Patient Testimonial - Acute Calculus Cholecystitis

About Bhikchand Parikh's Treatment

Mr Bhikchand Parikh came to Medicover Hospitals, Nashik, with alarming symptoms of chest and back pain. Initial evaluation, including ECG, did not reveal the exact cause, leaving the family anxious. A detailed sonography later detected a 22mm gallstone leading to Acute Calculus Cholecystitis, requiring urgent surgical management.

Having experienced excellent services previously during a COVID-19 admission, the family placed their trust once again in Medicover. Under the expert care of Dr G B Singh, Consultant General and Laparoscopic Surgeon, Mr Parikh underwent a laparoscopic gallbladder removal. The surgery was smooth, and his recovery was quick, with a safe discharge home.

In the Patient's Words

"My ECG was normal, but the sonography showed a 22mm stone, and we were worried. We remembered the positive experience we had earlier at Medicover, so we came here without hesitation. We received excellent guidance from Dr G B Singh. The laparoscopic surgery was successful, and we are thankful to the doctor and the entire hospital staff for their care and advanced facilities at an affordable range. Everything went smoothly and we are very happy with the treatment."
