Dr. S.M.Akerkar

I am patient of Ankylosing Spondylitis and currently getting treated by Dr. Akerkar. I came to know about Dr. Akerkar through one of my friends and then I decided to consult him. Dr. Akerkar is very friendly in nature. He provided me all sorts of help for expensive biologic treatment. After his medication and treatment I recovered to such an extent that when anyone comes to know about my decease they get extremely surprised. They wonder, how can a person looking so healthy can be patient of Ankylosing Spondylitis. Now, I am enjoying almost pain free life. I have referred Dr. Akerkar to so many of my friends and relatives and everybody have similar experience about him as a doctor and as a person. It is not easy to get his appointment, obviously due to huge number of patients but it is worth waiting for. After all it shows how many patients have faith in him and ready to wait for his consultation. Needless to say, as a Rheumatologist* ** ** * ****** ** **** ****** ** ** *** ** *** **** *************** ** *** ******** * ***** ****** *** a great human being! Thank you Dr. Shashank!

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.

Visited For Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment

Three and a half years ago, Rheumatoid Arthritis made my wife petrified and desperate. My son searched for one of the best rheumatologists in Mumbai on Google and found Dr. Shashank Akerkar. Not only we were surprised by the improvements that started from the 3rd appointment, but we were also surprised to see that the doctor knew her pain level better than her (despite her exaggeration about the pain, even though it wasn’t like the others). Based on proper investigation, he started treatment immediately. His medication and advice benefited her and her normal life resumed and her health is now normal.

Dr. Akerkar is very punctual. The way he listens to the patient's problem is really appreciated. He advises the patients to perform only the necessary tests. His clinic is always crowded due to his excellent treatment.

He is an overall pleasant personality with ********* ********* *** commitment.

We think he is a great Rheumatologist and helps to overcome the disorder as soon as possible. We were so glad that we went to the right doctor and we would definitely recommend him to anyone with similar problems.

Thank you so much Dr. Shashank Akerkar.
