    Dr. Jaligam is literally the best doctor out there. This is the first time I meet a doctor that has truly made me feel like they really care. He is so different than the other doctors I’ve seen all across Virginia and I have never seen a doctor truly take their time with their patient and explain everything in full clear detail. He’s so sweet, comforting, respectful and caring, he treats his patients just like his family. I never trusted a doctor like I trust Dr. Jaligam, he is truly amazing. I totally recommend, don’t even think twice. Thank you for all you do Dr. Jaligam!

A History of Compassionate Care

When Dr. Vijay Jaligam was in the 10th grade, he witnessed something amazing: his friend, who’d contracted rabies from a dog bite, started healing within three days of receiving therapy. It was this kind of healing transformation that captured his interest and eventually led him into medicine.

After completing his education in cardiology, he went on to start a free clinic in India, offering vaccinations and other vital health services to those in need. Upon his move to the United States, he spent time working with displaced patients in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, where he continued to pour compassion and support into the people who needed it most.

Channeling both traditional and holistic methods of care, Dr. Vijay’s vision for founding Jaggu Health in Vienna was to create a space where all patients felt their overall wellness and longevity were at the forefront of every visit. He envisioned a healthcare destination that took the time to truly listen to patients, and address the root cause of their concerns—rather than just mitigating their symptoms.
