Mary Z.(USA) – Health Check

Dear Dr. Shah,

Thank you again for your kindness in setting up our medical check up at the Apollo Hospital, Chennai. We were well-cared for throughout and are happy with the results (on both the reporting and our actual state of health). We are safely home after a long temple tour of South India. It was especially comforting to have a car pick us up since we were a little travel shocked. Thank you for your many e-mails to answer questions and make sure we were on-track. I would recommend this service to anyone who wishes comprehensive, easy and inexpensive health analysis. We are grateful.

Bob Gallagher, UK (Open heart surgery), Mumbai, India - As featured in the Sunday Times

Bob Gallagher went to India for cardiac ablation through The Medical Tourist Company. Cardiac ablation costs £2,000 in India rather than £12,000 in the UK. Whilst in India, the surgeons discovered a problem that went undetected in the UK. He went on to have successful open heart surgery in India and return to the UK thoroughly satisifed. Here are his comments:

From first contact to hospital reception took just a few days with visas in place and hospital on standby. Professional and efficient are good descriptions of The Medical Tourist Company, but what did it for me is - friendly. This also best describes the staff at the hospital in Mumbai where I went for heart surgery. I could not have been in better hands. The hospital is a three year old, 5-star example of what you would like to think all hospitals should be. Their heart facilities are first-class and the surgeons are rated second to non by their professional colleagues. I could not have placed my well-being in the care of more considerate and competent people.

Paul Webster and Dawn Webster, Wales (Hip replacement), Chennai, India

We are very pleased with the assistance you have given us throughout. From first making contact with you, all our questions were answered promptly and thoroughly. When considering the big step of travelling abroad for treatment, it was most reassuring to have someone at hand who could either phone or email immediate replies to the many queries we had before making the decision to go ahead. Once we had made this decision, you immediately arranged everything with the hospital, arranged visas for us and we were off within days. We appreciated you meeting us at the hotel before we left London - it was good to put a face to the person we had been corresponding with so frequently!

Thank you so much for all your help!

Larry Cruse, USA (Heart Surgery), Mumbai, India

I am a 62 year old man who has been suffering from chest pain after undergoing heart bypass surgery in the Summer of 2004. After a CT scan I was told that the upper portion of my sternum had not mended and I would need additional surgery that I could not afford. Being without insurance, I was almost broke. Then almost by accident, I heard about The Medical Tourist Company, and contacted them via email. I have to admit I was apprehensive, but after several emails and a few phone calls from Dr Shah, off I went to India. The treatment I received at the hospital from both nurses and the doctors far exceeds anything I could have imagined. Call it first-class, top notch or just plain wonderful. If you need surgery and are without insurance, check with Dr Shah, you won't be sorry. Today, I am pain-free for the first time in over two years, thanks in part to the help of Dr Shah and The Medical Tourist Company.

Stefan Brodowski, UK (Dental Treatment), Poland

Stefan Brodowski recently went to Poland for dental treatment. Hree are his comments:

Hello Dr Shah,

Everything went perfectly, the clinic was excellent and the staff were superb. I had quite a lot of work done that I wasn't expecting (nine fillings in all) but my teeth feel better than they have done in years.

Thanks for the recommendation and if I feel I need to return in the future I will be in touch.

Kind regards,

Stefan Brodowski

Kathleen Temple, USA (Hip Replacement), Mumbai, India

Your services are very good. You were very good at keeping in touch. I really appreciated your constant support. The hospital was clean and very acceptable. The nurses were exceptional. My experience at the hospital was better than I could have expected. I have told everyone of my wonderful experience in India and the care that I received. I would recommend The Medical Tourist Company to anyone. You were always keeping in contact with me. This meant so much to me being in a foreign country.

Thank you for everything.

Anthony Rato, Kenya (Triple By-pass Surgery), Mumbai, India

Thank you very much for the excellent arrangements that the Medical Tourist Company undertook for my open heart surgery at Asian Heart Institute, India. I am happy to say the operation was a big success and now I am doing very well due to your well organized service provided to me.

Dear Dr. Shah,

Thank you very much! My trip and treatment were a great success. Your services were amazingly smooth, and I am very pleased. Actually after all of the emails before the trip, I felt no worries so the trip was much as expected. You can rest assured that the hospital group is a fantastic company of people, and they were all very professional and courteous.

Thank you very much,

Mr M Ruparelia, UK (Dental treatment), Mumbai, India

Great holiday in India and the dental treatment was great too. Dr.Kankaria was really good as was the actual clinic itself. I would definitely use him and your services again.

Kind regards,

Mr Ruparelia

Peter Booth (Age 63) UK (Weight loss reduction programme), Mumbai, India

Dear Medical Tourist Company.

I would like to thank you for getting my visa in such a short time (2 days) and your help with everything. I was most impressed with everything, all the things you told me very understated as I received much more. I was VERY sceptical that the treatment would be delivered as you had said. It was indeed 5 star. I had all consultants working for me not only on gastric but everything else. Things that were thought wrong proved , with investigation were actually wrong. As a result my tablets were changed and have improved my asthma and the heart problem. With proper medical investigation it was proved I did not have a problem. I had been waiting for 12 months in England for this investigation.

I was looked after by a International patient executive called Roma, who explained everything, and after every meeting with Doctor she would come to my room and ask if everything was clear, if not she would sort things. I am still it touch with the Hospital and they are looking after my treatment, which is going better than expected.

After long consultations with the Doctors it was decided that the operation could be put on hold to see if my new regime would in fact cure the problem, and so far everything is fine. I was grateful to the Hospital for returning the operation money. I recommend your services to anyone and would answer any questions from your clients.

Thanks again.

Mike Cooke, UK (Heart care) Mumbai, India - Aa featured on BBC News

I have just returned from India after a heart operation. The Medical Tourist Company recommended a specialist hospital in Mumbai and not only did they make all the arrangements for me, arranged visas, a car to collect me from the airport, but they also put me in touch with the surgeon who would perform the operation and sent me his full CV. I even spoke to the surgeon before leaving. Everything went exactly as arranged. The hospital was fantastic, like a 5 star hotel with service to match, the staff and doctors second to none.

Operation over, the hospital and The Medical Tourist Company arranged a short holiday to Goa for me and my partner and kept in contact all the time. I never felt alone through all this and feel very lucky to have found the Medical Tourist Company. They even sent representatives to visit each day. My total bill was about a quarter of the UK projected cost.

I heartily (forgive the pun) recommend the Medical Tourist Company and welcome any questions from prospective medical tourists.

William Gohlke, United States of America (Hip resurfacing, angioplasty, cataract removal)

William contacted The Medical Tourist Company in search of medical treatment abroad due to the high cost of treatment in the United States. Within three weeks of his enquiry, The Medical Tourist Company arranged for him to be treated at a mulitspeciality hospital in India. He successfully underwent hip resurfacing, angioplasty and bilateral cataract surgery. Here is William’s comments following his treatment:

Dear Mr. Shah,

Thank You for the follow up on my health. I am doing just fine. As far as the questions go that you asked me, You couldn't have done better with your service. I am thoroughly satisfied. Your service and price is far better than any service that I have seen in the United States.

Thanks Again!

R. Sheth, UK (Executive health check up), Mumbai, India

The Medical Tourist Company organsied a preventative health check up for Mr Sheth during a recent trip to Mumbai, here is his feedback:

Thank you for everything!!! You were fantastic, friendly and professional in planning and coordinating the check-up, leaving me to enjoy my holiday. The facilities were modern and great value for money.

M K, India (Heart care), Mumbai, India

Dear Dr Shah, Thank you for fixing up the appointment with Dr Vaishnav. He had conducted a thorough check up and advised to undergo a Stress Eco Test. this test was done yesterday and found to be completely normal. The doctor will send you a message. Thank you for fixing up the appointment with such a wonderful doctor. He was very nice and patient in listening to the problems. Thank you once again for taking personal interest and for spending so much time in calling up the doctors and also for passing on the messages to Mr Anthony.

Best regards,

Norman Tilly, UK (Prostate)

Norman was looking to go to India for a specialist surgery. He contacted The Medical Tourist Company, who researched into the possibility of having this special type of surgery carried out in India. Following extensive research and correspondence with its partner hospitals it became apparent that this surgery could not be performed in India but an alternative method was available at another hospital. The Medical Tourist Company carried out an audit of the facilities and concluded that the hospital was not of International standard and advised Mr. Tilly against the treatment. Mr. Tilly went on to have the surgery in Spain, here were his comments:

May I take this opportunity to thank you for all the effort you have put in on my behalf thank you once again.

Mr. H Patel, London, UK (Second medical opinion), Mumbai, India

I had been suffering from a hip condition for quite some time. After seeking consultation and advice from doctors in London, Switzerland and the USA, I was receiving conflicting medical advice.

I contacted The Medical Tourist Company who arranged a second medical opinion for me from one of its partnering hospitals. They arranged all the paper work, ensuring that all relevant medical reports were sent to the hospital in India.

After receiving contradictory advice from previous consultations, I was pleasantly surprised on the second medical opinion given to me by the doctor in India. They gave me a clear and comprehensive medical opinion on my condition. I would like to thank The Medical Tourist Company and its Partners for their prompt and efficient service.

Mr. S Shah, London, UK (Executive health check up), Mumbai, India

I was very impressed with the care I received at this hospital. The hospital is excellent with world-class facilities. The doctors and staff all spoke English and were very caring. They carried out their work professionally and satisfactorily. I would recommend anyone to go through The Medical Tourist Company as they organised my treatment in a prompt manner and ensured that I was seen by the best specialists. The services I received from The Medical Tourist Company and the hospital were fantastic and value for money.

Pat Allan, Aberdeen, Scotland (Dental Treatment in Poland)

Dear Dr Shah,

Our stay and treatment was perfect. We are absolutely delighted with the outcome, and you can be assured that we will be recommending your company and also the clinic to everyone here in Aberdeen.

Once again, thanks for your help,

Regards

Minaxi Navsaria, Wellingborough, UK (Ayurvedic Treatment, Kerala, India)

Dear Dr P.D Shah,

The place is wonderful and the centre is very good, the carers do an excellant job. Mina went there on a wheelchair and in 3 weeks she came out walking with one stick but again everyone is a different case. We have to have a faith and a belief in the treatment and go there with a positive attitude.

We recommend for anyone who is considering to go, to go with an open mind, anything could happen!

We, ourselves are planning on going again in the future.

Thank you very much for recommending us to go to Kerala.

Mr. A. S. Shah (Kenya) - Prostate, Mumbai, India

Dear Dr. P.D.,

Thanks for all your assistance in arranging the appointments with Dr. Mahajan and with Saurav at Wokhardt Hospital. We came back from India about a month ago and I am sorry for not writing earlier. The hospital was superb and the service was excellent.

Dad underwent all the tests again and thankfully, it was not prostrate cancer as we had suspected (and been informed by a lab in Nairobi!!). Dad was diagnosed with benign prostate hyperplasia but he had an abscess in the organ. He underwent TURP again and now he is feeling much better.

Once again, thank you for your help and support,

Regards.

Master Khaleel Jakada (Nigeria) - Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome, Mumbai, India

I am really proud to say that your entire team was exceptionally wonderful. Through out our stay, I cannot find anything to complain about.

Mr. Tejul has a promising future because he conducts himself and his work with passion and all sense of responsibility. Nisha, Madhavi and their Madam are an asset to the hospital. They ever smiling and willing to help. The doctors that saw Khaleel were wonderful. They always look out for the interest of the patient. The nurses of course "own" and keep the hospital anywhere, and that is exactly what this special group of people did. Also the driver was very responsible and courteous. I will not hesitate to recommend your team to my friends, relations and colleagues.

Mr. Mark Satchwell (UK) - Stem Cell Therapy, India

Having recently returned from India where I had stem cell treatment,I felt compelled to write a few lines of encouragement others considering something similar . I broke my neck on a motorbike c3,c4,c5,so I am quadraplegic.Ever since, I have studied various stem cell treatments around,so when an opportunity to go to chennai came up at the right price I jumped at the chance.They would be my own cells so there would be less risk of rejection or infection my prefered method.

My brother Wayne came as my carer and neither of us had been out of Europe befor so we were in for a real culture shock.All flights,visas,accommadation,liasion with doctors and hospital was taken care of by The Medical Tourist Company,and their service was unbeatable.

At The Lifeline Hospital we were overwhelmed by how friendly and helpful everyone was,plus the level of professionalisim shown by all the staff , from cleaners,porters,and nurses though to surgeons and consultants ,they all ,took pride in their work and did a good job.

The treatment was carried out and went without problem,and we returned to UK wiser men.So,if you think you could be helped by stem cell treatment and you have a sense of adventure why not try India?

Mark Satchwell.

Ashwin (Kenya) - Varicose Veins Surgery, Mumbai, India

Thank you so much for everything.

I thank God and of course you for making it possible for Ashwin to have such a good treatment. There are lots of people who would not be able to afford private treatment locally and are afraid to travel to India but we have realized how smooth, easy and economical it is by going through you.

I will definitely recommend everyone about Medical Tourist Company, and our own personal brilliant experience through Medical Tourist Co.

The minute we landed in Mumbai, everything went very smoothly right from pick up at the airport to hotel, and hospital treatment, and surgery. If we had not arranged through you, we would have spent more money, and would have taken at least a month or more trying to get the right doctor and right treatment.

The hotel was really nice and food was good. The staff, nurses and doctors were all very professional, helpful and extremely friendly.

Many thanks once again and please thank Bharatbhai for taking such good care of us.
