Cardiologists in Mumbai at a glance
Quick facts about Mumbai and its healthcare system. Hospital, bed and doctor figures are estimates scaled from state and national data, because no public source counts them city by city.

Mumbai has an estimated 22.1 million (221 lakh) residents in 2025, based on the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate. That makes it number 2 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Metro (5M+) size band. At the assumed growth of 1.9% a year, it would reach about 24.3 million by 2030, so demand for cardiologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Maharashtra's 1.83 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 40,000 hospital beds in Mumbai, including about 2,000 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 560 hospitals (about 120 public and 430 private). That is about 546 residents for every bed and around 72 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 26,000 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 27,000 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Mumbai, supported by around 49,000 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 Mumbai.
On health outcomes, Maharashtra's infant mortality rate is 13 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 74.5 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 78% of hospital beds in Maharashtra are private, so most people weigh private cardiologists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 cardiologist for Mumbai, and 18 other cities in Maharashtra have their own cardiologist page below.

When to see a cardiologist in Mumbai
- Chest discomfort on exertion
- Breathlessness, palpitations or fainting
- A family history of early heart disease
- Diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol
- Follow-up after a heart attack, stent or bypass
Emergency: Sudden chest pain spreading to the arm or jaw, sweating or collapse may be a heart attack: call 108 immediately and do not drive yourself. India's free ambulance number is 108.
How to choose a cardiologist in Mumbai
- 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 Mumbai: the bigger picture
No public source counts hospitals city by city, so these figures are estimates: roughly 40,000 beds and 560 hospitals for Mumbai. Maharashtra state averages about 1.8 hospital beds per 1,000 people, above the India-wide figure of roughly 1.4. The private sector holds about 78% of beds in Maharashtra.
Well-known hospitals and institutions commonly named for Mumbai include Tata Memorial, KEM, LTMG Sion, Sir JJ Group and BYL Nair. Government outpatient departments can be crowded, which is one reason many people also consult a private Cardiologist - ask each place about timings and documents to bring. (General-knowledge list; verify before relying on it.)
For context on health outcomes in Maharashtra: the state infant mortality rate is 13 per 1,000 live births (2024), lower than the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 74.5 years, above the national estimate of 72. These are state-wide figures, not city measurements.
Across all systems of medicine, Mumbai is estimated to have around 27,000 practising doctors at the national ratio of one per 811 people. Specialist numbers are not published by city, so a cardiologist's qualification and registration are the best things to verify.
Data note: Overlaps the Mumbai / Pune / NCR agglomeration; treat the estimate as a rough guide.
Before you visit: what to carry
- Carry all heart medicines in their strips
- Note when the discomfort occurs and how long it lasts
- Wear comfortable clothes if a treadmill test is planned
Frequently asked questions: Cardiologists in Mumbai
How do I find the best cardiologist in Mumbai?
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 Amit Patil (Surana Sethia Hospital, Sion-Trombay Rd, Suman Nagar, Chembur, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400071) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.
How can I book an appointment with a cardiologist in Mumbai?
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 Mumbai?
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 Mumbai offer cardiologist services?
Well-known hospitals and institutions often named for Mumbai include Tata Memorial, KEM, LTMG Sion, Sir JJ Group and BYL Nair, 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.
When should I see a cardiologist rather than a general physician in Mumbai?
See a cardiologist for chest discomfort on exertion, palpitations, unexplained breathlessness, fainting, or if you have had a heart attack or stent. A general physician can do the first check and refer you, but a cardiologist can interpret echo, TMT and angiography results.
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.
How many hospital beds does Mumbai have?
No public source counts beds city by city. Scaling state data to the city population gives an estimate of about 40,000 beds (around 2,000 ICU beds) for Mumbai. Treat it as a rough guide rather than an official count.
