Dr P Abeysiri provides excellent care. She is clearly very knowledgable in her field and very thorough in her examination which is very reassuring. She listens to your questions and makes you feel very comfortable. She also offers good advice in regards to follow up options. I would highly recommend her.

Miss Abeysiri is a very personable clinician who makes you feel completely at ease. She explains clearly and succinctly any treatment she proposes whilst also setting out any potential risks or side effects. She is happy to answer questions and will ask several times during a consultation whether you have any further questions. Her whole demeanour instils confidence and trust in her ability.
She is very mindful of the patients she is seeing so much so that at her clinic yesterday she came out of the consulting room to apologise for the length of time people were waiting to see her.
