Doctor Vijay is really friendly person, he explained the problem well and unlike some of the doctors I met before, he doesn’t treat patients like a number on the sheet. I can feel some relief in my body pain, joint pain as well, I hope and wish to get well soon.

The moment a patient enters the Doctor's cabin he makes them feel comfortable, pleasantly talking to them enquiring about the health, he also studies the case carefully, advises thoughtfully, half the time he cracks plenty of jokes where the patients themselves keep laughing. Overall the patient is happy with the treatment
