I recently found myself in the unfortunate position of having to have emergency surgery to remove an implant due to infection.. but count myself lucky to have had Dr Karpati as my anaesthetist.. I had never met him before the surgery, but quickly felt at ease with him.. he listened to my concerns about previous bad experiences with having been anaesthetised with genuine sympathy, & assured me that he would look after me. As I had eaten that day he explained very clearly the process he would need to follow, and when the time came he was very considerate of how frightened I was, & tried to make the experience more bearable.. The aftercare e.g. guidance re my pain relief.. has been very much appreciated.. I hope that when the time comes for additional surgery to replace the implant, that I will be able to have this anaesthetist again..

I had an excellent experience under the care of Doctor Karpati. He was very attentive in his care, asking relevant questions and listening carefully to my concerns. His pre and post op communications were invaluable and ensured my medication management was easy to follow.

No faults. A great experience and really great that Dr Karpati follows up with his patients after the operation. Highly recommended.

Being my first time under general anaesthetic, I was naturally nervous but Dr Karpati put me at ease and I was very happy with the treatment. I was also impressed by the effort Dr Karpati made to contact me and discuss everything prior to the operation and the care I have received afterwards too.

I received great care from Dr. Peter Karpati recently during my breast reduction. He rang me prior to the operation and sent me on very easily to follow but comprehensive information about what would happen and the possible side effects. On the day of the operation he came to my room to see me again and went through my medical history to make sure I would get the most suitable medical treatment. He was very easy to talk to. Again in the operating theatre he was very reassuring. He rang me again the following evening after I had been discharged and the following day to ensure I was not in pain and that I was able to take my medication properly. He gave me a lot of advice on the different medications I was provided with. He provided excellent after care for me and I would be very happy if he was my anaesthesiologist in the future.
