Association of Dr. Vikram Shah with Shalby Hospitals

Dr. Shah’s mission is to “Preserve and Sustain Quality Human Life by bettering the Healthcare Services in India”

That was the aim with which the Shalby Journey started in 1994. Even after two decades the mantra has in no way changed. In fact its intensity has increased with changing times and increasing challenges.

Patient satisfaction is the first and foremost thought in the Shalby way of work.

Each day Dr. Vikram Shah and his team of surgeons and senior management staff meet patients and monitor recovery and patient satisfaction levels with hospital services and try to continuously improve.

Right from the time Dr Vikram Shah was operating from the first 30 bed hospital in 1994, he has been treating overseas patients. In the beginning patients came to him for TKR as a result of word of mouth testimonials. Ladies from England, Scotland and Wales visited Shalby Hospital for knee replacement as long back as 1997.

Later with the advent of internet more and more people found Shalby on the web and came to Ahmedabad for their TKR surgeries.

When Shalby became a multi speciality hospital in 2007, overseas patients who had come for TKR shared their happy memories about Shalby and suggested to friends and relatives to go to Shalby Hospitals for any type of treatment.

Today a whole wing of Shalby Hospital is dedicated to patients outside India for all types of treatments.
