Dr Neeraj Purohit

Written by a NHS patient at University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust

After really struggling through the diagnosis process due to lack of communication from the teams at Southampton Hospital regarding my care and scan results Dr Purohit put me at ease. He really listened to my concerns and allowed me to ask lots of questions. He took the time to talk through my scans and this was the first time I'd spoken to someone face to face about my condition. Dr Purohit really listened when I explained how much pain I've been in and took steps to ensure I was kept comfortable throughout my procedure today. Blocking the nerves and asking me throughout if I was OK. He made a very worrying and anxious admission into hospital a little easier. I finally felt listened to and like a person rather than an object. I would like to thank him and the radiology staff today for their lovely care.

This was my second cortisone injection in my hip and once again is very successful. (I undertook extreme physical exercise jumping over large muddy puddles, which I should not have, hence the second injection). We discussed my allergies again, which influences the procedure Dr Purohit follows, and the projected length of time the cortisone should give me before an inevitable hip replacement. It is a pleasure to experience an intelligent, personable and communicative consultant.

Dr Neeraj was absolutely amazing today with my care and treatment ! I was sue to have steroid injection in my knee but I was so nervous when arriving, both him and his assistant made sure I was totally calm before even attempting to start any procedures, I have never been made to feel so relaxed before. I was so impressed with everything from start to finish he even asked what I wanted (quiet or him to talk to me ) he kept me chatting the whole way through my procedure and made sure I was comfortable. Dr Neeraj has restored my faith in having these sort of procedures done in future as I had a bad experience last time. I would like to personally say a massive thank you to him for today ! He really is an asset to your team at the Spire hospital.

Extremely pleasant and welcoming. Showed patience in explaining the procedure and took time to make sure that I was comfortable and understood clearly. I arrived early for my appointment and was seen promptly, without having to wait until the appointed time. The nurses assisting the Doctor were also very welcoming and caring.
