Bikaner has an estimated 8.7 lakh (871,000) residents in 2025, based on Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate. That makes it number 82 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Small (<1M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.2% a year, it would reach about 1.0 million by 2030, so demand for cardiologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Rajasthan's 1.20 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 1,000 hospital beds in Bikaner, including about 52 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 63 hospitals (about 32 public and 31 private). That is about 833 residents for every bed and around 17 beds per hospital on average. Measured against the WHO's often-quoted benchmark of 3 beds per 1,000 people, the city would need roughly 1,600 more beds, which is one reason private clinics and hospitals carry so much of the load.
The same national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people suggests about 1,100 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Bikaner, supported by around 1,900 nurses and midwives. A cardiologist is one of many specialities within that total. Specialist head-counts are not published city by city, so these figures show scale, not how many cardiologists practise in Bikaner.
On health outcomes, Rajasthan's infant mortality rate is 28 per 1,000 live births (2024), above the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 72.4 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 50% of hospital beds in Rajasthan are private, so most people weigh private cardiologists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 cardiologist for Bikaner, and 4 other cities in Rajasthan have their own cardiologist page below.

How to choose a cardiologist in Bikaner
- Check the qualification: MBBS, MD (Medicine) and DM or DNB (Cardiology).
- Verify registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register (look for a DM or DNB in Cardiology) and note the registration number.
- Ask how long the clinic has treated the condition you have, not just how long the doctor has practised.
- Read recent patient feedback on more than one platform, and be wary of identical glowing reviews.
- Check practical details: location, clinic hours, appointment system, and whether emergency back-up exists if something goes wrong.
A cardiologist (physician) is different from a cardiac surgeon (MCh CTVS). Surgeons operate on the heart; cardiologists diagnose, treat with medicines and perform procedures such as angioplasty.
Healthcare in Bikaner: the bigger picture
No public source counts hospitals city by city, so these figures are estimates: roughly 1,000 beds and 63 hospitals for Bikaner. Rajasthan state averages about 1.2 hospital beds per 1,000 people, close to the India-wide figure of roughly 1.4. The private sector holds about 50% of beds in Rajasthan.

- Wear comfortable clothes if a treadmill test is planned
Frequently asked questions: Cardiologists in Bikaner
How do I find the best cardiologist in Bikaner?
There is no single best doctor for everyone: the right choice depends on your condition, budget and location. A good approach is to shortlist two or three cardiologists, check their qualification and registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register (look for a DM or DNB in Cardiology), and compare facilities and communication. On this page, Dr Jaikishan Suthar (C-53, Sadul Ganj, Bikaner, Bikaner City, Rajasthan 334003) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.
How can I book an appointment with a cardiologist in Bikaner?
Call the clinic or hospital number shown on the listing, use WhatsApp where it is shown, or visit during outpatient hours. Ask about the consultation fee, whether an appointment is needed, and which documents or earlier reports to bring.
How much does a cardiologist consultation cost in Bikaner?
Fees depend on the doctor's experience, the type of facility and the tests or procedures involved, and we do not publish unverified prices. Ask the clinic for the consultation fee and any follow-up charges when you call; government hospitals generally charge much less than private clinics.
Which hospitals in Bikaner offer cardiologist services?
Well-known hospitals and institutions often named for Bikaner include SP Medical College, and the city also has many other hospitals and clinics. Each has its own outpatient timings and departments, so check availability for cardiologist services directly before you go. This is general information, not a complete directory.
Which heart tests are usually done first?
An ECG is quick and widely available. Based on your history the cardiologist may add an echocardiogram to look at heart function, a treadmill test to see how the heart behaves under stress, and blood tests such as a lipid profile. Angiography is reserved for cases where blockages are suspected.
What is the difference between a cardiologist and a cardiac surgeon?
A cardiologist treats heart disease with medicines and catheter-based procedures like angioplasty. A cardiac surgeon (MCh CTVS) performs open or minimally invasive surgery such as bypass or valve replacement. They often work together on the same patient.
Can I get a heart check-up in Bikaner without symptoms?
Yes. Preventive check-ups usually include blood pressure, ECG, lipid profile and sugar tests, and are worth considering after 40, or earlier with diabetes, smoking, obesity or a family history of heart disease.
How many hospital beds does Bikaner have?
No public source counts beds city by city. Scaling state data to the city population gives an estimate of about 1,000 beds (around 52 ICU beds) for Bikaner. Treat it as a rough guide rather than an official count.
