Dr. V is incredible. He is thorough, thoughtful, kind, gentle, and incredibly skilled. We have always felt comfortable and safe having our son in his hands. He is a great teacher and explains things to us patiently, thoroughly, and in a way we can understand. He really does go above and beyond, I'm so grateful for him.

I am very grateful for helping my child. The surgeons did a great job with him. My son came out fine from everything. I am grateful to their entire team and to everyone who cared for my child.

Dr. Vachhrajani is a wonderful physician who carefully explained the MRI results to my son, husband and I. He further took the time to explain his thought process with regards to possible diagnosis and further testing required. In a time of rushed medicine and need to see patients to be productive, it was refreshing to hear a physician truly communicate with a patient and family. He was vested in our son's problem, and is working diligently to help determine what is going on. I cannot give him enough accolades, but he can take care of my family any day. He is the epitome of what a physician is. Kudos to Dayton Children's for bringing him on board!
