NRI lady of New Jersey appreciates getting dental implant surgery in India.

I met Sonia Hyder an NRI of New Jersey in India, during a national medical surgery conference at Mumbai, she had come to India for a dental implant surgery, her treatment was nearly complete and she was preparing with her husband to fly back to the U.S and my friend who was a dentist of the Indian city got me introduced to the NRI couple and I asked them how and why did they come to India as their city could offer a better dental surgery options, hearing this Sonia replied that the medical facilities at their place is no doubt an upgraded one but the costs are expensive moreover U.S is one of the topmost country where Inflation is touching the skies and obviously every person whether poor or rich desires to have a medical treatment facility at an affordable less cost. The Indian lady jested and smiled saying “ We remain rich until we save more along with earning a lot of money.”

I was impressed by the sense of humour and reasoning displayed by Sonia. I asked her how did she decide to have a dental Implant in India. Sonia continued “ I met with an accident at home when I slipped from the stairs while going to my study room of our house. Nearly eight teeth of mine broke it was really terrible moreover my husband took me to the dental surgeon of our city and he told that the damage was severe he suggested to take a dental implant, I asked him about the procedure and he told that the treatment is of two stages, first the implants were to be placed on the bones of the jaw and then the crowns were to be fixed over the implant structures. However I wanted to have the dental tools made of zirconium and that seemed to be comfortable for me but zirconium implants cost about 880$ U.S and the cost seemed to be unaffordable by us at that time so we started seeking medical treatment options at a less comparitive cost and we finally got the solution through correspondence with Indian Healthguru and this medical tourism company helped and guided us a lot right from the beginning. On having submitted my case details the people of the medical tourism company offered to arrange a medical trip to India for a dental implant with all the best available healthcare and boarding facilities at a modern and sophisticated dental hospital in India at the top metropolitan city of Mumbai at a less cost of 600$ U.S and the bargain seemed to be a proper one to us so I came to India with my husband for getting implants in my mouth 15 days before, I was received with a warm welcome by the members of the tourism company who made me to lodge at a comfortable guest house supplemented with all facilities and the doctors treated me well in preparing and setting Implants after a week I got to the second stage of the dental surgery in which the Indian doctors prepared and fixed the dental crowns over the implants and I recovered from my trouble. I am grateful to the surgeons of India and of course Indian Healthguru that assisted me for a medical trip to India”.

After having narrated the experience of her dental implant surgery in India Sonia left with her husband for U.S. Having heard about her story right from herself I came to the conclusion that India is advancing towards a status of pioneership in the field of medical treatment and healing as its doctors are now providing the best treatment facilities at comparative affordable prices, India has no doubt become one of the finest choice of International patients for health recovery.

Tom got his eye vision restored after a lasik surgery in India.

Hello again to all online readers,
Its Aussie here again in the previous experience story of Peter I had shown a flash back how he got rid of his hair problem after a hair transplant in India. I got curious about knowing more about the health care and medical services going on in India, so I started searching for more people who could tell me about there experiences in India until I met
Tom Bros from U.S.A (texas) who took a lasik surgery in India in the year 2006. It so happened that I went on a 20 day's holiday package tour last year and I got a chance to get around austin city with my tour collegues, there we planned to view a play named "nutcracker" at Paramount theatre.Nutcracker was a classic Christmas play about a girl named Clara who is given a Nutcracker doll by her uncle at night the toys come to life. The play was about to start after an hour at 6'0'Clock evening so we went to a coffee shop in the premises of the theatre to enjoy some snacks and there I had a chat with my holiday tour friends, our guide also accompanied us and he was none other than Tom. I asked him"buddy since how much time are you in this job of holiday tour guide?" Tom said" since two years but I believe it firmly that countries in Asia have more worth seeing places and a person like me can earn more in this profession if I work there as more people from europe are interested in places like India for a vacation.
I questioned Tom again" how can you say that?" Tom replied "last year I got a chance to visit India during a lasik surgery procedure as I was not preferring to use eye glasses any more and there I also went on a vacation trip to a wild life park in the central Indian region and there I saw the joy and contentment on the faces of people who came to India from abroad, Tom continued "I had joined the job of a holiday vacation guide two years before but it seemed that the eye glasses that I had put on my face due to shortsighteness was not working well to impress customers and I also appeared more in age though I am just 27 so I thought of getting a surgery to get freed from eye glasses. My friends told me that good medical solutions are available at Atlanta city so I approached there to a surgeon and he told me to get a lasik surgery after having taken all the medical tests, the doctor told me that "wave front laser" procedure would be suitable for curing both the eyes but I hesitated to proceed because I was told a medical cost of 1350$ U.S and at that period I was running shortage of funds as I was not able to do well in my job to get an increment in the payment package so I decided to wait for some months. I returned back and narrated all that had happened to my friends and they told me to search for a solution outside the country somewhere in Asia as the cost of surgery was more in Europe too."
Tom kept on narrating"I started searching in medical weekly journals, health magazines and Internet too, finally I caught a view of some medical tourism companies who were arranging surgeries at the hospitals of India at affordable and less price options. I clicked on a website of Indian Healthguru and found the profile of the company to be a suitable one . I submitted my query for a lasik surgery and the people of the medical tourism company gave me an immediate response with a follow up call on phone. I was told by them that the treatment could be arranged at the affliated hospitals of India with all the required health facilities and the price quote for the surgery was just 650$ U.S unbelievable! it was, I obtained my medical visa under the guidance of the medical tourism company and it made all the arrangements of the travel and I came to India after two weeks of having a registration at an hospital of bombay city, The associates of the tourism company picked me at the airport and made arrangements of lodging in a cosy and comfortable guest house situated in the premises of the hospital itself so I had no problem. I had a meeting with the Indian eye surgeon in my room at evening and He told me that I will have to stay for six days, Investigations are done on the first day, surgery on the second day, follow up check up on the third day and again on the sixth day. My treatment started on the second day of the medical trip I was treated with a laser machine for an hour and the surgery was declared to be complete by the doctors. After having stayed for six days I went on a holiday vacation package to a wild life national park in the central indian region offered by the medical company and there I saw a large number of tourists coming from the west, on having a talk with them the people told that India is rich in flora and fauna and the best appealing spot for health after enjoying a five day trip I came back to states but my meeting with the Indian surgeons and the people of the medical tourism company was memorable to me as all of them had been quite helpful and hospitable to me and by their efforts I got back a healthy eye sight and now I am working and earning well in my job."
By the time tom finished telling his story the play had begun so we rushed to the theatre hall quickly and enjoyed our evening.

Peter Simon's story of getting a hair transplant in India.

Hello to my online friends,

This is a real story of a patient who got a hair transplant in India. As I have already told you that I am a medical journalist and collecting information about the latest developments in the field of medical science as well as meeting patients and discussing on their experiences of medical treatment is my hobby as well as profession. It was two years before in 2005 I went to Ireland on a summer vacation where I met Peter Simon, the manager of the hotel where I was staying. Peter was a happy go and cheerful guy by temper and we became good companions and it was he who took me for an outing to visit the country side. One day I went to fishing near a lake situated at the city side accompanied by Peter and we got lucky to catch four acquatic creatures within an hour. Peter made a bonfire and managed to cook the fish when I asked him "when did you get married?" He smiled on hearing me and answered in a grave tone "after I got back my hair."
The answer seemed to be a ridiculous one to me so I exclaimed "what?". Peter continued "I married Annie after getting a hair transplant in India." I jested with him laughingly "so you are leading a married life with artificial hair I didn't know that, how did you get in trouble of hair loss or I suppose where you bald since the early years of your life?" Peter said "I started experiencing hair problems right from the age of sixteen years, butI didn't give any heed to it however after four years of completing my graduation I got a job luckily at this hotel and the salary package was also good so my parents suggested me to marry at that time I had no love affair I joined a dating club for finding the right partner for myself my personal profile was an impressive one so I was lucky to meet three girls pretty and well going with their careers, but after date they gave me a cool reply on the question of commencing a relationship, the third one after date clearly stated that my fore head that was undergoing hair loss looked irritating.
Being a sensitive person by nature all this seemed very embarassive to me. I went to a cosmetic hair specialist and narrated my problem to him and the doctor after having a medical scrutiny of my case suggested me to take a hair transplant surgery costing a fee of 1,547 pounds, the fee seemed to me high at that time so I searched for better options for the surgery, finally I got the solution at a less price factor in India through a medical tourism company by the name Tour2india4health, It gave me an immediate response through a phone call right on the next morning after I had e-mailed the details of my hair problem to it. The company informed me on phone that the associated surgeons of India are providing the hair transplant surgery at a less exclusive price of 386 pounds with the best rated medical and lodging facilities, the people of the tourism company told me that there was nothing to worry about the passport or medical visa to India because a medical visa could be easily arranged at the Indian embassy office of the local country or city in which the patient lives. An arrangement was made for me to travel India with the completion of all the documentation procedure by the medical tourism company and I went there after the two weeks of making the registration. I was made to lodge at a comfortable surgery hospital supplemented with all the medical facilities.
The hair transplant procedure began right from the next day and continued for four days uptil completion. On the fifth day I was able to see my forehead abounding in hairs and it gave an attractive and fresh look to my face. The costs were less and same as told by the medical tourism company. I left for the return journey to Ireland after thanking the medical staff of India that was so cooperative, friendly and entertaining. I also met warmly with the consultants of the medical tourism company who arranged an easy solution to my problem. After a month of getting a hair transplant in India I met Annie at the dating club and we felt ourselves to be made for each other by the creator and we got married. A hearty thanks to Tour2india4health who relieved me of my trouble."
I didn't imagine that a small joke which I made at my dear friend Peter would reveal a notable information about the medical facilities at Indian hospitals so I decided to seek more about the various health care treatments in India.
