I was looked after by Dr Niranjan during my recent visit to KGH ED. I had to seek emergency care at KGH when I became breathless after contracting COVID-19. Dr Niranjan was the consultant on call for acute medicine and she treated me with utmost kindness and compassion. Co-ordinated my care following discussion with her colleagues and above all made me feel valued and listened. She is an exceptional medical professional. I was fortunate to be looked after by her and her team.

I was admitted to a&e not breathing and unconscious fur to vivid. Dr Niranjan and her team saved my life and arranged to me to be out on ecmo. They kept my wife updated and, although it was super busy in the emergency department, never stopped being professional. Words or a review cannot Thank Dr Niranjan and her team enough. My two young children could have lost their father but for her hard work. She is a remarkable person and I thank God the NHS is lucky enough to have her working for it as many people will obviously be helped and live/have better lives because of her dedication. Thank you.

My mother who is 83 years old had COVID and few falls at home before taken into King George hospital by the emergency ambulance. We were told that she may have to be taken to out of London hospital due to overcrowding in majority of London hospitals. However, we were lucky that she has been taken to King George. She waited over 3 hours in the ambulance and then again another 40 hours in the emergency before admitted into a ward. She was admitted at the Holly ward and put under the most helpful and highly professional specialist Dr Niranjan’s care. My mum was so lucky to have Dr Niranjan as her consultant. Dr Niranjan has carried out all the necessary examinations and treated my mother as necessary and saved her life. Dr Niranjan kept her professionalism and sense of humanity and spend beyond her working hours and regularly updated us about my mum’s condition and how she was progressing. That updates given us the confidence that she is under real professionals’ care and will get better and soon return to home. My mum returned home after 13 days of hospitalisation. We are greatly thankful to Dr Niranjan and her team. Mrs Varathalingam

Dr Kantha Niranjan gave great care to my elderly Mum who was in Queens hospital. She was very approachable, clear in her explanations of mums condition and gave my family a lot of her time to help us. Having such a kind, knowledgable Dr to guide, support and advise us at this time was of great comfort and gave us total confidence.

My brother spent 18 weeks in Queens Hospital following a devastating stroke. His initial treatment from the hospital varied from poor to shameful. We had to argue and complain at every stage to have him treated with dignity and compassion, leave alone decent clinical care. None of the problems were due to lack of staff or lack of funding and individual staff members appeared caring, but totally disconnected. There appear to be "specialists" for every aspect who failed to either communicate with each other or have any ability to follow up. We felt hopeless and angry every time we visited. However, from the moment that Mick was moved to Sunrise 'B', Dr. Niranjan took responsibility for his care and it was as though he were in a different hospital. Whilst there was hope she and her team tried everything possible to help him, he was a difficult patient but they managed to see past that and treated him with kindness and dignity throughout. They made time to explain his treatment to us and kept us informed. Sadly, all of their efforts could not prevent his eventual death but they made this as comfortable and gentle as possible, While all of the staff of Sunrise 'B' deserve praise and thanks, we believe the example of leadership, science and compassion from Dr. Niranjan is what makes for a great ward in a dreadful hospital.

I have just had brain surgery with a successful outcome and Dr Niranjan was responsible for the medical follow-up as opposed to the surgical follow-up, which I didn't know I as due one. She was very thorough and ordered a new blood test to ensure that everything was OK. She explained everything to me and was very positive and gave me confidence. I was seen on time and she didn't rush the appointment and gave me as much time as I needed.

Dr Kantha Niranjan looked after my mother for nearly three weeks on Sunrise B. Our mother was admitted with recurring chest infection and UTI. Slowly mum took a turn for the worse, and started to deteriorate. Mum and was referred to the palliative care team as her body started shutting down. Dr Niranjan was very caring, compassionate and thoughtful to all my family’s needs at this distressing time. She took time each day to speak with us and reassure us. Sadly, my mother passed away a week ago, my family and l would like to express our thanks and gratitude for all that Dr Niranjan did for our mother, keeping her comfortable as possible during her last few weeks of life. Its satisfying to know that some doctors have time for family members during difficult times. Regards Jackie W. Daughter of J G.
