Dr Vinay Hegde is a fantastic listener. At my last visit, he picked up on my hesitation of a new medication, walked me through the pros and cons, and I will forever be a better person because of his compassion. His nurse (I believe her name was Nancy-she's in the Lodi office) is just a fun personality who is so good at politely extracting medical information for Dr Hegde.

This was my first visit. Dr. Hedge was wonderful. Did not rush me through my appointment. Explained, in detail, what I had going on, and what he felt was the best route of treatment. A very knowledgeable young man.

As might be expected, the Dr. Hegde had no direct knowledge of my medical background and had to refer to charts on computer. He was, however, very attentive and listened to my questions.
