Reviews
I found him very approachable and easy to talk to. He always treated me with respect and understanding.
I have seen him at both Sunderland Royal and Spire.
All staff very friendly, very nice clean hospital, and attentive. I had acdf surgery and was made to feel at ease the whole process through consultations, surgery day, and recovery.
I felt as though any issues or concerns I had were clearly and precisely explain to me with how to move forward
Great surgeon, listens to you and is very helpful and reassuring nothing is to much for him he goes above and beyond to help you in every way. I would certainly recommend Mr purshothaman my sacroiliac joint fusion was a success my daily life is back to normal,i can't thank him enough.... He is now my mams surgeon she is also happy with her progress after seeing him.
I could not have asked for a more professional and compassionate doctor. Excellent care and advice from start to finish.
