Mr Chandrasekaran Kaliaperumal

Written by a NHS patient at Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh

I was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary on 2 April 2023 after an accident at home which resulted in a traumatic brain injury. Mr Kaliaperumal treated me with an emergency left sided craniotomy, which I am certain saved my life. I shall be forever grateful for his expertise. I saw him regularly during my post operative recovery, and again on 27 February 2024 when I was discharged from the clinic. I always found him to be both empathetic and generous with his time and knowledge.

Dr. Kaliaperumal was my daughter's neurosurgeon and he was phenomenal! He helped support my family through my 1-year-old daughter's skull surgery. Even after we left Scotland, he kept in touch and wanted to check in on Rosie. I was a nervous wreck throughout the process and asked a lot of questions. Dr. Kaliaperumal took the time to address all my fears and concerns in a very patient manner, leaving me with a sense of calm about the entire thing, which was quite a feat. On the day of surgery, we felt secure knowing that Dr. Kaliaperumal was in charge. His kindness and warmth are something we always remember about that experience and we cannot thank him enough for what he has done for my daughter and for all of us.

I consulted Dr Kaliaperumal about a lower back issue which had started to compromise sleep and daily exercise including running. At all times he was extremely clear, approachable, and reassuring as we followed a process which ultimately resulted in me requiring a lower back microforaminotomy procedure. Although I was apprehensive about this, he was very reassuring and the whole procedure has proved to be exactly as he described. He has showed great care following the procedure, both calling and then visiting the day after the procedure. The attention to detail has been exemplary throughout and this extended to the follow-up review where he dealt with my queries clearly and efficiently.
