Patients Speak
“I’m 35 years old and I had been suffering from GERD for one year. I visited many renowned doctors in Mumbai who sent me for several tests and prescribed me medicines but my condition kept worsening. I found WGI while running a Google Search and landed up here. During the first consultation itself, Dr Rathod gave me some very positive vibes. The endoscopy was very easy, painless and the whole process was very smooth. By my second visit, I had already recovered 80%. I strongly recommend Dr. Rathod to anyone who has digestive issues.”
Zuhair
“I had been suffering from stomach issues for the last 2 years. About. a year ago, I visited another doctor, where I was diagnosed with kidney stones and prescribed medication. I took the medication but my condition worsened to the extent I wasn’t able to swallow food or even drink water for a whole week. My son found WGI on the internet and I landed up there in the morning, literally weeping. By the evening when I left, I was smiling and without any medication, I was able to eat dinner that night. I ate like a person who hadn’t eaten in years! I’m nearing the end of my treatment now and I’m feeling great. I cannot begin to express my gratitude to Dr Rathod and WGI. If there’s any stomach issue you have, there is no other place I’d recommend.”
Arun Rai
“One month ago, I had terrible pain in my gut. I was in the United States and I came all the way back to India, where I live, for help. Dr Vipul did an amazing job and has brought me back to health. I was alone when I came but the staff at WGI was extremely professional and very helpful”
