It was suggested by a friend of mine to consult Dr. Vipul and to my surprise, even my mom had to do an endoscopy, not soon that I realized that almost all the patients have to go through endoscopy (costing around 8k).
The medicines were too powerful and harsh and my mom discontinued it. When I called the doctor regarding the same he just asked to continue the medicines, its just normal discomfort.
Consulted another Doc and it was resolved just in 1 visit.

I paid 2000 rupees, waited for 1.5 hours. Net doctor for 2 minutes and was told to get some 4 tests done. Again was asked to wait for the file to come. I got so tired of waiting more that i left minus the file. Unsatisfactory experience and it was literally 2000 rupees and 2 hours of time all wasted

The experience with way of treatment ( endoscopy) by Dr. Rathod sir can not be explained rather it can only be felt. It's my personal feeling. It's completely painless. Where as I hv been suffering from gastro problem since last 30 years and hv gone through endoscopy several times in odisha with lots of pain but no proper diagnosis of disease. . I will definitely pass this experience to my all nears and dears who r suffering from gastro problem to straight away go and treatment at WGI without moving here and there.

Dr was able to explain the medical terms in a layman's terms, that helped us to understand the issue with our kid, as till now whoever Dr we meet explained us in medical terms which we were not able to understand and we were under impression that something is are really bad with our kid, but that was not the case as Dr explained us in friendly manner and gave us the confidence that our kid will be allright in his presence. The staff is also very friendly and makes sure patients and their relatives are comfortable. They really take very well care.

I haven’t have treatment there yet. So won’t be able to say anything regarding that. But process to reach the doctor was an ordeal. At an appointment of 12.30 pm , I got to see the doctor at 3.30 . Doctor himself is most affable and tend to put you at ease. He recommended some procedures that would have me admitted for a day . Upon inquiry on insurance process , the staff first said that they don’t engage cashless option with govt insurance companies . When I informed the staff that I also have pvt insurance , he came back with “ that won’t be any help . We have arrears with every insurance company “

Yes in a way it was good experience but small suggestions to Dr.Vipulroy that he must give his WhatsApp no.to the patient as it gives empowerment to the Patient and talking to Assist Dr.team sometimes not happy as they may be busy not picking up the phone. Also we came over there in the name of Dr.Vipulroy Rathod and not in the name of Assist team of Doctor. So somewhere we are not getting value of treatment. Of course patient won't be talking for more then 30 seconds. So we want WhatsApp no.of Dr. Vipulroy Rathod.

Consultation- Consulting cost is 2k, waited for 40 mins to see the junior doctor who took the history. Met the doctor immediately after and he suggested 4 tests - Blood test, Sonography, CT Sacn and endoscopy. CT was to rule out covid, is what I was told. 12k was the total billing for the test only excluding endoscopy. I was satisfied with the consultation with Dr Rathod as he explained in detail and asked if I have doubts. Treatment- I was diagnosed for fungal and bacterial infection in the stomach and was advised by a junior doctor about my condition and the dos and donts. I requested to speak with Dr Rathod but was told he is in a surgery, that I felt was not right. Having said that, the junior doctor did explain well. Endoscopy by itself was 18kMedication for 1 months from the pharmacy was 7k. So spent almost 40k for this treatmentOver all, Since I havent started the treatment, I was very satisfied with the diagnosis and will post about the treatment soon. In all, until now 4 stars from me

I came here for my 14 year old daughter who was going through extreme abdominal pain and we came here after she could not be diagnosed properly at one of a very well known hospital of mumbai where the doctor behaved like God and was full of arrogance. One of my friend luckily recommended about this place and I am so grateful and would always remain so to my friend and to this wonderful doctor.
Dr Rathod at WGI consoled my daughter the moment we entered his cabin and within few hours he could do the accurate diagnosis and relieved her of excruciating pain and the trauma she was going through for past many days. In fact she also could not appear for few of her class 9 exam papers. I would highly recommend this doctor and this place for any one who is having any gastro related trouble. They are super specialists and deliver quick and awesome results. I just wished I had come here earlier before going to the so- called branded hospital. God bless this place and all the patients who come here.
