Jaqualine Roberts and Patricia Neal, UK
Cosmetic Surgery
Fortis Hospital
|
|
When Jaqualine Roberts (69) and Patricia Neal (67), both sisters, decided to undergo
cosmetic surgery together, little did they realise their dream would take them to
India , thousands of miles away. Jacky wanted this surgery as her abdomen was scarred
with three abdominal surgeries in last 25 years and Patricia readily agreed to be
her companion in the whole process including getting operated along with. Their
research for cost effective packages led them to India, when they read a story in
'Daily Mail' about a UK nurse, Anne Marie Jones, who traveled to Fortis Hospital,
Mohali, in January 2006 and came back very happy with her Tummy Tuck surgery. Anne
Marie strongly recommended Dr K M Kapoor , Senior Consultant and Head, Department
of Cosmetic Surgery for this job and dispelled all their doubts about travel to
India.
|
|
Both landed in Delhi on 6th November and headed straight to Agra to see the Taj
Mahal. They reached Mohali on 9th November after the brief vacation. They underwent
all the necessary tests and anesthesia evaluation on the same day. The sisters were
originally scheduled for surgery on 10 th and 11 th respectively. But Patricia had
different plans. She insisted that since they were doing everything together, both
of them should be operated on the same day. It was a tough call but Dr K M Kapoor
accepted this challenge. Jaqualine was operated on the morning of 10th November
and Patricia in the afternoon. This is probably first time in the world that two
sisters have undergone same cosmetic surgical procedure on the same day.
|
|
Post operatively, both recovered quickly and were on their feet with support on
the very next day. After 5 days, both were discharged from the hospital. They are
all praise for their doctor, nurses and supporting staff at Fortis Hospital, Mohali.
"Never have we been treated so well at a hospital, anywhere in the world." says
Jaqualine. "The services at FHM are exceptional. We were treated like royalty. So
many people were at our beck and call," gushed Patricia.

Tony Samantha Wildesh, UK
Breast Augmentation
Fortis Hospital
|
|
When a breast augmentation procedure that Tony Samantha Wildesh, a UK based model
underwent at Prague, Czechoslovakia, went wrong, she thought her whole life had
stopped. Calling it one of the worst decisions she had ever made, Tony was keen
to persuade her peers not to go under the knife or have injections.
|
|
"With a bleeding, infected implant, I could have died of septicaemia. Doctors back
home in UK had to perform an emergency procedure to remove the implant from the
right side, leaving me with one breast larger than the other." she remarks.
|
|
After going to many doctors all over, but with little assurance, Tony had just started
to believe that her career had run aground when she was informed of the vast scope
in cosmetic and corrective surgeries that India offers.
|
|
In search of health and beauty, she arrived at Fortis Hospital, Mohali in January,
with skewed breasts. A corrective surgery by Dr. KM Kapoor, Senior Cosmetic Surgeon,
did not only help her regain her shattered self-confidence, but also her career
as a glamour model set soaring, post augmentation.
|
|
Back at Fortis Hospital, Mohali for another 'breast job', Tony's echoes the sentiments
of many as she says "Everybody has the right to look and feel beautiful, and if
it is only about a nip here and a tuck there, why not!" She didn't miss the opportunity
to get Botox shots to smooth fine lines from her face at a Botox party organized
at Fortis.
|
|
Tony calls Dr Kapoor her guardian angel. "FHM is a world-class hospital and Dr Kapoor
is one of the best cosmetic surgeons I have met, and believe me I have met a number
of them", she says.
|
|
Oozing with confidence, Tony adds that she would not hesitate to be back again for
new cosmetic procedures, as and when the need be.

Benjamin Thomas Corp, UK
Hi-end Root Canal Treatment, Cosmetic Restoration and Dental Implants
Fortis Hospital
|
|
He arrived in India on 18th November and was brought to FHVK, straight away. Then
the Dentistry Department, which is headed by Dr. P. Miglani, took over. On the same
day his complete oral examination and investigative procedures including OPG and
X-rays were done. The next day treatment started with a complete oral prophyloxis.
The next step was to remove the buried roots and teeth, bone grafting and placement
of immediate loading implants. After this there was single sitting Root Canal treatment
on three of his teeth by the Endodontist. Then the cosmetic restoration was started.
The Prosthodontist started crown preparations of fine teeth and placement of temporary
crowns. Within three days the permanent crowns were fitted and he left for London
on 26th November. He will be returning to India after three months for placement
of final prostheris on his implants. He was extremely happy with the treatment he
got here.
|
|
Mr. Benjamin Thomas Corp had a long list of procedures that needed urgent treatment:
Implants-6 Nos, Crowns-14 Nos, Root Canal Treatment - 5 Nos but due to prohibitive
costs in the UK, he was looking out for an alternative treatment destination.
|
|
Mr. Benjamin arrived at the Dental Centre of Fortis Flt. Lt. Rajan Dhall Hospital
on 18th November 2006 straight from the Airport. Dr Pravesh Miglani, Head of the
Centre, on the same day did his complete oral examination and investigative procedures
including OPG and X-rays.
|
|
From next day onwards, his treatment started with complete oral prophyloxis, removal
of the buried roots and teeth, bone grafting, placement of immediate loading implants.
Then, there was single sitting Root Canal treatment on three of his teeth by the
Endodontist besides Cosmetic restoration and fitting of permanent Crowns.
|
|
Mr Benjamin said while leaving the Dental Centre" I am very impressed by the quality
of materials used." He flew back on 26th November 2006.
|
|
Mr Benjamin would be returning back to the Dental Centre after three months for
placement of the final prosthesis on his Implants, all at the costs of 1/3rd that
he would have paid back home.

Henry Stevens, UK
Birmingham Hip Resurfacing
Wockhardt Hospitals
|
|
The main objective of our visit here was to get the best possible medical attention
which means the best possible surgeon and the best possible nursing, physio-rehab
and overall hospital care. The second requirement was to find the best medical services
at a cost we could afford. Thirdly, we needed to schedule the procedure for a very
specific time - the time between the two polo seasons: October.
|
|
All of the medical attention received has exceeded our expectations. Dr. Malhan
is not only the skilled surgeon we knew he would be, but he instills in us total
confidence and also has a personality (and a sense of humor) to delight. We are
blessed with him. We are very thankful to Planet Hospital who introduced us to the
expertise offered at the Wockhardt Bone & Joint Speciality Hospital.
|
|
The nursing staff - Gayathri and our afternoon/evening nurse especially - have been
extraordinary. We also believe that the physiotherapist, "Ritu" is very, very good
not only as a physiotherapist, but also she is a very special person - she has precisely
the kind of sophisticated personality to "manage" the kind of international patients
like Henry.

Margaret Mason
Knee Resurfacing, USA
Wockhardt Hospitals
|
|
I arrived in Mumbai very early A.M. of September 21. We were met at the airport
brought directly to the hospital. All investigations were done promptly and professionally.
The nursing care is excellent, genuinely very gentle, caring and professional nurses.
They certainly made sure I was pain free, for the first few days post-op especially.
The bed baths and back rubs-WOW!
|
|
Where I needed to use the call bell, it was answered very quickly. Dietary and all
other support staff is kind and caring as well. I take home with me very pleasant
memories of my care at Wockhardt. I have no pain, no limp and await being on my
again. I thank you.
|
|
My husband stayed in the room with me. Our room was cleaned every day .Everyone
from this department who cared for us did so, ever so pleasantly and professionally.
Highest regards and many thanks.

Judy Sandra Olsen, Canada
Total Knee Replacement
Wockhardt Hospitals
|
|
I have had knee problems since I was in 20's. I have had years of physio and using
ice pads. I had a very bad fall three years ago and should have had a MRI done at
that time but let it go. On July 06 I went out on a friend's new boat for a week,
it had a problem with the water intake valve and the bathroom would flood. So my
girlfriend and I took turns going up and down the stairs every 15 minutes to check
so it would not flood.
|
|
By the end of 5the day I was in so much in pain I could hardly move. In Canada it
takes months to see a specialist so I paid for a MRI to speed up the process. On
Oct 4th I was told I needed a new knee and the waiting time was one year.
|
|
So I heard about Surgical Tourism and we came to an agreement on a package to come
to India. On Oct 19th I was on my way and I think it was the best thing I have ever
done.
|
|
The surgeon is the best, he completely checked me out with new X-rays, MRI and echo
cardiogram before surgery. The Staff here are very helpful in every way. Everyone
wants to make sure you are happy and comfortable. If my right knee even needs to
be replaced I will come back here for the surgery.

David Watson, UK
Revision Total Knee Replacement
Wockhardt Hospitals
|
|
I would just like to thank everyone at the Wockhardt hospitals for making my stay
a very good one.
|
|
From when I arrived at the airport to leaving 13 days later, I never had one complaint.
The surgeon was reassuring and looked after me well. From the best of the staff,
from the top nurses all the way down to the guys who cleaned the room it was all
done well and me feel comfortable.
|
|
The food was very good and I had no complaints there either.
|
|
If anyone in the UK was thinking of having surgery in India and was worried or apprehensive
about it, dont be. You will be looked after very well.
|
|
I must say a special thank you to the administration staff, all helped me with my
needs on a daily basis.

Mr. Warren Miller, Australia
Knee Surgery
Fortis Hospital
|
|
Mr. Warren Miller already had one of his knees operated in Australia; however, he
had to wait almost three years for his turn to come.
|
|
Mr. Miller wanted to get the other knee operated as well. For the knee operated
here, he had a choice Fortis Healthcare Ltd. and Hospitals in Thailand. The decision
of choosing Fortis Healthcare Limited was made because of the orthopedic surgeon
and the cost.
|
|
Accompanied by his wife, Wendy Miller, they reached Fortis Hospital Noida even though
their town was hit by "Cyclone Larry" on their day of departure.
|
|
After the operation Mr. Miller said "Dr. Ashok Rajgopal had done a marvellous job
and I have little pain and excellent recovery. Within a week I'm planning a trip
to see the Taj Mahal in Agra" The Physiotherapist have speeded up my recovery. The
resident doctors were regular in their visits and medicines were on time. Everyone
was so friendly and helpful" he said. Mr Miller was amazed that within a week he
was able to walk properly.
