Monday to Saturday: 11:00AM – 6:00PM
Dr. Shinde's Ayurvedic Cancer Care Clinic is located at 69, Koyala Bakhal, Behind Gurudwara, Yashwant Road, Indore-452001, Madhya Pradesh. We are open Monday through Saturday, 11AM to 6PM. The clinic is accessible by auto-rickshaw, taxi or private vehicle from anywhere in Indore, and we recommend calling ahead before your first visit so our team can allocate adequate time for a thorough initial consultation rather than fitting you into a rushed walk-in slot.
For the most productive first consultation, please bring your complete diagnosis report (biopsy or pathology results), any recent imaging summaries (CT, MRI, PET or ultrasound reports), your current treatment plan from your oncologist if you have one, a list of all current medications and supplements, and any specific questions or concerns you'd like to discuss. If you've already begun chemotherapy or radiation, bringing your treatment schedule helps us time any supportive recommendations appropriately around your cycles.
For patients unable to visit Indore in person — whether due to distance, treatment-related fatigue, or simple convenience — we offer the exact same quality of consultation via video call or phone. Simply WhatsApp your medical reports and a brief description of your situation to +91-8889188821, and our team will respond within 24 to 48 hours to schedule your free consultation at a mutually convenient time.

Clinic Address: 69, Koyala Bakhal, Behind Gurudwara, Yashwant Road, Indore-452001, Madhya Pradesh, India
Hours: Monday–Saturday, 11AM–6PM IST
For International Patients: We accommodate various time zones for video consultations — mention your country and preferred time when you first contact us, and we'll find a slot that works.
After you send your initial message or call, our team typically responds within 24 to 48 hours with available consultation slots. During your free first consultation, Dr. Shinde's team reviews your medical history, discusses your current symptoms and concerns, and — if appropriate — outlines a personalised integrative care plan. There is no obligation to proceed beyond this first conversation, and we encourage patients to ask any questions, however basic, about how integrative Ayurvedic support works alongside their existing oncology treatment.
If you are already a patient and need to reach us for a follow-up question, medication refill, or to report a change in your symptoms, please use the same WhatsApp number (+91-8889188821) for the fastest response. Our team maintains records of your treatment history, so simply mention your name and approximate date of your last consultation to help us locate your file quickly.
While we accommodate walk-ins when possible, we strongly recommend calling or WhatsApping ahead so our team can ensure adequate consultation time is available and avoid you waiting unnecessarily.
Yes, parking is available near our clinic location on Yashwant Road. Auto-rickshaws and taxis are also readily available throughout the area.
WhatsApp is our primary and fastest communication channel given the convenience of sharing photographs of medical reports directly. If you prefer email, please mention this when you first reach out and we'll accommodate accordingly.
Our clinic is not equipped for medical emergencies — please contact emergency services or your nearest hospital directly for any urgent medical situation. Our contact line is for consultation scheduling and existing patient queries during clinic hours.
If you have a preference for consulting with a specific member of our clinical team — whether Akhilesh Shinde, Dr. Amrita Shinde, or Dr. Mayank Shinde — please mention this preference when you first contact us, and we'll do our best to accommodate based on availability and the clinical relevance of their specific expertise to your situation.
While our primary communication with patients happens directly through consultation and WhatsApp follow-up, our website's blog and news sections provide ongoing educational content and clinic updates for anyone wanting to stay informed about our work and broader topics in integrative cancer care.
Our clinic is located on Yashwant Road, behind Gurudwara, in the Koyala Bakhal area of Indore. From Indore Railway Station, the clinic is approximately a 15-20 minute auto-rickshaw or taxi ride. From Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar Airport, expect approximately 25-30 minutes depending on traffic. Most local auto-rickshaw and taxi drivers are familiar with the Yashwant Road and Koyala Bakhal area, and we're happy to provide more specific directions when you contact us to schedule your visit.
If you have mobility considerations or specific accessibility needs for your visit, please mention this when scheduling so our team can make appropriate accommodations. For patients who find travel difficult due to their current health status or treatment side effects, we strongly encourage considering our teleconsultation option instead, which provides identical consultation quality without the physical demands of travel.
Upon arrival, you'll be welcomed by our clinic staff and asked to briefly wait while your consultation slot is prepared, typically a short wait given our appointment-based scheduling. Your consultation with Dr. Shinde's team typically lasts 30-45 minutes for a thorough first visit, during which your medical history, current symptoms, and overall situation are discussed in depth. Following consultation, if a formulation is prepared, you'll either receive it directly during your visit or be informed of when it will be ready for collection or courier delivery.
Consultations are conducted in Hindi and English, with our team comfortable switching between languages as needed for patient comfort. For international patients or those more comfortable in English throughout, we ensure consultations proceed entirely in English without any communication barriers.
Whether you contact us with a simple question, a request for a full consultation, or uncertainty about whether integrative support is right for your situation, every inquiry receives a genuine, thoughtful response from our team — never a generic auto-reply or sales-focused follow-up. We've maintained this personal approach to patient communication since 1986 and consider it fundamental to how we practise medicine.
When you first contact our clinic, whether by phone, WhatsApp, or in-person visit, our team follows a structured intake process designed to gather the information necessary for a thorough, safe consultation. This begins with basic demographic and contact information, followed by a request for your complete diagnosis documentation — biopsy or pathology reports, imaging summaries, and any staging information your oncology team has provided. We also ask about your current treatment status: whether you're newly diagnosed and treatment-naive, currently undergoing active treatment, recently completed treatment, or in long-term survivorship monitoring, since this significantly shapes the focus of your consultation.
We maintain organised records for every patient, documenting consultation notes, prescribed formulations, and any relevant changes in treatment status over time. This record-keeping serves two purposes: ensuring continuity of care across multiple consultations, particularly important for patients we support over months or years of their cancer journey, and allowing us to track patterns in formulation effectiveness across our broader patient population, informing how we refine our clinical approach over time. Patient records are maintained with strict confidentiality, accessible only to your direct care team within our clinic.
Cancer diagnosis and treatment often involve emotionally difficult conversations — discussing prognosis uncertainty, treatment side effects that affect intimate aspects of life, or end-of-life considerations for advanced disease. Our clinical team approaches these conversations with appropriate sensitivity, never rushing patients through difficult emotional territory, while maintaining honest, clear communication rather than false reassurance that could create unrealistic expectations.
While our primary consultation languages are Hindi and English, our diverse clinical team and patient base occasionally allows for consultation support in other Indian regional languages when staff availability permits. If you have a strong preference for a specific regional language, mention this when first contacting us, and we'll do our best to accommodate or arrange appropriate translation support.
Beyond your direct consultation relationship, we welcome broader feedback about your overall experience with our clinic — what worked well, what could improve, or suggestions for how we might better serve patients in situations similar to yours. This feedback can be shared during consultation, via WhatsApp, or through our contact channels, and genuinely shapes how we continue refining our practice.
We understand that reaching out about a cancer diagnosis often comes with significant anxiety and urgency. While we cannot guarantee instant response given the volume of inquiries we receive, our team prioritises responding to every message within 24 to 48 hours, and we make particular effort to expedite responses for patients facing time-sensitive treatment decisions or scheduling needs.
While we aim to respond to all inquiries within 24-48 hours regardless of timing, messages sent during our clinic hours (Monday-Saturday, 11AM-6PM IST) often receive faster same-day responses given our team's active availability during these hours, compared to messages sent late at night or on Sundays which typically receive responses the following business day.
If you haven't received a response within 48 hours of your initial contact, please don't hesitate to follow up — occasionally messages can be missed amid high inquiry volume, and we'd rather receive a follow-up reminder than have a patient feel unheard during an already stressful time. A simple follow-up message ensures your inquiry receives the attention it deserves.
Beyond the most common questions, patients occasionally raise more nuanced concerns that deserve equally thoughtful answers. Some wonder whether their specific genetic or family cancer history should influence their integrative care approach — and while we're not genetic counsellors, we do consider relevant family history context during consultation, particularly for cancers with known hereditary patterns like certain breast and ovarian cancers. Others ask whether their specific dietary background or cultural food practices need adjustment — we work within each patient's existing food culture rather than imposing unfamiliar dietary frameworks, finding ways to apply Ayurvedic nutritional principles using familiar regional ingredients and cooking methods.
Cancer treatment inevitably involves uncertainty — about prognosis, about how a patient will respond to specific treatments, about what the future holds. We don't pretend to have answers we don't have, and we're comfortable acknowledging uncertainty honestly with patients rather than offering false confidence to ease difficult conversations. We've found that patients generally appreciate this honesty more than they would appreciate comforting but ultimately hollow reassurance that doesn't reflect genuine medical uncertainty.
Contacting Our Clinic represents just one dimension of the comprehensive, integrative supportive care our clinic provides. We encourage you to explore other relevant pages on our website, or simply reach out directly with any questions specific to your situation that this page hasn't fully addressed. Our team remains available via WhatsApp at +91-8889188821 for any follow-up questions, with no obligation beyond an honest, informative conversation about how we might be able to support your specific cancer care journey.
We recognise this page contains more detailed information than many websites provide on similar topics. This is deliberate. A cancer diagnosis brings an overwhelming volume of new information, decisions and uncertainty into a patient's life, and we believe thorough, honest, accessible explanation — rather than brief, superficial content — genuinely serves patients trying to make informed decisions during an exceptionally difficult time. We would rather a patient spend extra minutes reading comprehensive, useful information than leave our website with unanswered questions or an incomplete understanding of what we offer and how we approach cancer care.
Every cancer journey is different, and while this page provides general information relevant to many patients, your specific situation — your cancer type, stage, treatment plan, overall health, and personal circumstances — deserves individualised attention that no website page, however thorough, can fully replace. We encourage you to use this content as a foundation for understanding, then bring your specific questions and circumstances to a free consultation where we can address your situation directly and personally.
Whether you're ready to book a consultation today or simply want to keep this information for future reference as you consider your options, we're here whenever you're ready. Call or WhatsApp +91-8889188821, available Monday through Saturday, 11AM to 6PM IST, with online consultation options available for patients unable to visit our Indore clinic in person. As always, your first consultation comes at no cost — a practice we've maintained since 1986 and will continue maintaining as a core commitment to accessible, honest cancer care support.
Trust between a patient and any healthcare provider — conventional or complementary — forms the foundation of effective care, perhaps nowhere more so than in the emotionally charged context of a cancer diagnosis. We've worked to earn that trust over nearly four decades through consistent actions rather than words alone: transparent communication about what we can and cannot offer, genuine coordination with conventional oncology rather than competing claims, accessible consultation regardless of a patient's financial circumstances, and honest acknowledgment of evidence limitations rather than overstated promises. We hope this consistent approach, reflected throughout this website, gives you confidence in considering whether our integrative supportive care might have a place in your own cancer care journey, or that of someone you love.
