Meet The Neurologist
Dr. Vinod Rai - MBBS, MD (MEDICINE) & DM (NEUROLOGY)
Dr. Vinod Rai is a best neurologist in indore with sharp clinical acumen to deal with complex neurological disorders. Being trained from top medical institute of India (All India Institute of Medical Science, Delhi), he has vast experience of treating most difficult cases referred from all over India.
In addition to diagnostic capabilities his respectful behavior, caring nature and willingness to listen has made him popular among patients. After practicing for more than 5 years in Delhi, he shifted back to home town Indore. He is serving as consultant neurologist in Choithram Hospital & Research Centre for more than 3 years.
I am suffering from mysethnia Garavince disease. I have taken treatment from Rai sir and now I am fine . he is best neurologist in Indore and his behaviour is very polite and helpful .Many many thanks sir🙂
He is so nice and behavior of doctors are genuine the treatment are very nice and he is supportive doctors the nature are so goodDr. treat everyone like family member he is such a like god...They treat my mother like his mother..Super Doctor like family member
I took my mother for the checkup and he Is surely the best of his field that way he listenes to every patient so calmly is what we need in a doctor and medicine were also very effective.
Dr. Vinod Rai sir is one of the best neurologist in indore.I was suffering from Acute Migraine. I used to suffer very high migraine attacks continuously for 12-14 hours a day.Previously it was 5-6 hours a day but then it increased more so I went to 1-2 neurologist doctors but I didn't get correct treatment from them and my condition was getting worse day by day.I decided to leave my job due to this disease and then I took 1 month break from my job and I went to Mr. Vinod Rai sir.After meeting him, my confidence got increased and he told me that from initial 1st month my migraine attack will decrease but I didn't believe on him but today after 8 months after taking his proper treatment I am completely fine, and I dropped my decision for leaving the job.He is very polite in nature and listens your all problems very patiently.As people say that doctors are God and today I believe on this quote since it has been proved after meeting with him.
Dr. Vinod Rai is said to be one of the best neurologists in Indore and I second that completely because of many factors. Starting with the fact that one always wants a doctor who listens to all their problems patiently...tells you how the problem is occurring and what is its solution...he believes in complete transparency as he even explains the components of the medicines he is giving which gives you a definite sense of belief and confidence...his diagnosis is always in the right direction...he is amongst those rare doctors who believes in giving minimum medicines to his patients...not at all believes in doing unnecessary tests...would only tell them to do it if they are much needful...he is such a kind doctor that when you even speak to him you get a sense of positivity to fight through the issues that you are going through...I have suffered with post covid encaphalitis myself which is one of a very rare neuro condition and he is the one who has saved me and has given me a new life. I can never thank him enough for it...I will just say that if there is anyone who has neuro issues I would definitely recommend his name...he is very honest, genuine and dedicated to both his work and patients. Hope that we get to see more such doctors and also a kind human which is very rare in today's times.
