Right Choice Home & Away (115)
Medical Travel Agency, United Kingdom

After investigating a number of overseas medical options I found that Euromedical Tours, and Zahid in particular, were interested in
helping me get the procedures that I needed at a reasonable cost and in a safe environment. Zahid arranged a number of consultations,
some via the telephone/email, with different surgeons and was able to get the information I required to make an informed decision. I
travelled to Lahore on the same flight as my surgeon Dr. Moazzam's, who kindly assisted me at the airport to ensure that I got through
immigration/customs and found my transfer to the hotel without delay. Dr Moazzam undertook the 10 hour operation the day after my
arrival and I was in the hospital for 5 days. The doctor visited me every day, and I also had visited from his wife Maryam and
unexpectedly Zahid. I found the hospital (Ammar Medical Complex) very clean, the service from all the staff, other doctors nurses, their
assistants and cleaners were very professional but friendly and caring. The hospital administrator visited regularly and ensured that
the service I was receiving was top class. I had a choice of food, mainly brought in from external restaurants. I was impressed that I
was not in pain, although a bit uncomfortable, following the multiple operations. My 9 day recuperation at the hotel when well although
due to the multiple operations I was not fit enough to do much sightseeing, I was escorted around Lahore shops and had supper with
Maryam. Dr Moazzam gave me a whistlestop tour of Lahore, its fort and mosque. If I required anything that the hotel did not stock the
staff were willing to do shopping for me as well as organise pizza deliveries and cheap phone cards. The receptionist was a great help
and was the conduit between myself and the doctor, and helped me with my dressings when I had difficulty with them. On my return from
Lahore I had had occasion to attend my local hospital on another issue and the NHS consultant has complimented the work at has been
carried out by Dr Moazzam, as have my GP and surgery nurse who have had to remove some of the remaining stitches. Thank you Dr Moazzam
for your skill, sense of humour and kindness.

Zahid who arranges the treatment was excellent throughout, answering all my questions.The journey was a bit daunting as I was alone but
the result is worth it.Mouzzam the surgeon was fantastic, and overall the experience was quite exciting. I was never in pain,this was
controlled very well.It is ten weeks since the surgery and I have positive comments from work collegues and friends and I feel more
confident. I would be more than happy to share this with anyone who has doubts as I have found the company to be extremelly
proffesssional.

Having compared the costs between private surgery in the UK (£5.5k) and private surgery abroad
(£1.2k), I opted for the latter. Flights to Mumbai were £316 with expedia, so even added together
proved vastly cost effective. My experience was fantastic. I was slightly overwhelmed arriving at Mumbai at Midnight as it was my first
visit to India. However, both my fiance and I were picked up by a driver and taken to Saifee Hospital
(http://www.saifeehospital.com/). Overall experience was fantastic. Staff were very attentive. Room was spacious and clean. And Dr
Tibrewali, the consultant whose care I was under, kept in regular personal contact. I also had regular phonecalls from Euromedical
Tourism to ensure everything was fine. One bit of advice with Saifee Hospital, ask for a room that does not face the main road.
Although the front view is beautiful, it is a city that never sleeps, and it's outside your window! so gets very noisey at 3-4am in the
morning. The views were fantastic though, but not a trade off after an operation I would do. I have recovered from my rhinoplasty
operation fully. It went as well as I could have expected. No complications. No infections. Hospital was as sophisticated as any private
hospital I have seen in the UK. We got discharged into a local hotel after about 4 days. Again, fantastic experience. Few tips: when
tipping door people, aim for around 20 rupees. Taxi fares around Mumbai central shouldn't cost you any more than about 50-100 rupees
absolute maximum - obtain a rate card. I say this, because 1. the cost of taxi fares for the same journey ranged 50 to 500 rupees (the
latter we challenged) and 2. we were well enough to do some sightseeing, and in fact, after four days in hospital, you will want to get
out and about. When in hospital, take some entertainment - something to read etc. There are a few english speaking channels, but you
will want something else to do. Depending on how much you want to spend, The Taj Mahal at the Gate of India is a fabulous Hotel. It is
more expensive, but they are doing some good discounts at the moment (7000 rupees per night) so worth it. I would definately do this
again and recommend to friends and family.

This was our 2nd trip with Eromedical tours and I must say nearly everything was spot on. We arrived about 1700 hrs and we were met by
the Doctors and Consultant who then proceeded in telling me how they where going to do my 3 operations. I then had a througher medical
and was pronouced fit for surgery. I went down at 0800 hrs and was in theatre for over 7 hours. I spent the night in icu and returned to
my room where my husband was waiting for me. Due to my blood count dropping I had to have a blood transfusion and everyone was so nice
and explained what was happening. We spent an extra 3 nights in the Apollo Hospital before being upgraded to a Beach Resort Hotel which
was very nice. I found all the staff from the cleaners to the consultant were all brilliant. The only person who was very agressive was
the billing clerk due to the fact that our payment was lost in someone's system and she thought we had not paid the surgeon's but
everything turned out alright.

I went to Mumbai for my surgery . The treatment i was recieved was better than i expected..the thought of going to india for surgery was
very frightening but i have to say i was surprised at how well i was treated. Zahid was amazing, kept in touch by phone thought the stay
making sure there were no problems which was very reasuring knowing that i had somebody at hand if things went wrong....luckily
everything went to plan and i look fantastic. Dr Tibrewala is truely a talented surgeon using all the latest methods ( which i have
never heard of in England) leaving no scars at all...amazing I would recommend Euromedical tours to all my friends and family with
confidence. The only down side to my trip was the lack of time i had to enjoy the area. Mumbai was fanastic and i thank Zahid for
recommending it,I dont think i would ever had the chance to visit such a beautiful place otherwise, and YES i will defaintely go again

It has been two weeks since my visit to Lahore to have facial cosmetic surgery. Now that the swelling has disappeared and the stitches
dissolved I feel I am in a position to rate the overall service. The uk side of things was handled very professionally by Zahid. Quotes
and queries were sent to me quickly. At the consultation in Preston, Dr Tarrar explained exactly what was involved and what the likely
outcome would be. Having decided to go ahead with Euromedical I was impressed with the completeness of the package. Collection to and
from the airport/hotel/medical facility. The level of care at the facility exceeded all my expectations. My wife (who had accompanied
me) and I were made to feel incredibly comfortable. The 7 day visit I had was rounded off with a stay at a local hotel which had been
booked for me. We were assisted by Zahid with everything from local currency exchange, my wifes shopping and cargo requirements, which
restaurants to dine at and ordering milkshakes from mcdonalds in the middle of the night! Whilst I had swelling to the face I feel I had
more of a holiday than a medical visit. My only regret is staying only 7 days as I feel I would have enjoyed the stay more given more
time. I have no hesitation in recommending Euromedical. I am extremely glad I opted to have the surgery, I could not be more pleased
with the results.

I originally started looking into my rhinoplasty December 08, which was a bit in advance as earliest I could have my surgery was April
due to holidays at work. I found Zahid very pleasant to deal with, very relaxed and totally without any pressure, but still very
organised. He gave me quotes for a number of different hospitals and surgeons, and in the end I decided to go with Dr Tibrewala, as I
got some really good results when I googled him, and the surgery to take place at Goa Apollo Victor hospital, because lets face it, it's
Goa! I had my consultation, and both Dr Tibrewala and Zahid were very reassuring in person and I felt completely at ease, so I went
ahead and booked. Zahid knew of another lady travelling for surgery at the same time on her own (I was travelling with my friend) so he
arranged for us to meet up at Heathrow. Jet Airways flights were amazing - the best airline I've ever flown with, very well organised.
Transfer to the hospital was a bit of a culture shock, bit of an interesting vehicle for your first experience of Indian road traffic!
But nevertheless, after 10 hours a transfer is a transfer. Hospital was amazingly clean - spotlessly so, cleaner than any NHS hospital
I've been in, nurses were very friendly. Billing was a little interesting as they didn't seem to get it right first time, and then after
my surgery they realised it still wasn't correct - which can be a little worrying but once I got home and worked it back I did pay what
I expected in the end. Main problems were the arrangements for food for my companion - canteen didn't seem keen to serve anything other
than bottled water, and there was a real language barrier when ordering room service. In the end it turned out that my friend could
request to be on the same menu as me, we just wish we'd known that earlier. Don't go expecting English cuisine - you're in India. I was
fine with the food - plenty of it and well cooked, so very happy - but my friend as a more fussy person really struggled to eat. You do
have to keep your wits about you, sometimes with the language barrier things aren't explained fully, so you've got to do your best to
ask questions and if you do need help you've got to be a little bold and do your best to ask, otherwise things will get a bit confused.
But on the whole, no problems. Surgery was amazing, woke up feeling tired but no more pain than sore nostrils as if I'd been wiping my
nose too much. Hardly any bruising. The plaster in the heat did do my head in, with the sweating and the icky feeling that I was unable
to wash my nose for a week. But very well carried out - can see why Dr Tibrewala was world renowned. Dr Patel who did the aftercare was
also excellent and very personable. Transfer to Jasminn Inn was much better than the transfer to the hospital - nice airconditioned
van. The hotel is beautiful. Its in a village off the beaten track, but the hotel is second to none. If thats a basic hotel I'd like to
know what isn't a basic hotel as I was very impressed. The Green Bamboo restaurant is excellent - staff very friendly and chatty. Rooms
excellent, grounds excellent although pool could do with a bit more seating, maybe an outdoor section of the restaurant? And I got to
do the bulk of my recuperation on the beach - what can I say - there's no better place to do it. Would definitely go again if I ever
wanted something else doing - amazing experience. And I am VERY happy with my results.

hi there i was a bit apprehensive on going abroad for comestic surgery its now nearly 3 months since i have had rhinoplasty and chin
augmentation done. wish i had done it earlier. i went to london to see Dr Tarar and Zahid for my intial consultation both were very
professional in there revelent roles. this gave me the assurance that i needed to carry on with my surgery. i decided to have my
operation in lahore pakistan being a pakistani this was a easy choice as i already knew the language and customs there so can get by on
my own.everyone spoke a good level of english from start to finish so language should be a problem for others. arrived in lahore was
picked up at the airport and taken to the hotel which was very impressive it had internet connections so i kept in touch with family and
friends. i met Dr Tarar agin for a pre op check then the next day it was operation time and recovery at the AMC medical Hospital. i
was lucky to have some family come and visit me there in lahore. the qulaity of care from all the medical staff was great Dr Tarar's
team were great. i knew i was in great hands with a very experienced surgeon. i was lucky enough to meet Zahid in pakistan too a
couple of times who kept an eye on me to make sure i was feeling fine.which i thought was a great personal touch. i had my bandages
finally removed the day before arriving back in the uk my only regret was not having enough time to explore the wonderful city of lahore
without my bandages on lol. i wish i had done this operation much earlier in my life now i am much happier in my apperance which is
giving me more self asteem. thank you Zahid and special thanks to Dr Tarar for you expert medical skills which changed me into a more
confident and happier person. i highly reccommend you to anyone considering comestic surgery abroad you are in good hands.

To combine a memorable experience along with affordable,first class treatment seems like a fantasy, but Lahore is an exciting, vibrant
City, the affordable excellence of the Sunfort Hotel and particularly Doctors Moazzam and Maryam Tarar make the fantasy a reality, and
almost as an incidental the results of the Treatment are FIRST CLASS
