Mr.David Turner

David Turner was living in severe pain and felt that he could not wait out the long waiting period in the US hospital. He chose to have his surgery done at the JCI Accredited, Apollo Hospitals, India – Asia’s largest hospital group. His surgery was performed by Dr. Sajan K. Hegde, senior consultant spinal surgeon at Apollo Hospitals. Dr. Hegde has the distinction of having designed an anterior stabilisation spinal implant which was approved by FDA, and this implant is now used throughout the world.

The Apollo group hospitals are multi specialty tertiary care facilities with centers-of-excellence in medical disciplines including cardiology, cardio-thoracic surgery, gastroenterology, orthopedics & joint replacement surgery, neurology, critical care medicine, nephrology, oncology, hand & micro surgery and reproductive medicine.

The hospital has pioneered several cardiac and orthopedic procedures – including India’s first beating heart surgery in which the hospital maintains over 99Content-Dispositionuccess rate. The hospital is also the first in India to perform Lumbar Disc Replacement surgery, Total Knee Replacement surgery, Birmingham Hip Replacement Surgery and the Illizarov Procedure for limb lengthening. Across all specialties the hospital’s success record is on par if not better, than its counterparts in the West. This is largely due to the hospitals eminent team of specialist doctors and surgeons most of whom are trained in the US or UK and also its investment in the latest diagnostic equipment such as 64-Slice CT Scan, Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE), Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA), MRI, Linear Accelerator and Asia’s largest sleep lab (polysomnography).
