My mother, Mrs. Vimal Jha, had been suffering chronic knee pain since 2013. We had spent quite a bit of money on physical therapy at many clinics, but it did not seem like my mother was making any progress. We were losing all hopes, when one of our friends suggested us to meet Dr. Vishal Nigam at Moolchand.
We found Dr. Vishal Nigam very knowledgeable and approachable. The way he attended my mother’s condition is very commendable. That initial consult made us feel confident to go ahead and trust his surgical recommendation. My mother under right knee surgery at Moolchand and is under Dr. Nigam’s care. She feels greats and her surgery scar is barely noticeable.
We also love the staff here! They are all amazing, very friendly, helpful and wonderful. Even when they are super busy, they always act like you are the only one there and that they have time to help you out, chat with you or make you laugh. They are simply the best!
The paraplegia that I suffered following a gunshot wound on my spinal cord left me with a major deficit on many of my functional capabilities. Spinal cord trauma is more than a single event. After the injury, I was paralyzed waist down and was struggling through a cascade of secondary events. As traumatic as my spinal injury was, my orthopedic doctor and occupational therapist at Moolchand Hospital added a light-hearted approach and laughter to very professional therapeutic and rehabilitative sessions.
After three weeks of rehabilitation in Moolchand, I have gradually begun to develop sensation in my legs. It is Dr. Vishal Nigam’s compassionate care, tireless efforts and determination to heal me completely that have brought a new hope in my life and I hope to return to a relatively normal life soon.
I am 71-years old. Over the past 5-6 years, my spinal problem (lumbar canal stenosis) had worsened to the degree of the inability of walking, sitting, standing or sleeping without constant pain. I decided to consult senior spine expert Dr. Vishal Nigam at Moolchand. He is extremely popular so I had to wait a bit for the first appointment; definitely, “Good things come to those who wait.” Dr. Nigam took my medical history and directed significant steps for through diagnosis. He ensured me that my debilitating pain will soon disappear. He made me feel comfortable and his professionalism gave me the confidence I needed to have spinal decompression to fix my herniated discs. I think he is the best doctor I have ever met!
The office staff at Moolchand is also courteous, professional and friendly. No where else can one find such excellent care, constant concern for the patients’ well being. Thank you Moolchand and Dr. Nigam!
