Shrey got lots of help and love from Rajul madam and her team. He becomes happy on every Sunday as all of us meet at center as family members. They all are giving him love. So much change has come in Shrey that no one can tell he was such a problem child. Now Dr. Rajul Vasa has also told us he is not C.P. child anymore and soon he will be able to walk and go to school like other normal children.

According to what I have personally experienced, the doctors world over have been treating the various problems of children separately.  Somebody is treating epileptic attacks, somebody else is treating contractures, somebody is treating foot drop, somebody is treating constipation, etc, etc, so overall everybody is interested in maintaining the queue in their waiting rooms and then we need not guess what happens to the child. Nowadays even after charging high fees, doctors do not pay enough attention towards their patients. I personally feel that every child visiting Dr. Rajul Vasa is very lucky and definitely finds change which around ten ten years u will not find with any other therapy. Today every child visiting Dr. Vasa is very happy and so are their parents.

Shrey is improving day by day and our efforts are being rewarded, complete credit goes to Dr. Rajul Vasa. It would have been very difficult for us to walk through this path of life without Rajul madam.

Dr. Vasa motivated us and we went on doing exactly what she said and have reached till here and we are sure we will achieve our destination soon.

I will pray God that all children in the world get better through Dr. Rajul Vasa madam and  flourish.

The most beautiful garden in the world will be of “Dr. Rajul Vasa” Madam.
