We got here and were picked up at the airport and then had 3 days of tests in the hospital before the surgery. I was actually very very happy - in the US, I would only have gotten a lumbar MRI and here, the procedure was to do a full spine MRI and they found that I had a tumor in my neck. If I would have found this in the United States, I would be getting 2 operations instead of 1 and that was potentially a very dangerous thing not to know about it. I am very grateful that the procedures were so thorough here. In that way, I got better treatment than what I would have gotten back home.

When I got here, everything was just very easy. They took care of everything that they needed to do. It was much less expensive here.

I have been having problems with my back for about a year and gotten to a point where I couldn't walk for more than a couple of hundred feet without having to sit down. I finally went for an MRI and as soon as they looked at that they said, " O! You need surgery". I have a cousin who is a radiologist who said, " You need a full back replacement". However, I didn't have medical insurance and I couldn't afford the surgery in the United States. So I started looking out wondering what to do and finally found it important to come to India to be operated on.

After surgery, it has now been about 2 weeks and I am 90% back. I can walk farther than I have been able to walk for years. Probably in a month I will be all put back together. They say that my chances are about 90% of never needing surgery again.

The people, the nursing staff was tremendously friendly and willing to help and down in the Physiotherapy, they were great.

After being in the hospital, I was released to a beautiful private club where I was able to relax and recuperate with no stress at all and that worked very well. Then, I finally got a chance to see a little of the real India; we had a few days in before we had to go back.

The doctors were superb, very well trained, very well spoken, I was always happy to see them. They talked to me well, told me what was going on and it filled me with confidence every time I talked to them.

The overall experience has really been very good, mostly because now I have been put back together. The food was amazing. I ate really well. The food in the hospital was way better than any hospital food I have ever had and seen in the US. It's a beautiful facility - new, modern, clean. The room we were in was nicer than most hotel rooms we have been in. The view of the flower garden from the sixth floor is just a very pleasant place to be. Wockhardt, Bangalore is surely a good choice for getting a surgery
