~ A Pioneer in Patient-Centered Spine Solutions, Inspiring a Movement in Indian Healthcare
Mumbai, India – In today’s fast-paced medical world, where specialization often comes at the cost of personalization, Dr. Kunal Bhardwaj is bringing back the human touch—powered by cutting-edge science. As the Founder & Director of the Indian Spine Institute & Rehabilitation Centre (ISIRC), he is on a mission to make advanced spine care accessible, non-invasive, and deeply human.
At just 33, Dr. Bhardwaj has earned national recognition for offering a 360° approach to spine health—one that prioritizes early diagnosis, minimal intervention, and long-term wellness over aggressive surgical procedures. For countless patients across India, he is more than a surgeon; he is a guide, an advocate, and a voice of clarity in the complex world of spine disorders.
From Aspiration to Action: The Journey of a Purpose-Driven Surgeon
Dr. Bhardwaj’s story begins in a modest household, raised by parents who instilled in him the values of service and hard work. “My success belongs to my parents and my wife—they kept me grounded through every step,” he often says.
His academic path reflects his hunger to do more than just “practice” medicine:
-
MBBS from B.J. Medical College & Sassoon General Hospital, Pune

He credits his mentors Dr. Ashok Rathod and Dr. Vikas Gupte for not just shaping his skills, but for helping him understand the ethical foundation behind every surgical decision.

Launched under Dr. Bhardwaj’s vision, the Indian Spine Institute & Rehabilitation Centre (ISIRC) is not your average clinic. It’s a specialized ecosystem where spine problems are addressed from the root—without rushing to surgery.

ISIRC offers:
-
Individualized rehabilitation programs

Drug-free pain management

High-tech diagnostics

Robotic and minimally invasive surgery when absolutely needed

He is also mentoring young orthopedic surgeons in ethical, evidence-based practices, ensuring the next generation of spine specialists carry forward a legacy of care—not just cure.
A Surgeon, A Visionary, A Healer
