HIP RESURFACING SURGERY TESTIMONIAL

Healthbase assisted Markey D of Mississippi, USA, who had been a long-time sufferer of osteoarthritis to have his hip resurfacing surgery in India.

"At the end of May of this year, the cartilage in my left hip finally wore completely out due to osteoarthritis. I had bone on bone when walking and severe pain. I had learned about hip resurfacing through newspaper articles. I went online to find out all I could about the procedure and availability of same. During my search there was a link to medical tourism. When I clicked on medical tourism it took me to the Healthbase website.

"There, I found a wealth of information explaining medical tourism and a film clip on hip resurfacing... I then filled out a personal information worksheet as well as a medical profile. From there, Healthbase helped me in everything from sending my medical records to doctor, appointment booking, passport, visa and travel arrangements. Everyone told me that I would not be able to obtain a passport in that short of a period of time, as there was a tremendous back log from everyone trying to obtain passports. Healthbase told me not to be concerned, that we could get it. Two weeks from the day I mailed all completed materials I received my passport and visa.

"From the time I entered the hospital I was treated as royalty with care and respect. All personnel that I came into contact with I was able to converse in English with. They immediately started gathering information and prepping me for surgery the following day. The surgeon, Dr. Mahlan, is one of the most learned in the world in the field of hip resurfacing. The entire surgical staff are first class. After surgery I could not have asked for better care or treatment. The therapist then began immediately working with me to prepare me 10 days later to return home and resume a normalcy of life. During my entire stay Healthbase maintained contact with the hospital and with me and reported daily my progress to my family.

"There is no way I can adequately put into words the positive attitude that I have towards Healthbase and their staff, Wockhardt Hospital and their staff."

Sincerely,
Markey D, Mississippi, USA

Medical Tourism is the act of traveling abroad to receive medical, dental and cosmetic care. Medical Tourism is also called as Medical Travel, Health Tourism, Health Travel and Medical Value Travel. Significantly lower costs for best practice care is usually the primary motivation although some medical tourists go abroad for immediate availability of procedures and unavailable treatments. Patients frequently take advantage of the opportunity to vacation and tour inexpensively in the country they are visiting.
