Amazing doctor. I have had many years of back pain and this is the only consultant who has listened to me. I have had treatment many times by this consultant and I trust his advice completely.

I can’t fault anything about the way I’ve been treated by my surgeon Mr Purishothoman. He has reassured me that if there’s any further issues I’m to contact him without delay. Top man !
