Patient Story – Mr Jim Roger from USA says -“I’m happy that I got it done here in India , the more we read and learned about HIFU, the more convinced we were that it was the best option. The hospital was clean and staffed by excellent medical staff and in a few hours, I was on my way back to the hotel. No pain, no surgery, no radiation, no hormones, no down-time. My wife laughs and says I am no longer hunting for the nearest restroom when we are out shopping. I was worried about the cost of the procedure, but when one considers the positive results, the price is reasonable. This procedure saved my life, got rid of my cancer, and made it possible for me to retain the life-style I was enjoying before the diagnosis.
