About : Dr. Vivek Kaduskar


I am practising independantly as GP since 2001. Apart from my clinics, I also provide my services at my residence clinic and through home visits. But no emergency services. I apply my best knowledge and experience of this field to improve and maintain the quality of life of my customers (patients). This is a service industry, so I have to address the need of my patients and guide them honestly for their safety and good health. My other objective is also to fulfill the needs of my family, so I have to charge reasonably to all the services provided by me.

I do provide home visit services for my patients but as the distance between both of my clinics is > 10 kms, I cannot provide immediate services all the time. So, I have decided to provide home visits for Non emergency calls only.

My patients are from all the religions & casts (Hindu, Muslims, Jains, Parsi, Sikh, Sindhis, etc) and also from all economical class. I had purchased a GP software in 2005 to keep the records of my patients and their treatment and I am using it since then. I have database of more than 8000 patients at clinic 1 and more than 2000 patients at clinic 2.

What does a GP or ‘Family Practice Physician’ do?

In the modern world, family doctors provide the majority of care for people of all backgrounds. Often called general practitioners or primary care physicians, family doctors create relationships with and serve entire families. This type of practice is a medical specialty devoted to comprehensive health care and is based on knowledge of the patient and his or her family history. A family practice physician performs many duties for patients of all ages, such as providing continuing healthcare for acute and chronic illnesses as well as emphasizing disease prevention.

Taking care of the physical, emotional and mental health of patients and their families is the main goal of family practice physicians. These doctors typically are trained in all areas of medicine and have the ability to diagnose and treat a wide variety of symptoms and problems. They also provide preventative care, which includes routine checkups, immunizations, screening tests, health risk assessments and suggestions on how to make healthy lifestyle choices. Some of these doctors even deliver babies. When a family practice physician identifies a major health issue, he or she usually refers his patient to a specialist.

The typical educational background and training for a family practice physician includes an undergraduate degree like MBBS, BHMS (Homeopath), BAMS (Ayurved) or BUMS (Unanai) in India. Most doctors of this type continue to educate themselves to learn the current trends in treatment and technologies as well as the latest medical breakthroughs. Most family doctors usually practice in small-group private practices, solo or in hospital practices. They often have long workdays, filled with a stream of incoming patients.

1) Clinic 1: Bhullabhai Park clinic :

This clinic is near Kankaria football ground near Geetamandir road. This clinic was established by Dr. A.B. Vyas (Dr. Ambalal B. Vyas) in 1963. He practised uptil 2001 and then retired. I purchased this clinic from him with full "Goodwill & practice". I am practicing in this clinic since 6th June 2001. It's near to S.T. bus stand and betweet Kalupur & Maninagar railway stations. It is very conveniently located in the city area easily approachable from all the areas. It's walking distance from Bhullabhai park BRTS bus stand. My wife joined me here from 2003. She practiced as my assistant here till 2008 but now she only provides her services at our Satellite clinic.

2) Clinic 2: Satellite clinic Or Home clinic :

We have started a second clinic in Satellite area in Aug 2005. Initially that was in Anandnagar area, near Seema Hall. That was 1 km from my residence that is at Prahladnagar garden. So, people also started coming to our residence whenever I wasn't available at Satellite clinic. So, after 4-5 year we shifted our clinic to our residence to save time and provide better services. So, now we call it Home clinic OR Satellite Clinic. We constructed a ground floor consulting room to provide dedicated space at our bunglow to give privacy to my patients as well as my family too. Here my wife also provides "Homeopathic consulting and treatment" besides taking care of my family.
