Dr. B Mohapatra conducted a spine surgery successfully.

 

Prem Anand is a 64 years old woman from Fiji who was suffering from severe back pain and frequent pain and swelling in the legs since 2010. After consultation with a local physician in Fiji, she came to know that she was suffering from osteoarthritis in the lower part of the spinal cord. She tried several possible treatments including physiotherapy and laser pain therapy, but all in vain. Instead, her symptoms started getting worse. This was when she decided to visit India to get a permanent solution to her problems.  

 

While Prem Anand was searching through the websites to find the best spine surgery hospitals in India for her treatment at the best prices, she found out about Vaidam Health. She posted his query on the website, soon after which she was contacted by a case manager from Vaidam. The case manager helped her get opinions from some of the best spine surgeons in India. Ultimately, the patient was able to decide that he would visit the Indian Spinal Injuries Center, New Delhi for the treatment.

After getting the entire paperwork done, the patient arrived in India on 19th January 2019. She was received by a member of Vaidam Team from the airport and taken to the hotel. Shortly, her appointment was fixed with Dr. B Mohapatra, who is counted amongst the finest spine surgeons of India. She still had pain in the low back and the leg during the appointment. He took a case history along with detailed investigations,  he confirmed that the patient would need spine surgery. Before starting the procedure, Dr. Mohapatra ordered some blood test required prior to the surgery.

 

In a short period of time, the patient was done with the surgery successfully. The doctor counseled her in detail about the lifestyle changes that she needed to make. Ultimately she returned back on 18th February 2019. When recently contacted, she told Vaidam team that she was able to perform all kinds of physical activity. She now smiles and laughs more with friends and family without any hesitation.

 

Vaidam wishes her great health ahead in life.
