I attended St. Marys hospital, Lindo Wing, for an incisional and inguinal hernia surgery. I met with Dr. Krishna Moorthy who explained in detail what the surgery would entail, how he intended to perform the surgery and the recovery process. His detailed explanations and very personable yet professional manner left me in no doubt I had choosen the right hospital and felt very lucky I had been assigned Dr. Moorthy for the operation. On the day of the operation, both Dr. Moorthy and Dr Helgi Johannsson, the anesthesiologist, came to my room to go over details of the upcoming surgery, and left me feeling very relaxed and actually looking forward to getting the operation. The only concern I had was in getting an epidural immediately before the operation, as I had received one years before in another hosiptal which was quite painful, but Dr Helgi Johannsson's administration of the epidural was completely painless, so obviously he is a very professional and highly qualified doctor. The operation was a complete success, and Dr. Moorthy kindly called the people that came to the hospital with me to notify them when the operation was finished and they could come back to see me. The recovery process for the few days in the hospital went very well, with Dr. Moorthy even coming in on the weekend to check up on my progress personally. The entire staff in the Lindo Wing, too many to name individually, were fantastic, keeping a constant check on me, making sure my pain was kept under control, the food was also very good. After leaving the hospital, Dr. Moorthy kept in contact to see how I was progressing.
I have to mention that I travelled to St. Marys from Ireland, as they were unwilling in Ireland to perform the operation, given the complexity due to the fact I also have stage 4 liver cancer, but Dr. Moorthy had experience in these cases and as I already mentioned, the operation was a complete success. I cannot say enough good things about all the staff in the Lindo Wing, how they looked after me, and especially Dr. Moorthy who made me feel completely relaxed about having the surgery, and his personal attention and care while I was there, and of course Dr. Helgi Johannsson the anesthesiologist, who explained very well in detail before the operation and his painless administration of the epidural.
I would recommend very very highly the Lindo Wing of St. Marys for any procedure.
