I cannot thank you enough for what you done for her and all of us. All the way from Sydney at this point of time, I can only send you our special message of gratitude through this mail.Possibly she had his Blessing that she found her way to you in this time of crisis. The fact that she is going to undertake such a long flight overseas says it all, only when she was in your hospital a month ago. Your kind approach in her predicament will always be remembered. We also Greatly appreciate the way every staff of your hospital looked after her and helped in her recovery. Our heartful thank you to you once again.

Dear Dr. Raajgopal, I am well on my way to recovery and I am able to get back my life again, which I am so grateful to you.Less than 3 months ago I was in constant pain from my hip. I could not walk without a pronounced limp. Life was becoming unbearable as I couldn't work, I couldn't be productive. I thought that I would always be like that as I had no insurance to cover a hip replacement operation in the US.Then I heard about you, Dr. Raajgopal and you changed my life.Meeting you put my fears at rest. You are so compassionate and sincere towards your patients. I learned from you, you explained everything that was to happen in terms that I could understand. You are a wonderful surgeon, the moment my surgery ended I felt great relief from pain. You and your staff made my recovery as easy and comfortable as possible. I have told everyone here about you as they were interested to hear about my experience in India and very interested in hearing about you.You have my complete confidence and I would not hesitate for a second to return to you should the need present itself.You are a blessing and a gift to us all.I would send a photo, but my before photo shows a grave, (too) thin shell of my former self. I have yet to have a recent one taken. When I do I will send it to you.All my Very Best to you, I thank you, my family thanks you and my dear friends thank you for bringing me back to my life.

It is about two years ago that I had undergone knee replacement surgery at Fortis Hospital, Noida. I was operated by the most renowned specialist Dr. Ashok Rajagopal assisted by his dedicated and competent team. I have ever since been living a normal healthy life, go for walks, do exercise and enjoy sight seeing both in India and abroad. I am no more a bow legged and there is no pain while walking. I shall ever remain grateful to Dr. Ashok Rajagopal for bringing joy and improving quality of my life. MAJ GEN AMARJIT SINGH (RETD.) 346, SECTOR-28 NOIDA 9818194444

I had been suffering from pain in both my knees for the past one year and was contemplating a joint replacement surgery. I learned that the orthopedic surgeons in India are among the best in the world and that they do many more procedures per year than most American surgeons. The latest, state of the art implants are available, and for about half the price one would pay in the US. I had the procedure done by Dr Rajgopal at Fortis Hospital, New Delhi, India Everyone I met, from the surgeon, Dr. Rajgopal, the technologists, nurses, physical therapists were extremely kind and helpful. Overall, I had a very positive experience with Dr. Rajgopal and his staff. I feel I received excellent care throughout my stay and would recommend this process to anyone who finds themselves in need of surgery and must pay for it themself.

Having suffered with chronic osteo-arthritis in my left knee and left hip I recently travelled to Delhi, India, to the Fortis Hospital, Vasant Kunj to undergo hip and knee replacement under the direction of Dr Ashok Rajgopal. I spent a week at the Fortis Hopsital and then three weeks at a nearby hotel recuperating and receiving daily physiotherapy from hospital staff who travelled to my hotel. The service I received was absolutely first class. The medical team was superb. Doctor Rajgopal was ably assisted by a team of doctors and physiotherapists who at all times were considerate, supportive and pleasant in their mannr towards me. By way of conclusion i would encourage any one in my position to take the same course of action. In terms of expertise and facilities and value for money it would be impossible to find a better arrangement especially when one considers the world renown of Doctor Rajgopal who as well as being a first class orthopaedic surgeon is also a charming and approachable person. I am now recovering well and looking forward to a future of much improved mobility and greatly reduced pain. I have my old life back. Graham Gamblin, United Kingdom and Kuwait.

Plato claims that our world is nothing but a shadowy place where perfection shall forever remain tantalizingly out of bounds. If so, then, the Medanta hospital is trying hard to stretch that boundary to the maximum. In my mind, it comes across as being probably as close to perfection as it will ever be in Plato’s shadowy world. There is no shortage of fine, private hospitals scattered across India and catering to local as well as to foreign patients. Among these, the Medanta hospital probably stands out as the most recent of its kind and one of India’s most advanced state-of-the-art private medical delivery systems, at par with the best medical facilities to be found in the US, Europe and/or Japan. On arrival I am immediately greeted by one of the hospital’s administrators and he whisks me away to meet briefly with Dr. Ashok Rajgopal, one of the world’s authorities in orthopedic surgery and the head surgeon who would perform my knee replacement operation. Dr. Ashok Rajgopal along with his long time pal, the eminent cardiologist Dr. Naresh Threhan, are the conceptual “brains”, inspiration and motivation behind the creation of the Medanta hospital, which probably ranks among the top of India’s state-of-the-art, private medical establishments. Rarely in my life have I found myself being so pampered and my needs being taken care of so diligently and promptly than during my whole stay at the Medanta hospital. In Dr. Rajgopal’s instance, he and his team perform a very large number of TKR operations per month on a scale which is probably unheard of in the US. If, as the saying goes: “practice makes perfect”, then this kind of expertise acquired through extensive practice is certainly one of the key factors that triggered my decision to seek orthopedic help in India, the other being of course financial. The quality of medical care I have received at Medanta far exceeds what I was entitled to or could have dreamt of. As to the question about whether or not I experience pain in the aftermath of the operation, the answer is that I never experienced it except perhaps only once and very briefly during the day that followed the operation. One of the reasons may be that throughout the recovery phase, I am being administered plenty of pain killing drugs. And thus ends my foray into India in search for and getting high quality and affordable medical care above and beyond what I’ve ever expected and/or imagined. Mission accomplished with flying colors and many thanks to all those who contributed to make it the success that it is.
