Dear Dr. Modi,
I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the extraordinary care and surgical expertise you provided to my 82-year-old father-in-law during one of the most challenging times for our family.
When IDear Dr. Modi,
I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the extraordinary care and surgical expertise you provided to my 82-year-old father-in-law during one of the most challenging times for our family.
When I received the news that my father-in-law had suffered a fall in Surat and was left immobile due to significant spinal cord compression at both the cervical and lumbar levels, I knew the situation was critical. As a medical professional myself, I was fully aware that given his advanced age and multiple health issues, he would not be able to tolerate two separate major surgeries. A single-stage, combined cervical and lumbar surgery was the only real option to give him a chance at regaining mobility.
However, having lived outside India since long time , I was unsure whether such a complex dual surgery could be performed efficiently in Gujarat. Initially, I considered transferring him to Bangalore or Mumbai, but his unstable spinal condition made long-distance travel extremely risky. Moreover, thinking of his ongoing care and follow-up, the family strongly urged me to find a solution closer to home.
Amidst this dilemma, I turned to an online search and, by sheer good fortune, came across your name. I first tried contacting one of the most reputed spine hospitals in Ahmedabad, but despite several attempts, no one answered the phone. In contrast, when I called you, you personally answered the call right away, even though it was early morning. You listened patiently as I explained the urgent situation, and with calm confidence, you assured me that you could perform both surgeries in one sitting—and that my father-in-law could expect to start mobilizing as early as the next day.
That moment of reassurance meant the world to us. We immediately followed your advice and went to Zydus Hospital Ahmedabad. Despite our late-night arrival, your junior doctor was there to meet us promptly, reflecting your team's dedication and professionalism.
On the day of surgery, we were naturally anxious, given the high risks involved. But your clear communication, compassionate approach, and willingness to address all our concerns gave us comfort. The surgery itself was technically demanding and delicate, yet your skill and precision shone through.
I am truly impressed by your outstanding expertise in handling such a complex and high-risk case. Performing both cervical pedicle screw fixation and lumbar spine fixation surgery simultaneously on my 82-year-old father-in-law—who is battling osteoporosis, diabetes, and recently diagnosed metastatic cancer—was no small feat. Your skill, confidence, and ability to manage such a delicate procedure with precision are truly commendable.
We are now relieved and grateful to see my father-in-law making steady progress in his recovery. His mobility has improved significantly, and his overall comfort and quality of life have taken a positive turn.
What stood out most—beyond your surgical expertise—was your empathy and genuine concern for our family’s emotional well-being throughout this journey. You patiently answered every question, addressed every fear, and gave us hope when we needed it most.
I am also deeply impressed by the advanced medical technology and world-class standards of care available right here in India—on par with international benchmarks.
Dr. Modi, words cannot fully capture how thankful we are for your dedication, skill, and humanity.
You gave my father-in-law not just mobility—but dignity and quality of life back.
