“Hello, I am Kevin Steven from Ireland and I underwent a combined cervical disc replacement with cervical fusion surgery in India. I had suffered a lot because of excruciating pain in my back and neck for years, and the intensity of pain was going severe with every passing day. When I consulted my general physician, he told me to undergo some tests and MRI to know about the problem I was facing. After getting the tests done, I got to see that I needed two different surgeries. Though I was very much afraid for a while since I needed the disc replacement for the c3 and c4 disc and the cervical fusion for c4 and c5 disc, which happened to be two major spine surgeries. I tried to find out some surgeons in Ireland .”
"In Ireland, there was a long waiting list, and no spine surgeon was ready to take the risk of doing both the surgeries together. Many surgeons even suggested me to wait at least three months after getting one surgery. As I was quite aware of the concept called medical tourism, I started looking forward to some medical tourism companies in the Asian continent, which can help me out for the same. After rigorous research, I found a couple of medical tourism consultants, including Forerunners Healthcare Consultants in India. I submitted my reports and MRI to the coordinator I was assigned for the clinical advice. Then after a couple of calls with forerunners medical associate about my surgery, I knew somehow it was genuine and that I finally found what I was looking for. The associate answered all my queries very descriptively. He made me very much comfortable. Initially, I was not very sure that I want to get my surgery in India as it was going to be a severe surgery. But, after discussing with the associate and the surgeon, I got my cervical disc replacement and cervical fusion surgery in India arranged. Forerunners Healthcare happened to be the only ones who were ready to provide me both the operations at a time and very much reasonable medical fees."
"In India, the customer relations officer of the company received me with great warmth at the airport. He took me straight to the hospital, where I was supposed to get the surgery. The hospital was accommodating and beautiful. Indians are indeed the friendliest people I ever met in my life. The staff of the hospital was amiable and caring. They were very friendly and helpful. I felt like I was under consultation with my family doctor at home. The surgeries went very nicely. I am delighted with the treatment I got for my cervical disc replacement and cervical fusion surgery in India. I would be happy to recommend Forerunners Healthcare Consultants for getting the treatment in India. It was not less than a wonder treatment for me."
