Dr Jananath Wijeyekoon

Written by a patient at Hertford County Hospital

My experience over the previous 4 years with Dr Wijeyekoon has allowed me to live a significantly improved life, through his dedication and ability to explain the issues to me I have had different treatments and a much better understanding of what is actually going on. He was instrumental in moving me on from treatments that were not really effective and getting me to accept my current medication which has resulted in the new lease of life that I presently enjoy. Thank you.

I received the very best of care from Dr Wijeykoon whilst in hospital and in the two years since my discharge and still on-going. I was in Lister Hospital for around 10 weeks with sepsis and other un-specified conditions. After spending time in Intensive Care and then Critical Care I was transferred to a general ward. Dr Wijeyekoon diagnosed my Rhumatoid Artheritis whilst in hospital and has been my consultant thereafter. He was greatly responsible for making it possible for my eventual discharge and under his care I am now back running my company starting work at 7am until 5pm. This is nothing short of miraculous as my wife and family were convinced that this was something I wouldn't ever be well enough to do. I have a blood test a couple of times a month the results of which are monitored by Dr Wijeyekoon who contacts me if anything should be amiss and I visit his consultation clinic a couple of times a year. He is always very courteous and listens to what I have to say. In turn I listen to him and heed his advise which I respect and believe in. As a doctor he is exceptional, as a person he is a gentleman and I thank him for his great contribution in putting me on the road to recovery and a pro-active life once more.

It is difficult realistically expecting a more personal and caring service which I have received from Dr Wijeyekoon, he is always prepared to listen and understand what you are telling him. I know from persononal experience that not all doctors truly listen and take in what you are saying. This has not been my experience with Dr Wijeyekoon. He has always listened, understood and given sound advice to assist my recovery. I personally feel that without Dr Wijeyekoon's involvement in my illness I may never have recovered to lead a reasonably normal life and I am now in a position healthwise, that is possibly slightly better than at the onset of my illness. It is so reassuring to know that the blood tests I have every couple of weeks are monitored by him and if necessary action taken very quickly. I advise anybody to follow his advice which is given in a caring manner where you are treated as a person of equal standing and are not just a number. The most important thing is you feel your consultation is conducted in a constructive manner and he makes you feel you are important to him which instills great confidence. I hold him in the highest regard and am grateful that I am fortute to have him as my consultant. I believe and so does my wife and family that my progress far exceeds what was expected whilst I was very ill in hospital and to a great extent I know this is due to Dr Wijeyekoon's intervention and the personal interest he took. I am now able to run my business and feel a pro-active person once again and for this I and my family can't thank him enough. I am also aware of the fact that if necessary I can telephone him and he will aways reply. Lastly may I add, he is a gentleman.

Was admitted to hospital with an little known syndrome and was diagnosed and treated quickly. Have always been listened to, and he takes time to explain things in a way you understand.
