good orthopedic surgeon?

Question

I need hip surgery, and eventually knee surgery. How can I get a medical background search that tells me the the history of surgeries done. (good and bad} Anyone know where I can get a rating? I live in the chicagoland area Thanks

Answer 1

The price of orthopaedics surgery is very low in India as compared to USA, UK and Canada. There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges surgery for foreigners in India. They are called the Fly2india4health Consultants. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. I have also read that they arrange financing for international patients, as all surgery is not covered by insurance or by the stinking NHS.

They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. The cost savings are incredible. As a doctor I personally believe that your knee joint surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of Healthcare available here is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

My cousin got her Knee Joint surgery done there and she is more than very happy with the results. She is all praise for Fly2india4health Consultants. She paid just 20% of the cost what she was quoted in USA and it was like a wonderful vacation for her. Hope this helps

Finding a qualified Orthopedic Surgeon is very important,as you have plan for both Hip Surgery and eventually Knee Surgery. Similarly you can look for less expensive and quality medical procedure.

If you are really worried about your medical budget, you can plan for Medical Tourism. Medical Tourism is the act of traveling abroad to receive medical care. Some patients 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.
