I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Neeraj Godara for successfully performing my flexor tendon surgery and guiding me through recovery with such expertise and compassion.
On August 15, 2024, while flying a kite, I accidentally sliced my finger with the kite thread. I got local first aid and dressing for the wound. However, after 10 days, when the wound seemed to heal, I noticed that I was unable to curl the upper joint of my finger (the DIP joint). Concerned, I began researching and discovered that this was likely due to a tendon tear. To make matters worse, I also couldn’t feel sensations in certain parts of my finger, which pointed to potential ulnar nerve damage.
I consulted a nearby doctor and got an MRI done. The results confirmed a complete tear of the tendons, and surgery was the only way to regain function. This news was distressing, and I started exploring the best hand surgeons in Delhi NCR. I visited several prominent hospitals in Noida but didn’t get much assurance from the doctors. Many even cautioned about the possibility of internal scarring in the finger, which added to my anxiety.
While searching online, I came across Dr. Neeraj Godara, who had outstanding reviews. I shared my findings with my father, and we decided to consult him. From the first visit, Dr. Godara stood out with his confidence and reassurance. He told me, “Leave it to me. I guarantee you 80% recovery.” His words gave me immense hope, and I instantly decided to go ahead with the surgery under his care.
On September 11, 2024, Dr. Godara performed my surgery. Post-surgery, he continued to support and guide me during my recovery. After a month, I began finger exercises, and although tendon healing takes a long time, I was amazed by the progress. In just one month of exercises, I regained strength in the upper part of my finger, which was previously unresponsive. I can now curl my upper joint and it’s improving day by day.
From my research, I learned that even after surgery, motion in the affected joint isn’t always guaranteed. I came across a video of someone in the U.S. who couldn’t move their finger even after six months of therapy. Naturally, I was worried about my own recovery. But under Dr. Godara’s care, I am seeing remarkable progress, and my confidence has been restored.
Sir comforted me during every step of this stressful journey, from surgery to therapy. I cannot express in words how much I appreciate him and the positive change he’s bringing to the lives of his patients.
If you are dealing with a similar injury or need a skilled hand surgeon, I highly, highly recommend Dr. Neeraj Godara. His expertise and care are unparalleled.
Dr. Godara, I genuinely cannot express in words how grateful I feel for you. Thank you for giving me hope and helping me recover from such a challenging time in my life.
