Cryotherapy
I have many nice things to say about Dr. Sandeep Bajaj, and I could go on for many days. But for the sake of time, I will keep it short. I had a skin lesion just above my ankle on my left leg. I was 83 at the time. The lesion was suspicious-looking and was initially treated as a skin cancer for which Cryotherapy (nitrogen) was indicated and done. Radiation was also given to me as an option. The lesion never healed but got worse. After approximately six months of going to different clinics and hospitals, surgery was recommended and scheduled. The surgery would include a flap and possibly a skin graft to remove the cancerous skin. The day before my scheduled surgery, I was informed that clearance from my Cardiologist was required. My Cardiologist was not available at that time, so that is when I met Dr. Bajaj for the first time. I will never forget that day. He took one look at my deep open wound and immediately, very convincingly said: "you have a venous ulcer, not cancer, you do not need surgery. You have venous insufficiency." He talked about how venous ulcers need to to be properly treated, how surgery was not the answer, and also how improper treatment would put me at risk of losing even my limb. After that visit, I underwent rigorous and systematic treatment for the venous ulcer. I have to say it was not easy. It took several months of therapy but finally my lesion healed. I strongly feel that Dr. Bajaj saved not only my leg, but also my life.
