I have been facing issues of acidity and intentional disorder issues for past 15 years For past 15 years, I haven visited various GP and GI specialist however none of them could able to find out the root cause. Just two days back I visited Dr. Vipulroy and explained him my story of 15 years. He is the only Dr who said I assure you that it’s his responsibility to set my guy on track, he also advised me to make changes in my day to day life like Yoga, excercise. He suggested for Endoscopy and colonoscopy to arrive at root cause of issues. Yesterday the process took smoothly, I appreciate his team for the excellent support and special thanks to Bhakti Madam to made the entire process smooth, thanks a lot madam to you and your team. I strongly recommend Dr Vipulroy for GI related oases, he is not only professional but he is very much transparent in explaining the entire process Thanks a lot Dr Vipul, Ms Bhakti and entire team for their support Tanmay Hire2025-01-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Vipul is a great character. He has knowledge and empathy and understands the psyche of the patient which helps him convince the patient to do what's best for him/her. He does this with great conviction. I have seen a couple of cases where patients from Nashik were advised immediate surgery by the local doctors but after consulting Dr Vipul amd undergoing endoscopy, they were cured with medicines. I request the doctors' community in Nashik, please don't look at the patient as a money-making resource. And I request all patients in Nashik that there are hardly any genuine, knowledgeable, kind and non-greedy doctors in Nashik. Please do not give you precious life's responsibility to any local doctor. Doctors like Dr Vipul will help you in the best way because they have a reputation to maintain, money is not the concern. Also, if you want to get hospitalise, do so in good hospitals in Mumbai like Fortis, Lilavati, Apollo(Navi Mumbai). You'll think these hospitals are expensive but you'll be surprised to know that hospitals in Nashik are more expensive and not just worth because of lack of conviction and quality of doctors and the support staff.
