Write a ReviewDr. Viraj ne targeted therapy se mere bhai ka lung cancer control mein la diya. Amazing approach and care!
લંગ કેન્સર માટેનો તેમની સારવારનો અનુભવ ખરેખર ઉત્તમ છે.
Bilkul genuine doctor, har patient ke saath personal touch rakhte hain.
ऑन्कोलॉजी में उनका अनुभव कमाल का है, दिल से धन्यवाद।
I trust Dr. Viraj Lavingia completely. His targeted therapy approach helped my cousin Ananya beat breast cancer with minimal side effects.
ડૉ. વિરાજ લવિંગિયાએ મારી બહેનના સ્તન કેન્સર માટે ઇમ્યુનોથેરાપી ખૂબ કાળજીપૂર્વક કરી. હવે સંપૂર્ણ ઠીક છે.
मेरे पति को लिंफोमा था। हम बहुत डर गए थे, लेकिन डॉ. विराज लविंगिया ने पूरी कीमोथेरैपी का प्लान समझाया और हर साइड इफेक्ट को संभाला। उनका शांत और सकारात्मक रवैया हमें ताकत देता रहा। आज रिपोर्ट्स क्लीन हैं। सच में वो मरीज और परिवार दोनों को भरोसा देना जानते हैं।
Best oncologist. Guided us brilliantly through lung cancer treatment.
મારા પિતા અરુણભાઇને બ્લડ કેન્સર ડાયગ્નોઝ થયો ત્યારે આખું ઘર તૂટી ગયું હતું. ડૉ. વિરાજ લવિંગિયા મળ્યા પછી આશા જાગી. તેમણે કીમોથેરાપીનો દરેક સ્ટેપ સમજાવ્યો, સાઇડ ઇફેક્ટ પણ સંભાળ્યા. પિતાજીનો આત્મવિશ્વાસ પાછો આવ્યો છે. હવે તેઓ ફરી નોર્મલ જીવન જીવી રહ્યા છે. ડૉક્ટર સાહેબે અમને નવી જિંદગી આપી.
Bilkul genuine doctor, har patient ke saath personal touch rakhte hain.
डॉ. विराज लविंगिया ने मेरी माँ की ब्रेस्ट कैंसर की इम्यूनोथेरैपी बहुत ध्यान से की। पूरी तरह ठीक हो गईं।
When my father was diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer, we were shattered. Meeting Dr. Viraj Lavingia changed everything. He patiently explained every step of the chemotherapy plan, handled complications with calmness, and kept my dad’s spirits high. Today, he’s back on his feet. Can’t thank enough to the best cancer doctor in Ahmedabad for giving us hope.
