Patient Feedback

Hear from our patients talk about their recent experience with us

  • I saw Mr Kumar Kunasingham for key hole surgery to fix arthritis in my big toe. The surgery was quick, I was in and out in a day, and the hospital experience was great. There was remarkably little pain. The hospital gave me prescription pain killers, which I never needed, just some paracetamol. I play hockey and the recovery was much quicker than I expected - I was back training within 5 weeks and playing as normal within 7 or 8 weeks of surgery. Mr Kunasingam is fantastic, very patient and explained everything clearly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for any orthopedic surgery.
