"Dr. Vijay Laxmi Misra is the best GI doctor in Bloomington, IL. She immediately detected my Gastro problem as irritable bowel syndrome and prescribed the medicine after which my Gastro problem (irritable bowel syndrome) never came back. Dr. Misra also performed colonoscopy on my GI tract which was a painless procedure. After the clean colonoscopy I felt relieved. She also referred me to another doctor in Columbus Ohio where I was prescribed anti-depressant medication after which I felt relieved. All thanks to Dr. Vijay Laxmi Misra and I wish her all the best."

So I was wary going into my appointment with Dr. Mizra. Within this one appointment I felt more valued, heard, and cared for than the other 3 appts combined.
