Divisha Arthritis and Medical Center, Basaveshwaranagar

I am writing this review post 1 year 3 months of treatment and have not made any statement early so that patients will not be misguided.

Issue: Lower back pain due to acute sacroiliitis and Disc herniation/bulge of 11mm at L5-S1 and mild bulge at L4-5. Pain was intolerable and found very difficult to even get up from bed.

Diagnosis: Was declared as Ankylosing Spondylosis as I was HLA-B27(genetics) positive.

Consulted some of the best doctors from prestigious hospitals and was prescribed SAAZ 2 500mg morning and night and was not very happy about it. They also insisted that this will remain for the rest of my life and dose may increase or prescription can change.

Considering the above, started with a bit of research and found good reviews for Dr Vijay KR Rao and thought of giving a try even though was bit skeptical in the start.

Consulted him and he was very positive and gave me the confidence that I will be cured in 2 to 2.5 years and was not able to believe him initially as I was going through so much of pain and mental trauma.

Started following the lifestyle changes suggested from him and intake of regular medicines prescribed and now past 1 year 3 months, I am able to do everything and now regularly indulge in workouts (3 days jogging and 3 days strengthening exercises) comfortably.

I can honestly say that I am almost back to normal life but still if i go out of diet then I do experience sacroiliitis pain which I normally treat it with hot water bag instead of pain killers.

Also avoid any form of packed foods/sugar/smoking this will help to reduce pain by 50%.

I am deeply grateful to Dr. Vijay K.R. Rao for his exceptional care and expertise in managing my father's health conditions. My father has been battling rheumatoid arthritis and interstitial lung disease, both of which can be incredibly challenging to manage. Dr. Rao's comprehensive and compassionate approach has made a significant difference in my father's quality of life.

From our very first consultation, Dr. Rao impressed us with his thorough understanding of these complex conditions. He took the time to explain the intricacies of rheumatoid arthritis and interstitial lung disease, ensuring we fully understood the treatment plan and its objectives. His ability to convey complicated medical information in a clear and empathetic manner has been immensely reassuring.

Dr. Rao's treatment regimen for my father's rheumatoid arthritis has been particularly effective. He has carefully monitored and adjusted medications to minimize side effects and maximize benefits. My father's mobility and pain levels have improved remarkably under his care, allowing him to maintain a more active and fulfilling lifestyle.

I consulted Dr Vijay for management of SLE. Sir has been always very patient to hear my symptoms, compassionate as well as very encouraging. Vijay Sir understands the patient's problems and caters to their convenience by offering both online (virtual) consultations as well as clinic consultations. Sir offers attractive and much needed discounts on the medications through his pharmacy.

The clinic is a holistic set up where we are treated through medications, physiotherapy and yoga ensuring that we bounce back to a totally normal life as pain free as possible at the earliest. The clinic staff are also extremely polite and guide as through appointment bookings, medications, blood tests etc. The nursing staffs are extremely compassionate and caring and ensure that we have a smooth, stress free and comfortable experience during infusions.

Overall Dr Vijay and his team ensure excellent healthcare services with a compassionate human touch and the team is an absolute blessing for patients with autoimmune disorders.
