About Us, Doctors & Technology | Netrayu Eyeurvedics Hospital

Our story

Patients should not have to choose

Dr. Hemkant Baviskar founded Netrayu Eyeurvedics Hospital & Research Centre in Jalgaon in 1996 on a simple belief: people should not have to choose between modern eye care and Ayurveda, or carry messages between doctors who never meet.

Three decades on, eye surgeons, optometrists, Ayurvedic physicians, Panchakarma consultants and therapists work side by side — sharing one record for every patient, agreeing one plan, and measuring the results together. Netrayu also trains Ayurvedic doctors in Netra Chikitsa, and holds free eye check-up camps every year for people in remote villages.

Our emblem places a meditating figure inside the iris, beneath a golden brow — calm, clear sight, the balance we aim for in every patient.

Safety first

A surgical safety checklist — consent, sign-in and time-out — at every operation, and the right patient confirmed at every step.

Measured outcomes

Symptoms graded and vision recorded at every visit, so progress is shown, not assumed.

Honest advice

Every option, its benefits and its costs explained before you decide — including when no treatment is needed.

Respect for tradition

Classical Ayurvedic therapies performed as the texts describe, by trained therapists, in dedicated rooms.

Our doctors

One team, both sciences

Your care is led by a team with more than 25 years of integrated eye care, supported by optometrists, nurses, Panchakarma therapists and a coordinator for international patients.
