Russian Patient Anatoly Talks About His Positive Experience With Best Cardiac Surgeon in Mumbai

Anatoly Smirnov from Russia visited India to get heart surgery done. Read the complete story to read about his journey to India.

“Here is my little history: Around age nine, I was diagnosed with a heart murmur and an enlarged heart. Throughout my adult life, even though I had many doctors listen to my heart in routine checkups, nobody ever mentioned my mitral valve, nor did I’ve signs.

Then about seventeen years ago, having just gotten married, I went for a first visit to my brother-in-law, MD, a Cardiologist. He listened to my heart with a stethoscope and said I had Mitral Valve Prolapse. Similarly exams revealed that there was no regurgitation – till approximately years in the past, once I started feeling shortness of breath doing normal activities. Seldom people talk about what goes through a family when the head, the male gets ill. Situations like these can take a toll on the financial, mental and physical state of the family, making them vulnerable. This story is of an independent wife, Mrs. Taya Smirnov, who works at a Russian Airline that took the lead and made sure that her husband receives the best medical care in the world.

Anatoly was experiencing intense pain in his heart, which he complained about a couple of times before it started getting worse. He was taken to the hospitals in Russia, but the doctors there told them that they can't do anything to help his condition. However, Taya didn’t take no as an answer and started looking for other options. Their family had an office branch in Uzbekistan where they met a few people who talked to them about considering India for the treatment.

Hopeful, she started searching for best cardiac surgeons in India.She didn’t waste any time to contact the company, and after discussing the matters and sharing the reports, she was given good news. The executive team of Indian health guru suggested them to come down to Mumbai, India, to get treated by best cardiac surgeons in Mumbai as they are considered the most experienced around India.

We were thoroughly assisted by Indian health guru consultant in getting a medical visa to Mumbai, India. To begin with, we needed a Visa Invitation Letter from the cardiac surgeon to apply for a visa, which was arranged by the case manager. The accommodation was arranged near the hospital as per her requirements for a comfortable stay. After the completion of all the paperwork, we finally arrived to Mumbai. 

He was relaxed, gracious and confident that he could help me. Having done much research and consulting with my brother-in-law and his partner, I am convinced that had I gone to a surgeon other than Mumbai, I would have had a valve replacement instead of a repair. That’s because during the surgery, my cardiac surgeon discovered I had a congenital defect, a double cleft, in my Mitral Valve. What the cardiac surgeon repaired would have been replaced in the hands of a lesser surgeon. From my first visit to my last, the treatment I received from the Best Cardiac Surgeons in Mumbai and his team always made me feel I was in excellent care .I am deeply grateful to Indian health guru who operated on me for his expertise and care. He practices both the science and the art of cardiac surgical operation.

The entire team of Indian health guru consultant was kind and caring. Before coming to Mumbai, India, I was not sure of Mumbai citizens, but after visiting I realized that they are very good and caring people. I would recommend anyone who has a heart problem to get treated by best cardiac surgeons. Everything will be taken care of. Indian Health Guru Consultant is a trustworthy friend if you want to get treatment in India. Thank you for arranging everything with perfection. “
Sincerely,

Mr & Mrs. Smirnov
