Dr Vijay Rao is extremely well qualified and is highly recommended.
Any patient will find him very methodical and precise in his medical treatment plan.The doctor takes into consideration every minute aspect of the patient's medical condition and history before formulating the treatment schedule.All of this is very transperant and recorded clearly in the case sheet in simple language( not confusing medical jargon) . Therefore,
the patient is always aware why a certain medicine is being given/changed or why a lab test or injection is called for.
The progress is monitored closely in periodic checks and review till required.
In summary- if anyone has a medical condition which Dr Rao is qualified to address,the patient can be assured that he/she is in capable and trustworthy hands and if there is any scope for improvement, this doctor will definitely find it!

I cannot express how grateful I am to Divisha Clinic for their outstanding care and treatment. After suffering from ankylosing spondylitis for nearly 5 years and visiting 5 different doctors without significant relief, I was beginning to lose hope. However, everything changed when I started my treatment at Divisha Clinic.
From the very first consultation, the doctor was incredibly attentive, taking the time to understand my history and symptoms in detail. Unlike other experiences I've had, where I felt like just another patient, the care here was personalized and thorough.
Thanks to their expertise and a carefully tailored treatment plan, I am now living pain-free for the first time in years. The difference in my quality of life is extraordinary, and I owe it all to the dedicated professionals at Divisha Clinic.
If you are struggling with ankylosing spondylitis or any other chronic pain condition, I highly recommend Divisha Clinic. They not only treat your symptoms but truly care about your well-being.
Thank you, Divisha Clinic, for giving me my life back!

We took our mother to see the doctor for the first time in 2021. His prescribed medicines have been doing very good work with my mother. She feels good and relaxed. Doctor is very warming, gives time to patients to relax and explain their problems. Listens to them well and then prescribes very good medications for the patient. Doctor also urges patients for periodic visits to review status and update medicine if required. Coming to the clinic, it’s at a very peaceful location and is super clean. All the staffs are very helpful and cooperative.
