Last month, a man who works long hours at an office near Old Faridabad told me he’d been getting evening headaches almost daily for nearly two months — the kind that would start around 6 or 7 PM, after a full day at his desk, and linger until he went to sleep. He’d tried assuming it was screen fatigue, then eye strain, then simple exhaustion. What finally brought him in was realizing he could actually reach a neurology consultation close to home, in the evening, without needing to take time off work. That’s often the deciding factor for patients from Sector 21C and the surrounding areas — not whether they need to see a specialist, but whether they can actually fit it into their day.
Sector 21C is somewhat unusual among Faridabad’s residential sectors because it directly houses one of my regular consultation locations — the Mediclub Clinic. That makes it a genuinely convenient option for residents in and around this pocket, particularly for evening appointments after work hours.
When Should You See a Neurologist If You’re in Sector 21C?
A lot of neurological symptoms get explained away for far too long — put down to stress, poor posture, screen time, or simply “getting older.” Some patterns, though, are worth an actual evaluation rather than continued guessing:
- Headaches that occur frequently, are unusually severe, or have changed in character from what you’re used to
- Sudden or recurring numbness, tingling, or weakness, especially localized to one side of the body
- Tremors, stiffness, or noticeable changes in the way you walk or move
- Vertigo or dizziness that keeps recurring, particularly with nausea or imbalance
- Seizure-like episodes, including brief spells of unresponsiveness or unexplained “blackouts”
- Progressive memory difficulties that go beyond typical forgetfulness
- Persistent burning, numbness, or tingling in the hands or feet
Occasional versions of these symptoms are usually not concerning. What matters is persistence, a change in pattern, or a combination of symptoms occurring together — that’s generally when I’d recommend getting it properly assessed.
Conditions I Commonly Treat
My clinical practice covers the full range of adult neurology, including stroke, migraine and chronic headache, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease and movement disorders, dementia, and neuropathy, along with less common conditions like multiple sclerosis, neuromuscular disorders, and central nervous system infections.
For headache and migraine specifically, I completed a Fellowship in Interventional Headache Medicine, which gives me a more focused toolkit for patients whose headaches haven’t responded well to standard treatment — including advanced options for genuinely chronic, disabling migraine.
Why Training and Approach Matter More Than You’d Expect
I say this to patients often: the same symptom can have very different underlying causes, and the diagnostic process depends heavily on distinguishing between them rather than treating every headache, every episode of numbness, or every bout of dizziness the same way. That distinction is the actual work of a neurology consultation — not simply naming a condition, but working out which one actually fits your specific pattern.
This is part of why I trained specifically in neurology as a super-specialty — MBBS and MD in General Medicine from BHU, followed by a DM in Neurology from AIIMS, New Delhi, and further training through MRCP (UK), FRCP (London), FRCP (Glasgow), and FEBN. Over more than 15 years, that training has largely been about learning to tell these overlapping symptom patterns apart accurately. You can read more about my training and background here.
What to Expect at a Consultation
A first appointment usually begins with a detailed conversation about your symptoms — timing, triggers, what makes them better or worse, and relevant family history — followed by a hands-on neurological examination. Depending on what that reveals, I may recommend specific tests such as an EEG, nerve conduction study, or imaging, or I may be able to reach a clear working diagnosis from the history and examination alone, particularly for conditions like migraine. Either way, you’ll leave with an explanation you can actually understand and a concrete plan, rather than a vague “let’s wait and see.”
Recognizing a Neurological Emergency
Certain symptoms should never wait for a scheduled clinic visit. Sudden facial drooping, weakness or numbness on one side of the body, slurred or garbled speech, sudden vision loss, or a sudden, severe imbalance are warning signs of stroke, and require immediate emergency care — not a booked appointment days later. If you or someone with you experiences these symptoms, go to the nearest emergency room without delay.
Neurologist Near Sector 21C, Faridabad — Where Can You Consult Dr. Kunal Bahrani?
The Mediclub Clinic is located directly within Sector 21C, making it one of the more accessible consultation points for residents of this locality, particularly for evening appointments. I also consult at Yatharth Super Speciality Hospital in Sector 20, which is a short distance away for patients who prefer that location or need access to broader hospital diagnostics. Current consultation days and timings for both locations are listed on the contact page — I’d recommend confirming availability before visiting, since schedules are occasionally updated. You can view current slots and book an appointment here.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a neurologist consulting directly in Sector 21C, Faridabad? Yes. The Mediclub Clinic, where I hold evening consultations, is located within Sector 21C.
What evening symptoms should prompt a neurology visit rather than waiting it out? Headaches that build through the day and don’t ease with rest, recurring dizziness, new numbness or tingling, or any episode resembling a seizure are worth evaluating rather than attributing to fatigue indefinitely.
Can a neurologist help with chronic, treatment-resistant migraine? Yes. For migraine that hasn’t responded well to standard treatment, there are additional options worth discussing, including advanced preventive strategies for chronic cases.
Do I need a referral to see a neurologist in Sector 21C? No referral is required. You can book a consultation directly if you have symptoms warranting evaluation.
How do I know if my headache needs urgent care rather than a scheduled appointment? A sudden, severe headache unlike any you’ve had before, especially with confusion, vision changes, weakness, or fever and neck stiffness, needs emergency evaluation immediately rather than a routine booking.
Residents of Sector 21C have direct access to a neurology consultation within the locality itself, which makes it easier to act on a symptom rather than let it sit unaddressed for months. If you’ve been managing a headache, tremor, memory concern, or nerve-related symptom without getting it properly evaluated, it’s worth booking a consultation and getting a clear picture of what’s actually going on.
