Patient Stories for Dr. Ashwin Porwal
Visited For Colorectal Surgery
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfaction
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. I did, and now I know better.
