Mr Kaliaperumal was first introduced to me a couple of years ago when I was diagnosed with a meningioma brain tumour. The diagnosis came as a huge shock to me - a brain tumour isn't something I imagined would ever happen to me. Mr Kaliaperumal was amazing, he went through the procedure step by step, explained the MRI scans, answered all questions and helped to put both me and my wife at ease. Nothing can prepare you for something like this and I didn't have much time between diagnosis and surgery to process what was happening. However, I felt reassured by Mr Kaliaperumal. He made me feel at ease about things. I was confident that under his care and medical direction I was in more than capable hands. You often read such negative things about the NHS in the media however, my experience makes me feel truly proud of our NHS service. The team at the Western General in Edinburgh are miracle workers. Every single member of staff within the DCN are committed to providing the best possible care and work to such high standards. The nurses, junior doctors, registrars and my consultant couldn't do enough for me to aid my recovery. Mr Kaliaperumal helped explain things to me in layman's terms and checked up on me regularly and also took the time to call my wife and provide her with updates on my progress and discuss a plan moving forward. If you've just been diagnosed with a brain tumour, you're probably overwhelmed by this potentially life changing diagnosis, but rest assured that you are going to receive the best treatment and care from Mr Kaliaperumal and his team. He is a truly amazing consultant and I feel extremely grateful to have him as my consultant.
