I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in early 2012. The disease had caused limited mobility in my wrists, fingers and other joints. The English consultant who confirmed my condition immediately started me on 15mg of Methotrexate and folic acid, both to be taken on a weekly basis. On my next visit to the consultant methotrexate was increased to 20 mg and on a further visit, I was told it was going to be increase yet again. I was constantly tired and lethargic with no energy. I was definitely not very happy about this.

Methotrexate had numerous side affects. It started affecting my digestion and food absorption. My brother Sandeep recommended Dr. Tripathi’s treatment in India at Moolchand. At this point, I was prepared to try any viable alternative treatments, so I flew to India for treatment. 

I met Dr. Tripathi who is highly skilled in this field and was recommended a three-pronged approach, which included exercising the joints, Ayurvedic medicines with a controlled diet and Panchkarma (herbal hot oil massages) therapy. Since June 2013 till November 2017, I have made several trips to India whereby Dr. Tripathi has slowly decreased my methotrexate to ZERO. I now have significantly less swelling and increased movement, with no side effects of any medication. I have not taken any Methotrexate for the last two years and feel so much better. 

Dr. Tripathi has been a tremendous help to me and I would recommend his treatments for RA.

I am a renal transplant patient. Since 2008, I have been under Dr. Ramesh Hotchandani’s supervision and care at Moolchand. I appreciate Dr. Ramesh Hotchandani’s constant follow-ups and encouragements which made it easier to get through the recovery process. Dr. Ramesh kept close follow-up on my kidney functions and my overall health. It is through his genuine efforts that I have been able to gain sufficient strength and an improved physical health.

I have been undergoing dialysis at Moolchand since 2008. I would like to thank Dr. Ramesh for being very supportive and kind to me throughout all these years. It is his excellent care that has brought remarkable improvement in my condition. He shows sincere concern and compassion for my health and that’s why I applaud him. I and my family believe had we not met Dr. Ramesh, life could be much more challenging for me.

A special thanks to the staff at nephrology department whom I find very caring and courteous. They keep me well informed and in case of any emergency, I know that there is always someone I can refer to. I highly recommend Dr. Ramesh and Moolchand nephrology department.

In 2006, I received a kidney transplant at Jaslok Hospital, Mumbai. As a renal kidney failure patient it is very hard to believe that I could have a normal life while on dialysis. A dear friend who I highly admire referred me to Moolchand Hospital and told me, “Don’t worry they will take great care of you.”

Thanks to Dr. Ramesh Hotchandani at Moolchand, I am a dialysis patient with great quality of life. I am very grateful to him for not only taking care of me, but for restoring my quality of life as a dialysis patient. So I know no matter what happens, I will continue to live a gratifying life.

It was 1999 when I found out that my kidneys were failing. I was shocked. I underwent dialysis treatment at Apollo Hospital for many years; it was not only more expensive but also less effective. My kidney condition worsened dramatically; I could hardly breathe or walk. I was brought to Dr. Ramesh Hotchandani in that severe condition. He immediately took timely action and saved my life. I cannot thank Dr. Ramesh Hotchandani enough for the excellent care he has provided to me. From the moment my wife and I met him, we were certain God had led us to him.

He keeps me motivated to continue pressing forward. In fact, the entire dialysis unit at Moolchand is inspiring, including the doctors that play a big role in patients’ lives.

Thank you Moolchand!

My 21-year old daughter Simran is a CKD 5 patient and on MHD for the last 6 years. Simran’s dialysis started in PSRI Hospital but was shifted to Moolchand as it was very near to our house. Since then, we started her treatment with Dr Ramesh and have seen remarkable improvement in Simran’s health.

Doctors are no less than God. They are rays of hope. They are the life saviors. Dr Ramesh, one of the top nephrology specialists in India, truly proved to be a life savior for Simran. He is a wonderful, altruistic human being. He is very courteous and supportive.

Respect and best wishes for him.

I was diagnosed with CKD five years ago. I walked in Moolchand for an appointment with Dr. Ramesh and instantly he got me giggling and speaking my heart out to him. Dr. Ramesh Hotchandani is a veteran in the field of Nephrology. I have full faith in him. He always has a smile on his face which makes you feel at ease.

During my dialysis treatment, I found Moolchand Nephrology Department as a class apart. Hygiene is taken proper care of and the ambience is also pleasing. The nursing staff is so caring that family members can leave the patient alone.

I would surely recommend this hospital and Dr Ramesh to my friends and family members. A big thank you!
