Our 8-year-old daughter had been having mysterious seizures for months. Multiple doctors couldn't figure it out.

Came for what I thought would be a routine migraine consultation. Dr. Vijay noticed subtle coordination issues others had missed. MRI revealed a small benign tumor. His surgical precision was incredible - minimally invasive approach left barely any scar. Back to work in 10 days!

Flew from Dubai specifically for Dr. Vijay's opinion on my wife's complex Parkinson's case. His multidisciplinary approach combining new medication protocols with deep brain stimulation assessment was comprehensive. The way he explained the neural pathways using 3D models was mind-blowing.

Rushed my 72-year-old father to MIOT after he suddenly couldn't speak or move his right side. Dr. Vijay Shanmugam was at the ER within minutes, diagnosed a stroke, and performed emergency thrombectomy. His calm demeanor kept us sane during the crisis. Dad's now recovering his speech and movement - nothing short of miraculous.
