Success Stories

Hi, my name is Charul.H.Doshi. I am 47 years old. I reside at Rajkot, Gujarat. Recently I had a complete knee joint replacement operation done by Dr.Sanjeev Jain at Hiranandani hospital, Powai, Mumbai. As you see, my age is 47 years and a knee replacement?! Well all this started about 6-7 years back. I started having pain in my left knee. I consulted an orthopedic doctor and he put me on medication and physiotherapy. I was alright for some time. Then again the same problem occurred. I consulted 3-4 doctors in duration of time. Each said I needed a knee replacement but I was too young for it.

Then started the main problem. I started giving up going to parties where I would have to spend a lot of time standing. I avoided malls and cinema complexes where I would have to walk a lot. My husband used to get upset as I avoided going to marriage and reception functions just because parties were a nightmare to me. Everyone knows how much walking that needs. Even my children who were in their early teens at that time started getting annoyed with me as I stopped going shopping with them. I felt depressed and even cursed myself feeling I was not capable of handling my social responsibilities. I also started taking painkillers as they became necessary.

For the last two years I was suffering quite a lot. At this time I started thinking of operation seriously. My husband was a great support for me. He used to say that by delaying the operation I was only giving up my present years for the future. It was because of his support that I started looking for a doctor with whom I would be satisfied. I visited quite a few doctors and hospitals. But I could not find myself at ease with any of them. It was at that time that I met a person who was related to my relative who had a knee replacement operation at L.H.Hiranandani hospital by Dr. Sanjeev Jain.

My husband and I went to Mumbai to consult him. I had never been to L.H.Hiranandani hospital before. It was a very pleasant experience for me. The hospital, the staff, and the surroundings everything was up-to-date. Then I met Dr.Sanjeev Jain. The meeting with Dr.Sanjeev Jain was a very pleasant experience and gave me the courage to go ahead with the operation. I got admitted to the hospital. The whole staff supporting Dr. Jain in the operation i.e., the nurses, junior doctors, the anesthetist, etc. came to meet me one by one and put me at ease about the operation. The dietitian, the caretakers, the nurses, and the physiotherapist everyone was very warm and helpful.

In short I am glad that I choseDr Sanjeev Jain for my operation. And a message to all patients who are suffering from knee pain at a young age. My opinion is that it is better to have the operation done than to suffer. My special thanks to Dr.Sanjeev Jain for giving me a pain free life.
