I and my husband both had consulted Dr. Vigna for our individual health concerns. I think he is a very skilled doctor, who knows exactly how to proceed with line of treatments for his patients. The medicines prescribed by him are effective. Usually in any health facility, unnecessary repetitive tests are prescribed, but in our consultation with him, no such repetition of tests were done. Many thanks to you for your support and being a good doctor.
But two feedbacks for him, his handwriting is very bad and only pharmaceutical in manipal can understand his prescriptions.
Secondly, the way his explain to the patient is too technical for layperson to understand. And usually when one is out of his chamber ,every details is like greek n latin.

****** ** **** ************* *** ************* Allows you to explain yourself and listens patiently . Avoids unnecessary procedures and medications . Explains the case and the reports thoroughly and what and how to proceed for treatment.
I was diagnosed with a large hiatus hernia and doctor refrained from immidiate surgery inclining towards lifestyle changes and medications as the first line of treatment. Most other doctors will directly ask for surgery without caring about trying other non surgical measures which could actually cure .
Can't say much about the medications since I will be starting them from today. The personal experience was great and I would surely recommend Dr. Raj for gastro-ailments . Thanks .

I underwent clonoscopy operation at Manipal centre and the tissues were sent to biopsy. The operation was done by Dr. Raj. He had asked me to show the biopsy report. As I could not go to Manipal I chose your clnic for post operative consultation. As it was only a post operative consultation with the same doctor. I thought i would not be charged. But I was surprised that you charged me INR 700 as if I am a new patient,consulting for the first time..
It was nice to interact with the doctor and is very calm and receptive to the patients complaints.
Very good approach to the patient and no unwanted tests in the beginning itself. Prescribed medication and to go back if problems persists. Very positive approach. Matter of fact consultation. Very happy. Don't hesitate to recommend him to any one needs to meet a gastroenterologist.

Happy with:Â Explanation of the health issue
I went to Dr. Raj because I had symptoms of jaundice. He asked to me take a few tests and diagnosed my problem promptly. He didn't unnecessarily recommend too many expensive tests. He explained things properly although I had to ask and get few things clarified. Gets a recommendation from me.
