Visited For Bronchial Asthma Treatment
Happy with: Treatment satisfaction
I am a patient diagnosed with Asthma and living with inhalers for the past thirty years. I have been consulting Dr.Vijayasaratha since last July. When I met her, I was almost in a chronic stage- and was put on nebuliser for a week. Then , gradually, the treatment shifted from Nebuliser to inhalers and a set of sustaining medicines. The treatment was perfectly blended with necessary checks on Liver function test and allergy test at frequent intervals. The frequency of consulting shifted from fortnight to a month to three months.
What I liked is the way she used the prescription to chart the history of treatment. Every time, she makes note of the history of treatment at the right hand top corner and the alternate strategy- of what medicine to give, if current prescription does not work- in the bottom left corner of the prescription. That enabled a perfect continuation of the treatment, even if we met three moths later.
After a year of treatment, I am almost free of the so called wheezing and breathing issue. Now, I am just on a one puff of inhaler per day, sustenance dose. I have got the confidence to move around without carrying my inhaler with me, since there are no sudden attacks at all.
Frankly, it feels like a second birth-with so much of power and energy at my disposal, which I have been deprived of, for so many years. I am referring to her to all my friends, who also give a positive feedback. I wish all those with breathing issues get to know her and get their pain eased out.
Visited For Lung Infections Treatment
We have been consulting her for my father who is 80 years old for the past one year. She analyses the root cause of the problem correctly and by doing proper diagnosis she chooses medicines which give good results. She spends enough time for each patient at every visit and above all she is reachable over phone and replies to urgent queries during critical situations.
As said in the previous feed back she is very simple and soft spoken. She is very sincere in her work and takes utmost care of the patient. She one of those Doctors who do real service to the human kind.

I took my mom for wheezing issue. The way the doctor listened to our problem, saw through our previous investigations and allowed us to explain and ask everything was really surprising. These days doctors don't have patience to listen to patients. But madam was different. She was extremely patient. She didn't ask ask to do or buy any extra medicines or tests apart from one extremely required. Iam happy I took my mom to her. Although wait time was a little unexpected, the experience was worth the time. Hope my mom gets the best out of it.

I actually went for my wife's treatment, the Doctor was really a down to earth person. Only after the consultation with Doctor, we were totally peaceful because it removed the doubt that the disease(a type of TB) does not continue in her. It has given her confidence in herself and is not disturbing me.

Event though we had appointment for 1pm, the attenders said they are processing only based on first come first serve and they let go and meet doctor at 2:30pm as we were the last in the queue. That was pretty disappointing other than that everything was good.
