Dr. Vishal Girotra

Being very true to myself, Dr.Vishal is worth being a psychiatrist. And he is worth all the positive reviews.In my review, I would like to include somethings that I have learnt from my experience and I hope that it would help others in making a wise decision.I went through the negative reviews and I can say that they are not very wrong but at the same time, I can assure that they aren't correct either. It's just a matter of point of view and mismatch of tunning.As a patient, after having been to hundreds of doctors earlier, we form a preconceived notion about the new doctor without actually visiting him. And just after the 1st meeting, we start to judge the rapport between us and the doctor. I believe that the field of psychiatry is very different from other fields of medicine. Psychiatry deals with a person and the underlying chemistry as a whole whereas other fields treat a person as a machine with a chemistry. So, building a rapport becomes much more important for a good treatment progress. I believe that just one or two meetings aren't sufficient enough to judge any doctor or anyone in person. I had made the same mistake in 2016. But then by September 2018, I again visited him after roaming around to a lot of other doctors, and today I can firmly say that Dr.Vishal is one of the most empathetic psychiatrist I have ever met. I have been to almost all possible reputed psychiatric hospitals in India and I know that the words of mine about Dr.Vishal mean a lot, but they are equally true as well. Usually 1st or 2nd meeting goes in history taking and problem assessment, and so on. It's usually the patient speaking to the doctor most of the time, and I think judging someone by just 1st or 2nd meeting is too early. Many a times, after 1st or 2nd meeting, we feel dissapointed because majorly it's in a monologue form. But then slowly and steadily, as and when you get to know the approach of the doctor, you start building a good rapport with him because by the 3rd meeting the dialogue pattern starts. I firmly believe that Dr.Vishal can be of a great help to thousands of patients like me out there, provided we give him some time and atleast a few meetings before making any declaration. 1st or 2nd meeting would be too early to judge someone because most of the time we are biased with our preconceived notions. With time and efforts, you get to know and understand the doctor and speak up what you don't like or feel uncomfortable about his treatment modality in terms of you and that's when you open up about your problems even more. It helps even the doctor to understand you better and fine tune the treatment modality and plan as per your need and thought patterns. And slowly and steadily you start observing changes.I would only suggest that, have patience and with any doctor(yes, any doctor), before stopping his/her treatment, just pay him/her atleast 3 visits before deciding whether to continue with the treatment or not. And try being very open about anything that you don't find comfortable, either it be related to the treatment methodology or whatever. This time in September, 2018 when I revisited Dr.Vishal after 2 years (for I knew that he is one of the most empathetic psychiatrist I had met earlier) I narrated the reason because of which I stopped visiting him. And it was then that he gave me his point of view on my narration, and after listening to him, I can assure you that, I felt that it wasn't a wise decision of mine to stop his treatment in 2016 without actually getting to know his point of view.It's always better to make an informed choice. Before making a choice, one should know other's point of view as well, else we may miss out on something/someone very important without even realising the importance.I hope, my words would help others make wise decisions, unlike me.I hope this feedback would of help to other patients roaming around throughout India in search of the right doctor.

Dr. Vishal Girotra has an exceptional talent for easing patients' anxiety, which is very important for those with mental health issues. The clinic environment was accommodating to patients' needs, and the consultation time was sufficient. He was also very understanding and accommodated us even though we were late.

I've been on medicines since 2002 and it has been a very tough journey. After seeing about 10-12 doctors including the government hospital doctor's for true opinion I was declared incurable and was asked to go for ECTs and that scared me to death.I was suggested Dr.Vishal by number of psychologists and finally I went to him few months back. I've never seen a doc who is so empathetic at the same time won't make any untrue promises. After 2-3 meetings we were able to get at the right combination of medicines and throughout this period which for any patient is very taxing emotionally and mentally sir was available on call and messages. Whatever could be sorted on a call he helped me and didn't ask me to visit for the sake of fees, this makes him different from most of the psychiatrists who be either unavailable on call or would require you to personally visit the clinic.he went through my old prescriptions thoroughly. my medical history and old prescriptions are like a big booklet sir read each one of them. I don't respond medicines really well most of them do not cause any effect and rest have bad reactions on my body like swelling, lathargy etc. I really can't explain what magical combination he gave that from a person who was disfunctional I became very organised and after years of struggle I've have a routine.few medicines that sir gave were never used by any of the previous doctors.the appointment system is very well organised and the staff who takes appointment and also connects to sir in case of query is very friendly.patients like us sometimes go over the board and call continuously, he handles very well.I can't thank him enough for bringing life to my dead soul. I am looking after my toddler like any other normal mother, handling my work and daily chores. Thank you Sir.

I highly recommend Dr. Vishal Girotra. He feels like a guardian ** **** **** *** ** *** bringing new hope to my life and my parents'. The communication was good as well.

Dr. Vishal Girotra has been a lifesaver for my husband during his battle with depression. His compassionate and insightful approach made us feel truly understood, not just treated. We are very satisfied with the doctor's guidance and care.

Dr. Vishal Girotra is an excellent neurologist who treats patients like family *** *** ***** ******* ********** The staff was very courteous, and the clinic environment was comforting. Overall, the consultation felt like good value for money.

I have been consulting Dr. Vishal Girotra for the last 10 years, and his advice has always kept me fit at the age of 82. Even when I was in America for 18 months, his guidance helped me stay healthy and motivated, especially during my cancer treatment. He listens patiently and helped me manage my anxiety, which gave me confidence and quick recovery. I feel very lucky to have a doctor who cares like a family member and never demands consultation fees. I would rate him ten out of ten.
