Dr. Arvind Kulkarni's. Patient Reviews : Ralph Brandt's Lumbar Compression Recovery

Dr Arvind Kulkarni Bombay hospital Patient Experience

My name is Ralph Brandt from London; I had the fortunate opportunity to undergo Dr. Kulkarni's minimally invasive surgery in Mumbai to address my spinal nerve compression caused by a synovial cyst. This surgical experience has proven to be a resounding success on all fronts. Dr. Kulkarni's expertise in this specialized surgical approach, with a track record of performing over nine operations each week, demonstrates his exceptional skill in executing this technique, which is of paramount importance. One of the most striking aspects of this experience is the cost-effectiveness. The expenses incurred for this procedure in Mumbai amount to only one-sixth of what one would pay for a similar procedure in London, where minimally invasive techniques are scarce. For international patients like myself, the hospital's services extend beyond the surgical procedure.
