I visited India in January 2008 for a Gastric Bypass procedure. My surgery was performed at the Wockhardt hospital in Mumbai. My surgeon Dr. Ramen Goel was excellent as was the nursing and support staff at the hospital. Wockhardt Hospital has very good and modern facilities. Recover Discover healthcare assisted me with my procedure and patiently handled all my queries over a six month period while I was in touch with them. Overall my experience with Recover Discover and Wockhardt has been very positive and I would recommend them to anyone who is planning to go overseas for medical attention. V.K., Chicago, USA

I used the services of Recover Discover Healthcare for arranging my liposuction and breast reduction surgeries. All my queries were responded to in a timely and efficient manner. Whatever information that I needed was made available to me. Recover Discover Healthcare arranged my surgeries at the Fortis Hospital at Mohali near Chandigarh. My surgeon Dr. K M Kapoor was excellent, caring and had exceptional ability to listen to all my queries and concerns. The nursing staff was very courteous and caring. The hospital had state of the art facilities. Recover Discover has an excellent system of handling patient queries and co-ordination with their affiliate hospitals. Atul Bahl was always available to answer all my questions. I would heartily recommend using Recover Discover to anyone who is considering undergoing surgery in India....R.J., Mauritius
