I happened to meet the doctor and the experience was good. Doctor was listening to my problems. The doctor’s behaviour is good, treatment is also good, everything was good. I will recommend the doctor to family and friends. As of now nothing to improve everything was good. I don’t have any concern. Doctor prescribed some medicines. I am satisfied with the doctor’s treatment.”

After knowing about my gallstone problem I almost stopped being happy or even normal due to anxiety.
When I had visited Dr Vinay Bhat, after long time I felt I was normal and I could be easily happy. He showed the way forward with great empathy, care and effectiveness, most of all with immense simplicity. It healed me and my anxiety also reduced just by talking to him.
His approach is very effective and professional.
The surgery went very smoothly and I am greatful to him, his team and Aster from the core of my heart.
He is a great value add to this world. May God bless him and his team.
