Mrs Marie Gordon-Russell
Hello Dipa,
Sorry I haven't got back to you before.
Everything was splendid and very well organised from first contact
with yourself, the arranging of the hospital, flights and visa's,
one month including the Xmas and new year period, good going after
the email ping pong from other people!!!!!
Marie is extremely pleased with the outcome of her surgery and has
received nothing but compliments on how she looks in particular how
much weight she appears to have lost from the surgery. She feels
more confident about her appearance and this has also altered her
posture for the better.
Dr Pandya and Dr Mukund Jagannathan (Both Professor's, can you
imagine that in the U.K.) performed the operation and are extremely
professional, although they do not treat you in a condescending
manner and were at pains to ensure that Marie understood fully about
the surgery and outcome. Their post-op care was also superb and,
although back in the UK they both maintain email contact.
All the staff at Wockhardt hospital took great care to attend to
Marie's every needs. Marie has done a testimonial for the hospital -
.http://www.wockhardthospitals.net/general/pat_exp.asp As regards
the travelling everything was superb.
We stopped at Thistle Hotel, Heathrow, which has 21 nights parking
in the tariff, plus extra days at £9, and Hoppa transfer to the
terminal. BMI was a good carrier and the flight was very enjoyable.
Dukes retreat was a good place to rest after Mumbai!!!! which as
you know is total bedlam.
We flew to Goa from Mumbai with Jet Air, who issue e tickets, so
everything can be arranged over the net.
As for Goa, what a really great place, we went to Cavelossim, South
Goa and stopped at Luisa by the Sea, individual villas with air
conditioning Cavelossim is a nice quite resort just right for
recuperation.
We loved Goa that much that we are planning to return Dec/Jan, be a
shame to waste the one year visa!!
It is best to get an Indian sim card 95IR but to get one you need
passport and passport size photo, otherwise no chance.
Thanks for everything. Your professionalism gave Marie the
confidence to commit to surgery in India., something that she would
advocate for anyone sat in a stagnant NHS waiting list.
I will let you have a photo next week.
Regards, Jim
Message to The Taj Medical Group and Wockhardt Hospital……
I have been trying for six years to undergo breast reduction in the
United Kingdom. Initially I was told there was an NHS waiting list
and that was the last I heard until 18months ago when I again
visited the doctors, who confirmed in their opinion I required a
reduction.
However, after having to chase up what was happening I was
eventually informed that there was no money available in the area
Health Trust Fund covering my area and none would be available in
the foreseeable future.
I had read positive reports regarding surgery in India and
researched the possibility of undergoing the surgery there.
The cost being approximately 1/4 of that in the UK.
I chose the Wockhardt International Hospital for it's reputation
and International Patients division,(Managed by Dr Dhaval and Mr.
Anil , assisted by Mr. Bharat) which is geared specifically to
making everything run as smoothly as possible, including arranging
shopping/sightseeing travel and accommodation in India.
My partner was able to stay in the same room as me, the room was
comfortable and spacious.
I had chosen the Internationally renowned Dr. Narendra Pandya for
the surgery and the consultations, tests, etc. were all arranged by
Dr. Dhaval and his staff.
Although I was apprehensive all the hospital staff took great pains
to make me as comfortable as possible and make my stay enjoyable.
Everybody was very attentive to my needs from both the domestic and
medical side.
The food is not a problem as you are provided with a daily menu
with options of Indian and English cuisine. Mr.Shahbuddin the
catering manager and his staff are only too willing to help with
diet.
The nursing staff are all very pleasant, attentive and ready with a
smile and words of re-assurance.
There is no language barrier and I would have no reservations in
recommending this well managed and friendly hospital to anybody
seeking surgery in India.
Thanks also to Dipa and the rest of the Team at The Taj Medical
Group for everything. Your professionalism gave Marie the confidence
to commit to surgery in India., something that she would advocate
for anyone sat in a stagnant NHS waiting list.
