Write a ReviewI have been dealing with high BP along with occasional chest discomfort. Dr Bijay Kumar Mahala evaluated my heart condition thoroughly and suggested regular monitoring instead of over-treatment. The medication was adjusted slowly over time. My BP is now better controlled, and I feel more comfortable in daily life.
My uncle was admitted after sudden weakness and chest discomfort. Dr Bijay Kumar Mahala handled the case at the hospital. It was a stressful situation for our family, but he quickly stabilised the condition and explained what was happening in simple terms. The initial days in ICU were closely monitored. Gradually, his condition improved, and we were able to move towards discharge.
Another doctor had suggested immediate angiography for my mother, and we were unsure. We met Dr Bijay Kumar Mahala for a second opinion. He carefully reviewed all reports and explained that medication could be tried first in her case. That clarity helped us avoid unnecessary anxiety. With his guidance, her condition has remained stable so far.
I started feeling tightness in my chest while walking short distances, which made me very worried. Dr Bijay Kumar Mahala examined me carefully and immediately advised a few cardiac tests. He explained that it could be related to reduced blood flow and didn’t delay the evaluation. After the reports, he suggested medication and lifestyle changes instead of rushing into procedures. Within a few weeks, I felt more stable and less anxious during daily activities.
My father has been under treatment for a heart condition for several years. We consulted Dr Bijay Kumar Mahala for better long-term management. He reviewed all previous records and adjusted the medication in a very structured way. There was no confusion in his approach, and every step was clearly explained. Over time, my father’s symptoms became more controlled, and regular follow-ups helped us stay confident.
