International Apollo Hospital
"If they are offering themselves as an international surgery destination they need to clean up their act."

"Horrible, horrible horrible. Coming from a first world country I don't expect the dirt and flies inside the hospital. I don't expect the cracked tiles and inability to fulfill a simple request, like "ice". The staff are by no means bilingual. The one department doesn't know what the others are doing. Checkout took an age. The nursing staff leave things like finger lances lying on your bed. You have to clean up after them. They are not billingual or up to speed on things we take for granted in the rest of the world, like "tampons"."

"These are only my impressions of Dr Kriplani and should no way be taken as facts.rnrnWhat was your first impression of him.rnI liked his emails. He was very reassuring and seemed to spend endless time answering my questions that he must have answered a gazillion times before.rnHow did your impression change over time?rnI wasn't overly impressed with his bedside manner and found him to b a little dismissive once I was there. But each day as I improve that fades and I'm awed at how much i improve.rnHow would you describe his office staff?rnHis staff were great. He has a team of about five or six surgeons and I got on really well with most of them. I did find some trouble with booking accommodation, but in the end it worked out really well as I met two angels.rnWhat did you like least about him?rnJust after the operation I was in severe pain with nursing staff in the recovery room continuously bumping into the drain in my side, I tried to tell him and he walked away from me. He failed to let my attendant (that would be family and loved ones to you guys) know what was happening, she had no idea as to how long the surgery was, how it went or even where I was in the hospital. she thought she would be seeing me in three or four hours time, she only managed to find out that I was in ICU at about 6 30pm, my op was supposed to start at 7.30am. Her desperate inquiries with floor nursing staff were pretty much useless as no one seemed to know anything.rnWhat should future patients know about him? rnI can only imagine that you're going to India for your surgery because you have no other choice, just understand that you get what you pay for. The operation is done, I feel better every day. rnHow much does he emphasize aftercare?rnVery much.rnDoes he have a structured aftercare program?rnYes.rnHow did he address the risks of surgery?rnFully, I feel, but buried in the praises of it. It's hard to say.rn How would you rate him overall? rnCompetant, I'm still alive.rnWhich is better, surgical competence, bedside manner, or are both great?rnSurgical competance, I hope. rnrnrnrnrnrnrn"
