Patient Experience
Rushed to MIOT after a bike accident with suspected spinal fracture. Dr. Dwivedi came in at 2 AM, stabilized me with non-surgical methods, and avoided surgery entirely. His emergency care saved me from permanent damage - forever grateful for his quick decisions.
Came for routine disc bulge consultation expecting medication. Dr. Dwivedi spent 45 minutes demonstrating posture corrections using a spine model and designed a custom physio plan. Six months later, my MRI shows 70% improvement without surgery!
Complex revision surgery after two failed spinal fusions elsewhere. Dr. Dwivedi's 3D-printed model of my spine and detailed surgical plan gave me confidence. One year later, I've finally stopped pain medications and returned to work as a school teacher.
Flew from Dubai specifically for Dr. Dwivedi's opinion on my rare spinal tumor. His multidisciplinary team approach involving neurologists and oncologists was impressive. Successful resection with intraoperative monitoring - no neurological deficits post-op!
My 8-year-old's congenital spinal defect required delicate surgery. Dr. Dwivedi used pediatric-sized instruments and drew cartoons on his whiteboard to explain the procedure. The child-life specialist he works with made hospital stays less traumatic.
Workplace injury left me with crushed vertebrae. Dr. Dwivedi's team coordinated with my employer for workers' comp while performing vertebroplasty. His social worker helped navigate paperwork - comprehensive care beyond the operating room.
Osteoporotic compression fractures at 82 made me bedridden. Dr. Dwivedi's kyphoplasty procedure was done under local anesthesia. Walking the same evening - his gentle approach with elderly patients is remarkable.
Second opinion for my failed back surgery syndrome. Dr. Dwivedi's honest assessment that I needed pain management rather than another surgery saved me from unnecessary procedures. His integrity in recommending non-surgical options is rare.
Professional athlete with recurrent disc herniation. Dr. Dwivedi collaborated with my sports physio for a return-to-play protocol. Microdiscectomy performed with smallest possible incision - back to competitive cricket in 3 months!
Ankylosing spondylitis patient with severe deformity. Dr. Dwivedi's osteotomy procedure changed my life - went from staring at the ground to seeing people's faces again. His rehabilitation team taught adaptive techniques for daily activities.
International patient from Kenya with spinal TB. Dr. Dwivedi coordinated my entire treatment remotely before arrival. MIOT's infection control team worked seamlessly with him - successful reconstruction after antitubercular therapy.
Dr. Prakasam performed emergency appendectomy on my 8-year-old daughter at midnight. His calm demeanor during the crisis and his way of explaining things to a frightened child made all the difference. We're forever grateful he was on duty that night.
As a 72-year-old with multiple comorbidities, I was terrified of my gallbladder surgery. Dr. Prakasam spent 45 minutes explaining the minimally invasive procedure and even showed me diagrams. His confidence gave me courage, and my recovery was smoother than I imagined possible.
What impressed me most was Dr. Prakasam's follow-up care. After my hernia operation, he personally called twice to check on my recovery and even adjusted my medication based on my feedback. This level of attention is rare in today's medical world.
I came to MIOT for a second opinion after being told I needed major abdominal surgery. Dr. Prakasam reviewed my scans and suggested a conservative approach instead. His honesty saved me from an unnecessary operation and six months later, I'm completely fine.
My husband's complex intestinal obstruction required a 6-hour surgery. Dr. Prakasam's team updated me every hour, and his detailed post-op explanation showed incredible surgical precision. The scar is barely visible thanks to his meticulous closure technique.
As a medical student observing surgeries, I specifically requested to watch Dr. Prakasam operate. His anatomical knowledge and surgical elegance were like watching an artist at work. He even took time to explain each step to me during the procedure.
My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. sushmitha asokan. The hospital staff was also very supportive.
