My mother has been under his treatment for 2 months. Medications are helping her with the pain management. Doctor is friendly and patiently hears out our problems. He is busy so expect some waiting time. Also the place has a spiritual vibe as echoed by the doctor probably and the clinic is well maintained.

I was suffering from rheumatoid arthritis from 4yrs . After visiting so many doctors,like ayurvedic, Alopathi, homeopathy, home remedies, everything is over. I lost hope in cure of my disease and droped 1 yr studies also. Again I tried continue it. But 1 day I got severe pain in my right hand and searching for some other docter. On google I came to know about dr vijay sir treatment . We visited it and took medication for only 1 month. I got relief of pain and I am happy now and sir said to visit again after 2months
