I am a medical student from Pakistan, currently in my 2nd year. I found out that I have scoliosis 7 months ago when I was going to have my septoplasty. The chest x rays showed an unusual curve in my spine. Being a medical student I knew right away what I was seeing.
This curve was an S curve and it was a big one. I started going to a lot of doctors but I wasn’t really satisfied.
My uncle who lives in the uk got me in touch with Mr Ranganathan. My case was discussed and as I was told by every other doctor in my own country, Mr Ranganathan agreed that I needed surgery for the correction of my curve. I remember having my first call with Mr Ranganathan, I was at once at ease. It was as if I knew I was in safe hands. I know how busy doctors are and being a spinal surgeon you barely have any time. Mr Ranganathan was very polite and he discussed all the minor details and everything. Being so far away physically I was not at all stressed. I was in touch with Mr Ranganathan on a daily basis through whatsapp. He personally told me everything I was supposed to do and things I had to avoid before the operation. I came to London in January and my operation took place on 20th January at the Princess Grace hospital. It was a 6 hour long procedure. I was in the ICTU for a day then I was shifted to the ward where I stayed for 6 days. I was discharged on 27th January. The operation was a complete success. I was walking,sitting,talking,eating on my own,going to the bathroom. My wound was a very fine thin scar, I’m on my road to recovery. I’m thank ful to Mr Ranganathan who took care of everything and was always there. Being a medical student I know how hard it is for surgeons to always be available but the amount of care and time I got from Mr Ranganathan and his whole team was incredible.
I would highly recommend Mr Arun Ranganathan not only because he is one of the best surgeons out there in the uk,but also because he is one of the most humble and down to earth human being you will ever meet.
