I had decompression surgery in 2005 in the Edinburgh Western. My symptoms improved in some areas but, I was still left with severe headaches. In the past I always felt that I was not listened to and returned home having been advised that there was nothing else that could be done. Then I was passed over to Mr Gallo who proved to be first class and advised more surgery to enhance my quality of life. Regrettably Mr Galo had to move on but not before contacting me to advise that my new surgeon Mr Kaliaperumal is held in extremely high regard and that I would be well cared for which proved to be the case. Due to the pandemic I was unable to meet with Mr Kaliaperumal until my pre -op appointment. He immediately put me at my ease, listened to my fears regarding further surgery and explained the procedure in a realistic but non patronising manner. A few weeks post surgery I was still in a lot of pain and fearing that I was not improving I called Mr Kaliaperumal’s secretary. Mr Kaliaperumal called back immediately and arranged a scan and consultation for the following day when he reassured me that the surgery had been successful, and my recovery was progressing as expected. This after care was so much appreciated. I gradually improved returned to work and it is no exaggeration that Mr Kaliaperumal skill as a surgeon has given me my life back.
