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.

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.

Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyWait time
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.
