In 1993 I developed advanced osteoarthrits of both my hips. Unusual at the age of 51, I am a waiter and had no insurance or $100,000 for
a double replacement, I had no opions with the American medical system. Here is the greatest nation the world has ever seen and half of
the population does not have accessable healthcare. My employer had seen a report on 60 minutes about hip replacement surgery in India,
which I thought inane. If it cannot be gotten here, in the land of the free and the home of thr brave, how so overseas? One night in
despair, I came home and puched in "hip replacements in India". I got a bunch of websites, communicated with eight and went with the one
I felt the most comfortable with, The Medical Tourist Co. and Dr Prem Shah. I did my research well, and handled my travel itinerary
myself. I had to travel solo, which I do not recomend, however I had no option. They met me in Mumbai, escorted me to Haranandani
Hospital, which is clean, spacious and wonderful. The staff was great, always there, and friendly. The operation was painful, but what
did I expect, other than they took great care of me, lead me through the whole ordeal. The hospital and it's people were superb. To this
day, I would much rather be there than any American hospital, the care was so much better. My life is not perfect, but I can do so many
things I could not do prior to the procedure. The pain is gone, I can exercise again and the quality is so much better. All at a
fraction of the bloated medical costs in the good old U.S.A.
