Medanta – The MedicityWatch Michael Turner share his experience in the video below
When 58-year-old Michael Turner from Manchester started experiencing crushing chest tightness on his morning walks, tests confirmed triple-vessel coronary artery disease. Facing a months-long wait and a six-figure private quote at home, his family began researching medical tourism and connected with Dr. Naresh Trehan at Medanta – The Medicity.
Dr. Trehan conducted a full cardiac work-up, including angiography, and recommended an urgent Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) to restore healthy blood flow to Michael's heart.
Throughout his medical journey, GD Healthcare provided comprehensive assistance, including:
- Reviewing his cardiac reports and matching him with the right specialist
- Coordinating a video consultation with Dr. Trehan before travel
- Arranging his medical visa and flight itinerary
- Airport pick-up and hotel stay for his wife during the surgery
- Daily updates to family back home throughout recovery
- Post-discharge rehabilitation planning before the flight home
The surgery took just under five hours, and Michael spent two days in the ICU before recovering on the cardiac ward. Three weeks later, he was cleared to fly home.
"From the moment we landed, everything was arranged — the airport pickup, the hospital admission, even a translator for the paperwork. Dr. Trehan personally walked me through every step."
Today, Michael walks three miles a day, something he hadn't managed in over a year, and the family still saved enough to put toward their daughter's wedding.
