The doctor's explanation of the health condition was simple enough so that even a child could understand it.

Everyone on the Heart Failure team is amazing!

Dr Vjay is the greatest

I was confused regarding appointment time and arrived 30 minutes late for appointment however Dr. Vijay most graciously still agreed to see me and spent much time with me and my husband explaining in easy to understand and in much detail all aspects of my medical problems and possible treatments. I am very grateful for the time he spent with us today answering all our questions and concerns.

I am extremely pleased with the care shown me ever time I am at Froedtert and especially Dr. Vija my heart surgeon

Cannot complain about anything p00r

My questions were answered before l could ask them. Everyone was very high standard.

Amazing team from the medical assistant to nurses to cardiac surgeons. I feel in great hands! Thank you all who spent time with me.

Dr. VeeJay was very attentive and explained my issues very well.

Wonderful visit from start to finish. Couldn't have asked for anything else.

Thank you

Dr. V.J. Is a wonderful doctor. He listens, and really helps. Could not ask for a better doctor.

I will be recommending this physician to other. He is excellent (even though I can't pronounce his name)!
