Doctors, Hospital & Medical in Vrindavana Doctors
in Vrindavan A fairly reliable western doctor is Doctor Nangia (442-418, 442-531), who is located near the Loi Bazaar post office, across from Mahesh cloth shop. He is open from 9.30 am to 1 pm and 5 to 8 pm, except Wednesday. He makes house calls for Rs 125. I have been told he does not have a real medical degree, but I know of several people (including myself) who have been treated by him and he has helped them. If you have jaundice (hepatitis) there is a good doctor in downtown Vrindavana who is the son of Shyamasakhi. He treats you by first giving you a bath and rubbing you with tree bark. The water will turn yellow if you have jaundice. The worst the jaundice, the more yellow the water will be. He then gives you some medicine to take. You then have to return for more baths. You can ask the rickshaw-walas outside the ISKCON Temple to bring you to Shyamasakhi, as many of them know how to get there. His house is down a side street right next to the STD phones, on the road between Banke Bihari Temple and Loi Bazaar (Bhankandi Bazaar). Across the street from the ISKCON temple at the pharmacy, Dr. Guptaji prescribes Ayurvedic medicines that I have found to be helpful with basic ailments, such as infections, cuts and basic stomach disorders. For a long-term illness I recommend going to Delhi and seeing Dr Triguna or going to the Tibetan Clinic. Both places have been given good recommendation for being effective. For any long-term illnesses I highly recommend that you consider going to see Dr Triguna in Delhi. He is one of the best Ayurvedic doctors in India, if not the best. WARNING! Often doctors in Vrindavan try to convince foreigners to get expensive long-term treatment for stomach, liver and other disorders, that they do not need. It is a good idea to get a second opinion before buying expensive medicine. Hospitals Rama Krishna Hospital (442-310), Mathura Road, near the bus stand. It is open 7 to 11 am except Wednesday. Visiting hours are supposed to be 5 to 7 pm from April to Sept. and 4 to 6 pm from October to March. Methodist Hospital is located just outside of Mathura, on the road between Vrindavana and Mathura. If there is a serious illness it is highly suggested to go to a hospital in Delhi, and not waste you time with the local hospital. Recommended is Apollo Hospital, which is located just outside of Delhi on the Mathura to Delhi Road. Medical
Shops There is a medical shop directly across from the ISKCON temple. If you just came out of the main entrance of the temple onto the street the shop is on your right, about five shops down. They have both western and Ayurvedic medicines. There is also an Ayurvedic doctor, Dr. Gupta, who comes there in the evening. As it is a small shop, many times they do not have certain medicines. They can usually get the medicine the next day, if you inform them what you want, but they often do not get the medicines that you order. If you order something from them and they do not get it the next day I would suggest that you go to one of the shops downtown, which usually have a much larger selection. Often this shop is more expensive than shops in downtown Vrindavana. There is a well-supplied medical shop at the end of Loi Bazaar, at the turnoff to the Banke Bihari temple called Gupta Medical Shop. Dr Gupta, who is an Ayurvedic doctor, speaks good English and is helpful. It is across the street from the Bankhandi Mahadeva temple. There is a medical shop right next to Dr Nangia clinic in Loi Bazaar.
