Online Ayurvedic consultation from Patiala, with Dr. D.K. Sharma in Ludhiana
Can I consult Dr. Sharma from Patiala without travelling?
Yes. You can consult Dr. D.K. Sharma (BAMS) by video from Patiala, for yourself or for a parent. You see the same doctor and pay the same ₹500 as at a clinic visit, and the clinic checks suitability before you pay; what video cannot replace is listed below. There is no clinic in Patiala. Bharat Clinic is only in Ludhiana and has no branches anywhere else, so being seen in person means travelling to Ludhiana, which can be hard for an older parent with joint pain or low energy.
Urgent signs: a fall with a suspected fracture, sudden weakness on one side, chest pain or breathlessness need emergency care in person today, not a video call.
For a private concern such as sexual health, video lets you begin one-to-one; see men's health.
When a family member joins the call. The person booking may be a son or daughter arranging a consultation for a parent. If the patient is happy for a family member to be there, they can hold the phone steady, help find reports and remember what was said. If they are in another city, it may be possible for them to join the same call.
A few rules make it go better:
- The patient speaks first, in their own words, even if it takes longer.
- The helper fills gaps afterwards: dates, reports and names of medicines.
- If the patient wants part of the conversation alone with the doctor, the helper steps out. Consent and privacy belong to the patient.
Video works well for
- The history of a long-standing concern, such as knee or back pain, stiffness, tiredness or poor appetite.
- Going through reports and the medicines already taken.
- Deciding whether an examination, a test or a visit is needed.
Video cannot replace
- A physical examination of a joint or the back. You are told if one is needed, and a visit to Ludhiana is suggested.
- Urgent care. The urgent signs above need emergency care in person now, not a video call.
Five steps from request to consultation
- Request. Send your name, a WhatsApp number and a preferred time, and choose video. Your concern is optional.
- Suitability check. The clinic replies to confirm that your concern is one it should handle, and offers a time.
- Pay ₹500. Only after step 2.
- Confirmation. The time and how to join the call.
- Consultation. One-to-one with Dr. Sharma by video.
If you are booking for a parent, say so in the request and give the patient's name.
Setting up the call for a parent.
- Prop the phone at a steady height, in good light, and check the sound before the call.
- Keep their reports and medicine strips within reach.
- Write down the advice during the call, so the plan is easy to follow at home afterwards.
Language and timing
The patient should speak in whichever language is easiest for them.
Prescriptions and how medicine reaches you
No medicine is suggested before the patient is assessed. If Dr. Sharma advises one, the clinic explains the next step directly, including whether it can be sent to an address. For older patients, list every medicine they already take, including blood pressure and sugar tablets.
What can be advised after a video consultation is limited by India's telemedicine rules for Ayurveda practitioners. Dr. Sharma will say if something needs a visit first.
₹500, and what it covers

Questions from Patiala
Who is the best sexologist or Ayurvedic doctor in Patiala?
Bharat Clinic has no clinic and no doctor in Patiala, so this page cannot name a local sexologist, piles doctor or Ayurvedic doctor, and it does not rank other doctors or call any one of them the best.
Full answer
Whatever doctor you choose, look for a named doctor whose qualification you can check, a fee stated before you book and an honest referral when you need one. You can speak to Dr. D.K. Sharma by video on those terms. Sexual-health concerns can start by video, privately. See men's health and who you will see for sexual-health concerns. For piles, choosing a piles doctor sets out what to look for in any doctor, and piles and anorectal concerns explains the common problems. If an examination is needed, you are told whether to visit Ludhiana or see a doctor near you.
Can I book a consultation for my mother or father?
Yes, you can book for a parent: say who the patient is and give their name.
Full answer
Whether you can sit in on the call is for the clinic to confirm, and the patient's own account matters most either way.
My father is not comfortable with phones. Will video still work?
Usually, yes, if someone holds the phone and sets it up. All he needs to do is talk.
Full answer
If video is not workable, tell the clinic and ask what else is possible.
Is medicine delivered to Patiala?
Delivery to Patiala is not confirmed. The clinic tells you what is possible before you decide on any medicine.
