Patient Name: Michael Dike

Patient From: Nigeria

Condition Suffering From: Heart Condition

Treatment/Procedure: Heart Procedure

Doctor/Surgeon: Dr. M. R. Girinath – Cardiothoracic Surgeon

Hospital: Apollo Hospital, Chennai

Mr. Michael Dike came to India to get the right treatment for his mother. His 81-year old mother was suffering Eye and Spinal problems for quite some time. Considering her age, it was important that she is dealt with by expert hands. Despite getting some treatment in Nigeria, the condition of his mother did not improve. Michael got the reference about Apollo from a friend, who had undergone a treatment in this hospital. He was very happy with his treatment and recommended Michael to take his mother to Apollo Hospital in Chennai, India.

Having heard such great reviews, Michael did not waste any time and immediately did all the arrangements to get an appointment for his mother. In India, his mother underwent three procedures – Spinal Decompression and two eye surgeries – and all of them successful. She recovered very nicely and was looked after very well by the surgeons and the staff members.

While his mother was here, Michael got an opportunity to meet other international patients who get treatment at Apollo. They shared their experience with him and recommended him to go through a full body check-up while he was in such an advanced hospital. Michael says that during his check-up he also went through some scans, one of which revealed that he had a Heart problem. It was surprising because he didn’t know this till that moment. He was referred to Dr. M. R. Giriraj, one of the most experienced hands in the field of Cardiology in India. Till date, he has successfully cured several Heart patients and also trained many Cardiac Surgeons.

Dr.Giriraj assured Michael that there was not much to worry, and his condition is treatable. Michael found him very friendly and the way he interacted with Michael was very warm. The surgeon along with his team performed a totally complication-free Heart procedure on Michael. He had a very smooth recovery and is extremely thankful to Dr.Giriraj for this. While Michael was undergoing treatment, his mother was discharged and was taken back to Nigeria. She is doing very well now and Michael thanks the whole Apollo team for their effort and dedication. So, what was a treatment journey for his mother, turned out to be a life-saving journey for Michael as well.

Thank you,
