Patient Reviews
Dr. Doshi's Gamma Knife treatment for my brain lesion avoided open surgery entirely. Precise, effective, and I was discharged within 48 hours.
Robotic gastric bypass with Dr. Goel's team was remarkably precise — minimal scarring, fast recovery, excellent weight loss results at 10 months.
Excellent clinical care. Mumbai traffic between our hotel and the hospital was more time-consuming than anticipated — worth factoring into planning.

Patients booking through InterHealthTour receive dedicated coordination support from first enquiry through post-treatment follow-up, including accommodation booking assistance, airport transfer confirmation, and translation of any documentation you need for your home doctor. We recommend specialist medical tourism insurance for any surgical procedure booked here.
What to Expect: Your Patient Journey
Most international patients booking Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital through InterHealthTour follow a broadly similar sequence, though timing varies with procedure complexity. It typically begins with a remote consultation — usually video, sometimes a structured written review of your medical records and imaging — during which the treating team, led where relevant by Dr. Paresh Doshi or a colleague in the same department, outlines whether you are a suitable candidate for the procedure you are enquiring about and provides an itemised cost estimate in writing.
Once you confirm and travel dates are set, most patients arrive in Mumbai 1-3 days before the procedure for final pre-operative assessment, blood work, and imaging where needed. Airport transfer coordination and accommodation booking near the hospital are handled by your InterHealthTour coordinator alongside the hospital's own international patient office. Length of hospital stay and total time in India depends heavily on the specific procedure — your coordinator will give you a realistic estimate specific to your case during the quote stage rather than a generic figure that may not reflect your actual treatment plan.
Before discharge, you receive full documentation translated into English (and your preferred language where feasible), covering the procedure performed, medication instructions, and a follow-up schedule. For neurosurgery and robotic surgery procedures specifically, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital's international patient team typically arranges at least one video follow-up consultation after you return home, with further calls available if you have questions during recovery.
Recovery, Aftercare and Staying in Touch
Recovery expectations vary enormously by procedure, and Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital's care team will set out a realistic timeline specific to your treatment during your pre-operative consultation rather than a generic estimate. What is consistent across procedures booked through InterHealthTour at this hospital is the availability of a discharge summary in your language, a clear medication and activity schedule, and a named point of contact for questions once you are back home — not left to guess whether a symptom during recovery is normal or worth flagging.
If a complication does arise after you return home, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital's international patient office can liaise directly with your local doctor, sharing your full treatment records and imaging on request. This kind of continuity is one of the more practically important, if less glamorous, things worth confirming before booking any procedure abroad — ask your coordinator specifically how this would work for your case before you travel, rather than assuming it will be straightforward.
Who This Hospital Tends to Suit Best
Based on the pattern of bookings InterHealthTour has coordinated with Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, patients who tend to be most satisfied are specifically those seeking neurosurgery or robotic surgery care, comfortable with English, Arabic, Hindi and Gujarati as the primary languages of communication, and who have done at least some independent comparison against one or two other accredited options in India or elsewhere before committing. Patients whose needs sit clearly within this hospital's stated specialties tend to report the most consistent outcomes.
As with any medical tourism decision, this profile is a starting point for your own research rather than a substitute for it. We encourage you to request an itemised quote, ask the specific questions raised in the FAQ section above, and — for anything beyond routine, low-risk procedures — seek a second opinion before travelling. See our medical tourism safety guide for a fuller checklist applicable to any clinic you are considering, not just this one.
A Note on Cost Transparency
Published price ranges from Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, starting from $1,600 for its most accessible listed procedures, reflect quotes collected as of Q1 2025 and are deliberately shown as ranges rather than single figures — the width of that range usually comes down to case complexity, anaesthesia requirements, length of hospital stay, and whether any complications or additional treatment are needed once your surgeon has actually assessed you in person, not just from photographs or a written history. Treat any quote you receive before an in-person or thorough video assessment as provisional. A reputable clinic, including this one, should be willing to explain in plain terms what could move your specific price toward the top or bottom of the published range, and should confirm the final itemised cost in writing before your procedure date, not verbally on the day.
Our Assessment
