Doctors in Vrindavana

There is an Ayurvedic doctor named Kaviraj Partap Singh who comes to the ISKCON Temple every Sunday, 10 am – 4 pm. He treats people in an office in the Gurukula building. Another Ayurvedic doctor is Dr. Narottama Lal Gupta in Bhankandi Bazaar. A good western doctor is Dr. Nangia, who is located near the Loi Bazaar post office. A good doctor if you have jaundice is the son of Syamasakhi. His house is on a side street of the road between Banke Bihari and Loi Bazaar (Bhankandi Bazaar). For any long-term illness I recommend that you see Dr. Triguna in Delhi. He is one of the best Ayurvedic doctors in India, if not the best.

There are two hospitals in Vrindavana: Saraf Hospital and Rama Krishna Hospital. In an emergency they will definitely do. The Methodist Hospital in Mathura is better than these two. If there is a serious illness it is suggested that you go to a hospital in Delhi, where the doctors can often be excellent.
