Wonderful Experience

Review of Right Choice Home & Away by Samuel. Treatment date: over 12 months

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.
