My wife, Mrs. Deepika, began experiencing severe and persistent stomach pain in January 2025. Initially, we thought it might be a minor gastric issue, but as weeks passed, the pain became more frequent and intense, disrupting her daily activities and quality of life. Concerned about her health, we consulted several reputed gastroenterologists and followed their prescribed treatments over the next few months. Unfortunately, despite undergoing multiple tests and trying different medications, there was no significant improvement in her condition.
On April 11, 2025, Mrs. Deepika experienced an episode of excruciating pain that was unbearable. Fearing something serious, we rushed her to Isabel Hospital, Mylapore, for emergency treatment. After initial management there, we continued seeking opinions and further consultations at Military Hospital, Guindy, and Apollo Hospitals, OMR. Although she was provided temporary relief, the root cause of the problem remained unclear, and the intense pain kept recurring.
Amidst growing worry, we heard about Dr. Kenny Robert, a well-known Surgical Oncologist at Meridien Hospitals, Kolathur. We decided to consult him and visited him on April 14, 2025. From the moment we met Dr. Kenny, we felt a sense of assurance. He carefully reviewed all previous investigation reports, patiently listened to the history of symptoms, and explained his observations in a way that was both professional and easy to understand. He identified that the actual problem was the presence of multiple gallstones in the gallbladder, causing inflammation and severe pain. Dr. Kenny clearly explained the surgical procedure (cholecystectomy – removal of the gallbladder), the associated risks, the steps involved in the surgery, and the timeline for hospitalization and recovery.
With complete confidence in his approach, Mrs. Deepika underwent laparoscopic gallbladder surgery on April 16, 2025. Thanks to Dr. Kenny’s surgical expertise and the hospital's excellent care, the procedure was successfully completed without complications. She was kept under close observation in the hospital for two days to monitor her recovery. Throughout this period, Dr. Kenny and his team were attentive, regularly checking her progress and providing timely updates, which gave us immense peace of mind.
Mrs. Deepika was discharged on April 18, 2025, and has since been recovering steadily at home. She is regaining her strength day by day and is on her way to a full and fast recovery.
We are extremely grateful to Dr. Kenny Robert and his entire team for their expertise, care, and support. Dr. Kenny’s approachable nature, clear communication, and dedication made a very difficult time much easier for us.
Highly recommended for surgical oncology and gallbladder-related treatments.
