I felt totally at ease and Mr Gurprashed explained everything thoroughly. I’m looking forward to him operating in mr
I would like thank you very much for the care and attention you gave me in my treatment. Your kindness, politeness, sense of humour and attention to detail was really appreciated and gave me confidence that I was in the right hands. You are credit to your profession and I would recommend you highly to anyone.
I was very nervous and embarrassed when i came in to see MR Gurprashad. Mr Gurprashad put me at ease speaking only to my self. He made sure that i had a very clear understanding of what was being done and what to expect in the future. He had my best interests at heart and i couldnt be more grateful in him being my doctor. I left feeling i had a better understanding of my problem and how to help my self.
Greeted with a smile and care was excellent. Answered all questions and reassured me as a parent. Was pleased with overall care and Doctor was very thorough. Explained everything before carry out examination and gained consent.
Lovely person would be happy for him to see treat my son again.
I wish all Doctors were like Mr. Gurprashad! He listens to you and is very caring. Everything is explained thoroughly and his bedside manner is second to none. I think Junior Doctors should shadow him for a couple of months to enable them to learn medical etiquette!!
