"Dr. Ishan Mishra accurately diagnosed my lupus after years of being misdiagnosed elsewhere. He took time to explain every test and what it meant for my treatment. Truly the best rheumatologist in Lucknow — I feel like I finally have answers.

Priya Sharma

"Travelling to Lucknow was not possible for me, so I consulted Dr. Mishra on weekends at Surya Hospital Varanasi. He is incredibly thorough — spent over 30 minutes understanding my psoriatic arthritis history and got the treatment right from the first visit.

Kavita Singh

★★★★★

"Dr. Ishan Mishra is a rare find in Varanasi — a dedicated rheumatologist who actually listens. My mother's fibromyalgia had been dismissed by several doctors. He took it seriously, adjusted her medications, and she is sleeping and moving better now.
