Education and Training
Dr. Vijay started out as a medical practitioner with an MBBS from Rajasthan University of Health Sciences, Jaipur, in 2001. His passion for surgical finesse made him pursue an MS in General Surgery at the same university in 2005. To specialize further, he obtained an MCh in Urology from West Bengal State University in 2010—a course renowned for churning out some of the best technically proficient urologists in the country.
This firm academic groundwork has been at the forefront of his practice, allowing him to conduct both routine and complicated procedures with complete confidence.

Dr. Vijay specializes in a broad array of urological and general surgical issues. His specializations include:
- Urological procedures (open and minimal access)
- Prostate operations, including laser prostatectomy
- Circumcision, including stapler method
- Kidney and bladder-related procedures
- Outpatient follow-up minor surgical procedures
- Patients usually come to him for second opinions if other treatments have yielded no results.
- "A lot of people silently suffer with urological symptoms," Dr. Vijay explained during a local health talk. "My role is to provide clarity, comfort, and the best care possible—with no unnecessary procedures being pushed."

- Open Prostatectomy
- Laser Prostatectomy

His calm and clear-cut explanations enable patients to have a clearer perception of the extent of their condition and the logic behind every step of treatment.
Experience and Reputation
Having practiced for over two decades both in surgery and urology, Dr. Vijay integrates the finesse of surgery and profound urological understanding. Such a combination of skills makes him exceptionally good in diagnosing concomitant issues, e.g., prostate disorders impacting bladder function or bladder dysfunction caused by prostate disease.He is also a member of the Indian Medical Association (IMA), which maintains his affiliation with current medical news and professional guidelines.
Fellow colleagues comment on his unobtrusive yet firm guidance during operations. Patients report him as a physician who "won't scare you into surgery" and provides choices with transparency and clarity.
Dr. Vijay does believe in conservative treatment when that is what is best. Not all cases require surgery—and he makes that explicitly clear from the initial appointment.
One patient wrote in an online review:
- "Dr. Vijay explained my condition better than any doctor I had ever seen. He did not rush. He explained the difference between laser and open surgery to me and led me toward what actually was best for me—not what everyone is doing now."
- That amount of honesty and communication has served to build long-term trust among his patients.
