Ms. Ajai Kumar Srivastava
I am a 58 year old mechanical engineer was suffering from O/A since 2018. I visited Dr. Manish Samson for robotic assisted bilateral TKR Surgery. Both knee surgeries were performed on 10.08.24 and 12.08.24. Besides a few initial hardships, now after one month I am feeling much relaxed and slowly started walking and climbing stairs independently. I am thankful to Dr Manish Samson for his kind support and advice in my whole medical journey. I found him to be an excellent surgeon and kind human being

Real Story Of Healing
I had 3-4 fibroids causing heavy, prolonged menstruation, making me weak. Despite consulting many gynecologists who suggested a hysterectomy, I opted for UFE with Dr. Rohit Madhurkar. He patiently explained the procedure, addressing all my doubts. Though initially skeptical due to other doctors' discouragement, UFE provided immediate relief, and my periods became regular and moderate. I highly recommend considering UFE as an alternative to hysterectomy for benign fibroids, as it offers effective relief without invasive surgery.
