents and grand parents to analyse the issue. He spends enough time to know your problem and he explains the cause of your disease and how his medicine will work on it. My first session with Dr. was around One and Half hour.
He is not behind wealth, but to cure you and cure the society as well after making you aware about the problems/diseases people are facing these days.
He initially told me the probable cause of my problem and started with some medicine instruments with proper demonstration and after few diagnosis, he confirmed the root cause and started treatment.
On 2nd visit, he asked to bring the medicine instruments and wanted to check how i was using the medicine instrument. This shows his sincerity towards his patients.
I am still under his medication and very much satisfied.
Note: One Suggestion, Before first visit to him please have the history of your disease since you recall/remember/memory along with your siblings/ancestors. Better you make all the points noted somewhere lest you could tell everything to him to analyse your problem well.

Hi all, this feedback is from a son who was tensed and worried about his mother’s health who is suffering from asthma and breathing problem since many years. Actually mom is diabetic and having high BP in addition to the respiration problem, which is making difficult for her to breathe and breath may get shortened while eating, it is impacting her health, started to lose weights. Her breathing problem was so severe that while breathing normally she makes a lot of sound, she was not able to walk, not able to climb stairs…. I live in Pune and after some research I came to know about Dr M S Barathwal. So decided to call mom in Pune n on 6th April mom landed in Pune from Guwahati, as she lives there. I took appointment for 7th April. We visited Barathwal Sir, he got concern about the treatment she was taking in Guwahati. He checked her firmly with minute details about her conditions n past history. He gave medicines for 3 days and asked to revisit as she may require an admission in hospital. After 3 days when revisited she was feeling better and breathing sound was almost gone. He again checked and gave medicines for 2 weeks and now mom has recovered to a great extent. Mom has to go back to Guwahati, so Barathwal Sir gave his colleague's details in Guwahati for future checkup and said he will coordinate with the doctor if required. Honestly we found him like GOD as after showing to so many doctors we were very upset with the results but because of Sir now we have regained our faith on doctors. ******** ** ** *** **** ********* ****** ** **** *********** **** *** **t he is also a nice human being, hope other doctors also get some of his characteristics as this profession requires genuine souls like him to serve the society selflessly.
Pros:
1. Very genuine, no hidden intentions
2. Clear and loud with treatment
3. Impeccable knowledge to identify the core issue with patient
4. Tries to understand the case in deep before going to any conclusions, like checking the patient for more than 40 -45 mins, which shows how serious he is towards his patients
5. Explains the problem that is being faced by the patient very clearly
6. He is also available on phone for any extended support and clarification
Cons:
Very busy but somehow he will take out time for you
Visited For COPD
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for money
I consulted Dr. Barthwal for my father, Dr. Vijay Garg, about 2 years back. My father is 79 years old, a General Physician himself, practicing in Faridabad till about 3 years back and a chronic COPD patient for last 25 years. He was involved with Corporates as an Occupational doctor. Due to the nature of his work, he was exposed to adverse conditions and started suffering from COPD, which deteriorated progressively. The weather conditions in Faridabad worsened his condition to an extent whereby he was frequently hospitalized for chronic treatments with very high and strong dosages. Then my parents shifted to Pune mid 2016 and we consulted Dr. Barthwal for his treatment. The first thing which struck my father and me was his unique approach towards his patients, his spending hours with them learning about their daily routines, medical history, medication, etc. in minutest details. This really makes the patient comfortable who speak their mind and heart out. Dr. Barthwal’s medication approach is also exemplary wherein he reduces the dosages over a period of time keeping the bare minimum required and detests the use of steroids. He believes in calling a spade a spade and strongly disapproves of the prevailing trade practices. My father, who could not walk 10 steps about 2 years ago, is now a much-changed man, at peace with himself and his medical condition and reliving his life to the fullest. He has found a friend in Dr. Barthwal and I am immensely obliged and grateful to him and wish him many successes in his professional as well as personal life.
Visited For Bronchial Asthma Treatment
Dr. Barthwal is a gem of a find, a true gentleman and a multifaceted person.
The first facet I observed when I visited him in his undri clinic. He was very kind. He sat me down, made me comfortable, and spent a long time understanding my condition. He did a thorough physical examination, and spent a long time educating me about the peculiarities of this condition and how to cope with it.
The second facet I observed when I went to meet him at the DYPU clinic. I learnt that he is the HOD there. His beautiful office is lined with awards and trophies, each one earned because of his deep research into this topic and the contribution he has made for its applications.
The last and final facet I saw when I saw him interact with the doctors that he mentors. He treated them with kindness and respect that only a truly genuine human being can bring out in times of absolute power.
Needless to say, I feel much better now and hope to keep this in control with the good doctor’s help.

I was suffering from lot of cough and breathlessness and was undergoing treatment for Allergic bronchitis, however I wasn't feeling better. In search of better treatment for me, my husband came across Dr. Barthwal's bio, experience and testimonials on Practo. We immediately contacted him and he was kind enough to see me immediately at his home clinic. Based on his experience, he concluded that I am actually suffering from Asthma and was infact never treated for the same. He took my entire history and spent an hour understanding in detail every aspect of similar past episodes. He immediately gave me medicine dose there itself as I wasn't able to talk or breathe. I was then given proper explanation of how the quality of my life can be improved using right medicines - inhalers and advised avoidance of allergy triggers.
He provided all educational material and also explained usage of inhalers followed up by a video call to check if I ma using them correctly or not.
Within a week my health improved and within 2 weeks I was able to get back to my routine walk of 10K steps daily.
I am grateful to Dr. Barthwal for providing me effective treatment at the right time and ensuring I am back to my active life!
May God bless him with all the success & happiness!
Thank you so much Sir!
