Dr Kharb's Pet Clinic & Surgery

Dr. Ranjit Kharb has been a trusted vet in the Munirka area for over two decades. One reviewer wrote, "Dr. Ranjit Kharb has been the vet for my 3 dogs — 2 labs and an Indie — for the last 20+ years," and another noted that "Kharb's father was vet to my mother's dog when she was growing up." This multi-generational continuity is uncommon in Delhi's veterinary landscape and signals deep community trust. With 604+ Google reviews and a 4.2-star rating, the clinic is among the most reviewed in South Delhi. Reviewers praise Dr. Kharb's ability to save dogs in critical situations — "for saving my dog not once but twice" is a direct quote. For routine care or complex cases near Munirka, the long track record makes this a safe and established first choice for most pet owners.

Dr. Kharb's clinic performs diagnostics and surgery in-house, including X-rays, blood tests, and ultrasounds — confirmed directly in reviews. One reviewer summarised: "Xray, Blood test, Ultrasound, Surgery — best doc for my pets." Surgical outcomes are repeatedly highlighted, with one owner noting "the surgery on the second dog was top quality, resulting in a much lower recovery time." Another wrote that Dr. Kharb "saved my doggie and best friend Bandiya multiple times." The facility is wheelchair accessible, which typically signals proper clinical infrastructure. Operating hours are split — 9am to 1pm and 5pm to 8pm on weekdays, with 9am to 12pm on Sundays. Arriving during morning hours is advisable for consultations requiring diagnostics. Call +91 99688 44927 to confirm whether specific equipment like ultrasound is set up and available on your planned visit day.

Pricing at Dr. Kharb's clinic runs above average by several accounts — three separate reviewers flagged cost as a concern. One first-time visitor wrote, "Bit expensive, seems no discount to stray dogs and animals." The value_for_money score is neutral at 0.55, not strongly positive. That said, result_quality scores 0.72, indicating most clients feel outcomes justify what they paid. The clinic does not appear to publish a fee list publicly. For budget-conscious visits — especially if you are bringing a rescued stray — call ahead to ask about consultation fees and whether any concession applies. For complex surgery or multi-step diagnostics, the in-house capability often offsets costs compared to referral-based clinics that send dogs elsewhere for X-rays or ultrasound. Asking for a cost estimate before any procedure is a reasonable step regardless of where you take your pet in Delhi.

Wait times at Dr. Kharb's clinic are rated neutral — the wait_time score of 0.55 sits below the positive threshold. Four reviewers raised wait-related concerns, including one who had to call multiple times before receiving a promised diagnostic report. Given the clinic's review volume of 604+, footfall is clearly high and morning slots fill quickly on weekdays. The split-shift format — 9am to 1pm and 5pm to 8pm — compresses available time, especially during the morning window. Sunday hours are limited to 9am to 12pm. Walk-ins appear possible but are not guaranteed to be seen promptly during busy periods. For diagnostics like blood tests or imaging, calling ahead to book a specific slot at the Munirka Vihar DDA Market location is strongly recommended so you are not left waiting in an already-occupied queue.

Dr. Kharb's clinical competence is not in dispute — six reviewers explicitly praised his skill, and multiple surgery outcomes are described as life-saving. The tension in reviews is about interpersonal style: one reviewer noted "Dr. Kharb has a lot of experience, no doubt, but fairly poor on compassionate grounds," and another mentioned the "staff and the doctor had too much attitude." Rude_staff complaints account for 2 of 20 recent reviews — a minority but not negligible. This pattern is common in high-demand specialist practices where throughput is high. Trustworthy is still the top praise theme with 7 mentions, significantly outweighing the interpersonal concerns. If a gentle, communicative style matters for your anxious pet, mention this explicitly at check-in so the team can calibrate their approach rather than applying a default clinical manner.

Dr. Kharb's clinic has treated Indian Pariah Dogs and stray animals — both are confirmed in reviews. However, one reviewer specifically noted the clinic offers no discount to stray dogs and expressed disappointment. The clinic operates on standard commercial terms for all animals, including rescues and street dogs. For NGOs or individuals fostering rescued animals, this is worth factoring into your budget before visiting. Dr. Ranjit Kharb's experience spans over two decades and covers Labs, Indian Pariah Dogs, Dachshunds, Rottweilers, and Beagles — pointing to genuine breadth across pedigree and non-pedigree animals alike. The wheelchair-accessible facility at Munirka Vihar DDA Market is designed for regular public access. If you are bringing a stray for urgent care, call ahead to confirm the current fee structure and whether the clinic can accommodate a walk-in emergency.

Gentle handling at Dr. Kharb's clinic scores 0.72 — a positive rating, though not at the top of the Delhi vet cohort. Five reviewers praised the friendly staff specifically, and the clinic's post-surgery care is consistently highlighted. One owner wrote that "the surgery on the second dog was top quality, resulting in a much lower recovery time" — a strong signal of attentive post-operative management. Where concerns exist, they relate to the senior doctor's interpersonal style rather than the support staff's handling ability. The clinic has managed sensitive cases including a dog saved multiple times from critical conditions, and a kitten seen in an emergency for vaccinations, suggesting the team can manage varied stress levels in animals. For particularly anxious dogs, the quieter Sunday morning window from 9am to 12pm at the Munirka Vihar location may reduce environmental stimulation during the visit.
