In 2018, I started experiencing irritation in the gluteal cleft area which was frequently misdiagnosed by top doctors in Chicago as a sweat rash. When the condition did not resolve, I went to a proctologist who correctly stated that it was indeed a fistula. I sought a second opinion which confirmed my fears. However I was amazed to discover that in the USA, all top doctors were practicing only one procedure for this condition – Fistulotomy. They had heard about the use of laser in correcting this condition but none had any experience with it. When I researched peer reviewed scientific papers on the latest procedures that would preserve the sphincter muscle, Fistula-tract Laser Closure (FiLaC™) and Dr. Porwal’s own DLPL technique came up. In addition, there were some videos of DLPL technique being performed by Dr. Ash on YouTube. While I found doctors performing FiLaC in Brazil and Germany, Dr. Porwal’s own DLPL procedure sounded more cutting edge and promising but I was apprehensive about visiting India and the logistical issues associated with travelling to the other side of the world. However after lengthy conversation with him and his staff, all my fears were squashed and I booked a surgery date with him. When I arrived, I was simply amazed. I can’t begin to describe the level professionalism with which Dr. Porwal and his staff conduct themselves. The Clinic is just as awesome as any other high level medical facility in Chicago but that is not what impressed me as much. It was Dr. Porwal’s bedside etiquette, skill, and professionalism that blew me away. The evaluation and the cutting edge DLPL procedure were all done in one day and the results were highly successful. The post-operative care that I received from Dr. Porwal personally, during the whole month that I stayed in India (my choice) was astonishing. He is a genius and a perfectionist. It wasn’t just the Fistula that he eradicated. He also fixed any other problems in the area to make sure no future complications arose. He contacted me every day and if I wanted to see him, the appointment was arranged immediately. Long story short, I’m cured for life. As Americans, we often have preconceived notions about other countries and their health care standards. **** ** **** ** ****** ****** ** ****** *** ******* **** ******** ** ********* **** ******** ****** *** ****** One only finds that out when he steps out of his comfort zone.

We came here to Healing Hands From Jawhar, near Palghar. We have consulted number of hospitals and doctors before coming here.
We online searched for more options and came across Dr. Porwal sir videos. We found all of them and the methods were quiet comforting .We thought of trying to contact atleast atleast once. We called and Dr. Namita received the call. She counseled us. And gave us detailed information about the treatment procedures. She cleared all the doubts.
After coming here today we found everything that was visible online. Actually a much better version of it. We came from a lot distance so we were taken care of everything.
In our previous experience we had to run at different places for blood tests and MRI scans. Here we didi not had to run for anything anywhere.
Most importantly we were specially taken care by Healing Hands Foundation. Yes, we are not financially stable post pandemic . We spoke to Dr. Namita about it.
She managed everything for us. It was really unexpected that under charity patients are also treated equally like VIP patients. We did not have to move even a needle here(just a phrase).
I mean they all took care of of us so nicely. I'm expressing this because I do not want others to be misguided to others . Yes Healing Hands provide you what they promise. The system that works here is like on auto mode who know what patient and relative actually needs. They do not only care for patient but also provide comfort to relative as well.
Wonderful experience. Im happy to see and witness such hospital and its hospitality here.
Once again
Thanks to Dr. Ashwin Porwal, Dr. Namita, Dr. Varsha, Sisters and Dr. Manisha madam and Foundation's Tejashri madam. All staff and mama's and maushi each and every person.
These all people helped him to cure before going home.
Fistula is serious thing, and it should be taken seriously. I really loved that Foundation is also working towards awareness of such health conditions. These issues needs to come in focus and must be normalised to speak about. As only the one who suffers know the pain.
Kudos to the team and Healing Hands Family

Hi all of you. I am sharing on behlf of Kisan Tukaram Kale residing at SHRIGONDA, Ahmednagar. I suffering from a strong pain of Fistula disease since last many days. Actually I was not aware about
such kind of disease before consult and visit to HEALING HANDS CLINIC, PUNE.
I want to share my real experience with this clinic's diagnose method, IPD treatment facilities, Cooperation of hospital's all team and staff members.
I just want to say only one thing all of these was TREMENDOUS and FABULOUS.IM SHARING FROM MY BOTTOM OF MY HEART THAT, ASMITA MADAM AND DR. PARTH ARE SO KIND CALM AND COMPOSED. Told about the health condition, explained it thoroughly and guidance was exact on point.
Because of I am from very poor family ( having agriculture background ) and I don't think so that is I will be bare this operation treatment cost or not.
But due to the well and neatly guidance of staff member's I have decided to do my FISTULA surgery here.
I want to request to all of those patients who are suffering from such kind of diseases like FISSURE, FISTULA, HERNIA, PILES please don't be shy to openly discussed on these.
Because if we can earlier going to hospital and have a treatment on these, so we don't need to operate it. Without any delay we should cover/control it with the help at accurate time only. So let's start to discuss on this and try to avoid major issues that may arise in future.
ONE MOST AND IMPORTANT THING IS THAT WE DID THESE SURGRY (FISTULA) UNDER THE KIND SUPPORT OF HEALING HANDS FOUNDATION AND RELEASED AND MADE US FEEL FROM FINANCIAL BURDON ALSO.
Thanks much once again to entire team of HEALING HANDS CLINIC and FOUNDATION , PUNE.
If anyone wants to further information regarding this please feel free to call me ** ** ******* ****** **********
Thanks.
