I’m a grown man of 68yrs but nervous when they sent me for a gastroscopy and colonoscopy. He was professional but calmed and reassured me with his calm and caring manner. The whole procedure was under his control and I felt nothing and a few hours later I was on my way home.

Very professional but made me feel like I was being interrogated before my operation and did not make me feel at ease.

Response from Dr Peter Karpati
Thank you for taking the time to give me feedback. I am sorry you felt interrogated and not completely at ease. Unfortunately we need to ensure we have all the necessary information in order to tailor your anaesthetic to the needs of your surgery and your current state of health. Similarly, we are required to share with you the process and risks involved in your anaesthesia to allow you to give informed consent. As this feedback is anonymous, and I have anaesthetised quite a few patients in the last week or two, please contact me so I can find out what aspect of our consultation made you feel uneasy. This will allow me to improve the experience for my future patients (pkarpati@nhs.net).
