“Dr
Mazda has not only restored my mobility but has also made it possible to gain
my livelihood back by returning to work. A heartfelt and big thank you to
Wockhardt Hospital “
My name is
Lucy Mhlanga, a 57 year old female from Zimbabwe Bulawayo. I was diagnosed with
herniated disc in March of 2017 and my condition progressively grew worse to
the extent that I was bed ridden and could hardly sit or walk even with the use
of a walker. I was considering retiring on medical grounds as I was constantly
on sick leave due to my condition.
I was then
put in touch with Dr Mazda Turel a neurosurgeon in Wockhardt Hospital, Mumbai
Central in India in August of 2018. Dr Turel after reviewing my case performed
a decompression operation using a minimally invasive method. My relief from leg
and back pain after the operation was almost immediate and I could walk and sit once
more. Within a week after the op I am back to my normal activities. Surprising
thing is there is no pain at all at the point of incision where the op was
carried out.
Dr Mazda Turel assisted not only in performing the op but also with the recovery process
as well due to the confidence he exuded and encouragement that he gave me. He
was especially caring and visited daily post op to assess my condition. Not
only Dr Mazda was caring but the entire medical team as well. From the
operating theatre to the ward care, they made me feel that I was in safe hands,
making the hospital stay less apprehensive and extremely pleasant.
After the
surgery I returned once more to my teaching job that I dearly love pain free
and feel like a whole new person thanks to the team at Wockhardt Hospital .

“No words
can ever communicate our gratitude to Dr. Mazda and the entire Wockhardt staff,
the nurses, from the housekeeping, kitchen staff, the nurses, Dr. Mazda and his
team, we say thank you, thank you very much. “
“My sister
Lucy was admitted at Wockhardt hospital, Mumbai Central for a laminectomy procedure. I had accompanied her and right from the outset I was thoroughly
impressed at the efficiency and dedication of the staff at the hospital. On
arrival at the hospital her pre-operative tests were swiftly done and by
evening she was pronounced fit for surgery the next morning. Dr. Mazda Turel, a
neurosurgeon at the hospital, explained the procedure in detail and easily
understandable language. Possible complications were also explained before and
we were asked to sign the consent. The hospital also provided us with
procedural details, including estimated time before going into the OR,
approximate length of surgery, and estimated length of time before coming to
the ward.
I was
anxious waiting for her outside the Operation Theatre but I was reassured and
supported by the nursed and staff members. We were made to feel special and
were looked after very well. The hospital was very generous with their meals. I
was also given a complimentary health assessment. I did not line up for long
and was fast tracked through all processes. My results were out by the end of
the day and I was seen the next day. Waiting for your relative at the hospital
can be very stressful, so I was pleased that I could complete by work whilst
waiting due to the fast internet services at the hospital.
Dr. Mazda Turel is a renowned neurosurgeon at Wockhardt Hospital .He is a very
experienced doctor and after meeting him I had full faith and confidence in her
surgery. Dr. Mazda had given her the best birthday gift ever after her
operation, that she could move her foot. Dr. Mazda was very encouraging and
reassuring at all times during his visits. Lucy had many anxieties about her
recovery, even if she did not verbalize them and he gave her the confidence
that she was doing well. Post operatively the nurses looked after Lucy very
well. When Lucy woke up in The ICU and triggered a terrifying asthmatic attackshe could not communicate that she could not breathe. The nursing staff held
her hand and did not let go till she was comfortable. All the nursing staff was
supportive but I would specially like to mention and thank Sister Joseph .She
was pleasant and when Lucy could not breathe, she just smiled and kept
reassuring her that she would feel better soon. The compassion and support
motivated Lucy to get better.
After her
surgery the pain subsided and as soon as she started walking, her foot which
was numb began to have some sensation and it was exciting to watch her walk
after being bed ridden for almost four months. Lucy can now take a shower
easily and stand on her left foot. It’s been an awesome experience to watch and
be part of this healing. I am grateful to Wockhardt Hospital for transforming
Lucy’s life and restoring her livelihood.
