Being a registered nurse in USA, I was very cautious for my discounted surgery abroad, after my thorough research on the internet, E-mail correspondences for three months and many phone calls later I made my informed decision for Lap Gastric band procedure and revision plastic cosmetic surgery for Tummy tuck- Abdominoplasty facilitated by Life Smile in India.

Life Smile put me in E-mail contact with my surgeons in India, we corresponded regularly, they answered all my health concerns and medical questions and I received all the pre-op instructions from my surgeons. Life Smile sent to me all the important information on India travel tips, weather conditions, country fact file, detailed visit itinerary, details on places of interest enroute the booked sight seeing tour, important English to Hindi language phrases, vaccinations required and details on all the important emergency phone numbers of the hospital, doctors, US Embassy in India and 24 X 7 Life Smile support services phone number. On my arrival at New Delhi, India, I was met and greeted by Life Smile representative at the International airport and we were transferred in a luxury SUV to our hotel, where our check-in was pre arranged with this began the whirlwind surgical tour package. We spent the next day acquiring Lab tests, X-rays, investigative procedures and consultations at the hospital in India, which was well equipped with all the modern and latest advanced medical equipments for diagnosis and treatment.

Then we toured in a luxury SUV with our own private driver and Life Smile representative as an escort, the 2 days Golden triangle tour package that includes a visit to Taj Mahal, Fort and Sikandara at Agra, Fatehpur Sikri, forts, lake and palaces at Jaipur was just fabulous. There is a lot of ancient and beautiful history to be seen and is well narrated by the trained tourist guides. After the tour, we checked into the hospital for pre-surgery screening and stay.

Life Smile representative stayed at the hospital and helped me with completing all the required pre-surgery formalities. The Indian hospital I was treated was the largest hospital outside USA and is ranked on the top of the best hospitals in Asia list. Next day, Life Smile representative waited out side the operation theatre all during my surgery and was there when I awoke in ICU. I have never had better care and attentiveness of the medical staff than I had at this Hospital. The surgeons were very professional but also came down to a level that a layperson could understand. Both of my surgeons had best professional credentials and experience, they were nice and friendly and had my health as their number one concern, my cosmetic plastic surgeon was US qualified and was trained with the best board certified cosmetic plastic surgeons in USA. Being a registered nurse in USA provided me with an analytical capacity and an opportunity to professionally observe the healthcare being provided to me and to understand and learn about the hospital and its healthcare concerns and conditions better than a layperson. This is why I say I was treated with respect, best of professional patient care and personal care, the hospital in India was clean, and all the staff was knowledgeable in their fields. The hospital I was at in New Delhi is accredited by the JCI (JCAHO- USA), the International commission based in USA which checks out hospitals for the best quality healthcare worldwide. If the hospital passes their strict quality checks, then they get the “seal of quality approval” from JCI. Everyone at the hospital from the cashiers to the housekeepers to the nurses and doctors spoke good English and made me feel right at home. My son, who was with me even said the hospital food was delicious.

The budget hotel we were staying at New Delhi, India was a small, clean and peaceful hotel facing a park and an adjoining church which always provided me with a divine grace of health and peace, i enjoyed my morning and evening walks with flowers, birds, butterflies, tall tress and a pleasant weather. The staff at the hotel was always helpful providing excellent service, Life Smile had provided the post-operative dietary chart prepared by my hospital dietician to the round-the-clock kitchen at the hotel and I was served with all the recommended liquid diet every hour in my comfort of my room, my son loved and enjoyed the delicious recipes offered by the hotel restaurant. Life Smile representative visited us everyday during our stay at the hospital and the hotel and ensured that we were always comfortable at the hotel, Life Smile arranged for all the supply of the medicines- drugs, packaged juices recommended to me as the post-surgery diet and they even arranged a three days Henna (temporary Indian Tattoo) training session at the comfort of my hotel room. We were always in touch with our family and friends back home in USA through the personal cell phone facility provided by Life Smile, Life Smile also arranged for an escorted tour to local markets at New Delhi for shopping at a handicrafts bazaar and modern malls where me and my son did a lot of shopping for beautifully crafted and equally useful Indian handicrafts, clothes and artificial jewelry, the costs were amazingly and pleasantly down-to-earth. The local New Delhi tour facilitated by Life Smile included a visit to Sky-kissing ancient astronomy tower of Qutab-Minar, the spiritual experience at the marble wonder of Lotus Temple, the royal grandeur of the ancient Red Fort, grand war memorial of India Gate, the round shaped red stone building of the India parliament, beautiful grand campus of the President’s palace and the administrative blocks surrounding it everything was just unforgettable.

I am very confident of the excellent quality of the healthcare in India and would not hesitate to have more surgery in India or dental in India or vision done in India facilitated by Life Smile with their excellent services and all of their care, guidance and most importantly their trustworthy presence. I highly recommend the cost-comfort medical surgery treatment packages facilitated by Life Smile in India.

I am a practicing Eye specialist doctor- an Ophthalmologist. After trying every diet plan and weight loss product I had ever heard of, and spending loads of my hard-earned money in the process, i was making no progress with losing weight and keeping it off. In fact for about 15 years I was steadily gaining more and more weight. By my 54th birthday, I was morbidly obese on my 5 feet 10 inches frame. I was very unhappy about this and I knew I needed to explore other possibilities for weight loss, especially with a very strong family history of Diabetes Mellitus.

After thorough research for solutions, i chose Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding surgery overseas in India, a country very well known for well trained medical professionals and world-class medical facilities, providing reliable healthcare at affordable cost- at a mere fraction of the cost in USA. Being a doctor my self, choosing an overseas destination for my own surgery was a difficult decision initially. I had many questions, selecting India for it came as a very natural choice due to its famed healthcare, and detailed, reassuring information from Life Smile.

In December of 2006, with excellent healthcare tour facilitation by Life Smile, i had a complication free, Laparoscopic Gastric Banding procedure performed in India by the best experienced Laparoscopy surgeon at an internationally accredited hospital. I regard my obesity surgery as the best investment I have ever made. Since my surgery, I have lost weight, I am healthier, happier, slimmer, and look younger. I am also saving money on diets that ultimately don’t work, and on future treatments on the co- morbidities that would surely have developed with my obesity- Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, heart Disease, etc.

During my recuperation period I got an appointment with a cosmetic dentist through Life Smile in India, I visited his modern, well equipped clinic and got a single session teeth whitening by latest advanced technology at an amazingly low cost.

The staff of Life Smile were honest and upfront about all patient care service costs, efficient, very kind, very caring, and made a potentially scary trip extremely rewarding. They booked my hotel ahead of time, met me at the airport, arranged all my hospital appointments, liaised with my doctors throughout and arranged us sightseeing and shopping trips. By the end of my stay, I and the staff at Life Smile had become very good friends.

Thank you Life Smile for filling healthful joy and smiles in my life. While leaving this beautiful country- India in best of my health, I am still to believe that I was in India with in a week of initiating the medical tour process with you for my surgery. Never imagined all of it to be that much easy process with Life Smile, right from medical records evaluation to the prompt expert opinion from the specialist private doctors, from online medical consultations to booking surgery treatment date to travel, transfers, hotel stay arrangements and recuperation in absolute privacy. Thanks for providing me with the best of health care services, excellent US trained surgery team, the best caring nursing team for English patient care and the most advanced health care technology. Heart full of blessings for being my best friend in India, always holding my hands with care and love, guiding me at every step of my medical tour, you were my and my family's greatest support all through.

At first i was skeptical about having surgery in India, but surprisingly enough the healthcare service was excellent, at the hospital not only were the rooms air conditioned they were also VERY clean. I preferred to stay at the hospital during my entire stay in India and was a very nice experience with the kind of best professional medical treatment and the touch of personal care provided. I enjoyed my recovery time watching cable TV with my favorite English language international channels, sleeping, reading and eating, which was excellent for me. I would definitely recommend traveling to India for surgery it’s cheaper and the results are brilliant.

I would like to come back soon and have my jaw surgery done facilitated excellently by Life Smile.
