Mr. Ryan Carroll

Hello Dipa,

I'm recovering fine. My eyes seem good so far and the knee also. I didn't get the teeth done because the dentist said I was not a good candidate for the procedure I wanted and he suggested an alternative procedure which was a lot cheaper and I decided to have it done at home so I could spend my last week shopping and exploring.

I was pleased to see a placard with my name on it at the Airport when I arrived so I was driven to the hospital. He took me to the Emergency room where they didn't quite know what to do with me but I finally made them realize that I should be admitted
to a room.

The hospital and everyone associated with it were fine and proffessional towards me and my care. I don't realy have any complaints
worth mentioning. Overall it was a pleasant experience and I would do it again.

I didn't get to stay in the hotel you arranged for me but Chavvi found a guest house which worked out very well.

I would recommend your services to friends and family if the need arises. I even left my wallet on the admission counter one time and it was
turned in to security without any credit cards or money missing!!! I consider myself lucky.

From my first talk with Dipa at The Taj to my last visit with Dr Gulati, and everyone in between, I was treated with great care and professionalism. I would recommend your services to anyone.

Thanks for everything,

Ryan

Mr. Gordon Teague

Gordon Teague, 82 from Surrey, UK underwent a Total Knee Replacement at our Wockhardt Hospital, Mumbai, India. After only 6 weeks post op, Gordon is enjoying driving and playing Tennis!

Dear Dr Malan,

I am so glad I chose to place my full Knee operation in your hands.

The ease of movement I have experienced since exceeds my highest expectations. I re-started my tennis playing a week before Christmas-roughly 6 weeks after the operation. I am walking well and can easily and comfortably run, (well, trot speed) and am gaining confidence on the courts but continue to avoid sudden turns. I think my mind is too astonished to let me take advantage of what I feel sure I could do.

I expect that I shall increase my interceptions using my legs as well as my long arms within a week or two. My physician Dr McCahy is delighted and tells me she has never before had a patient who has been able to return to playing tennis after a knee operation. So far I have tested my walking up to 2 mile stints and found no discomfort, but I am not yet up to speed as the youngsters spurt past me.

I like using my elliptical cross trainer on the 4 days on which I don't play tennis and do the exercises set by my local Physio. The hard part of the Sinew and muscle stretching had already been done by your staff and the devoted nursing and attention was important to me. Unfortunately I can't abide curry and similar heavy flavourings but your caterers did not deem to be capable of cooking food without it despite assurances that they could. Probably saved me from gaining weight with all that lying about.

My Doctor prescribed some iron tablets because she and others said I looked anaemic and a tiredness has disappeared.

I also have to thank the prompt and efficient staff of The Taj Medical Group in Warwickshire for their efforts on my behalf. My sincere thanks to you and your splendid team and organisation.

Mrs Wendy Greening

Wendy Greening of North Portland, OR, USA found Taj Medical online with the help of her husband after 2 years of dealing with hip problems due to an injury. Her only other option was to purchase a COBRA* plan and contribute to it for a year before she could be considered for the hip resurfacing treatment she needed and would then have to pay at least 20%.

Even after making the contributions to the insurance policy there was still a chance that her procedure would not be approved for coverage as it could be considered a “pre-existing condition” based on her knowledge of the injury prior to purchasing the plan. Wendy had been dealing with this debilitating injury long enough and wanted something immediate that she could afford.

The total cost would have been around $55,000 in the US. In India, the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing surgery that Wendy received cost her only $8,000.

* - Health Benefits Under (COBRA) - The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
COBRA contains provisions giving certain former employees, retirees, spouses and dependent children the right to temporary continuation of health coverage at group rates. This coverage, however, is only available in specific instances. Group health coverage for COBRA participants is usually more expensive than health coverage for active employees, since usually the employer formerly paid a part of the premium. It is ordinarily less expensive, though, than individual health coverage.

Hi Dipa, This is Marti

"Wendy had a great time in Delhi, and loved to see the Taj Mahal, although it was from a distance. I guess you have to walk a way to get to it. She is happy to be home and has fond memories of a great experience at the hospital. She cannot say enough about all of the really wonderful people she met. She felt like she was treated like a princess".
