Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very Knowledgeable and Caring Doctor
Dr. Vijay is an exceptional doctor. Both of my parents have been under his care for many years, and we couldn't be more grateful. He is knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate. Dr. Vijay patiently listens to and thoroughly answers any questions or concerns brought up by my parents.We trust him completely and know my parents are receiving high-quality care. His genuine care and professionalism are truly appreciated. I highly recommend Dr. Vijay to anyone seeking a dedicated and attentive doctor.Additionally, the office staff and nurses are courteous and always helpful, making every visit a positive experience.

Dr. Vijai is very thorough and actually lets you participate in your care needs and decision making. I never feel like he ignores my concerns and is willing to take the time to explain directions and options of my treatments.

Horrible Doctor
Never had heart issues or concerns before, but according to him I needed to take blood pressure medicine because of my age. Yet again, my BP has been great and it was not an issue during my visit but he said "you have to take some unless you want to die from a heart attack." Very rude and not sympathetic will not come back to him anymore.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Vijai for about 8 years now, as well as my wife, daughter and younger sister. We all completely trust him and we have had nothing but great experiences every time we have needed to see him. Highly recommend him to anyone.
