What Our Patient Says
Dr. Vishad is one of the most professional doctors I’ve ever met. He is a great listener, asks the right questions, and is genuinely concerned about the patient’s well-being. I had been undergoing treatment for rheumatology and immunology for nearly 1.5 years at IRIS and am improving day by day. I was diagnosed with the disease about 5 years back immediately after my daughter was born and was undergoing various treatments including steroids at various hospitals. But after the treatments at IRIS, a long-term work-from-home IT professional is back to daily office routine. I am able to maintain work-life balance with proper and regular medication. The staff at IRIS are friendly and have a good attitude. Thanks much, Doctor and IRIS.
Dr. Vishad Viswanath’s IRIS clinic is a most advanced clinic with good facilities. Dr. himself is very compassionate to his patients and is very dedicated. The entire crew in the clinic is very friendly and is ready to help you enthusiastically. Really happy with the treatments at the Center.
