Mr Dip Mukherjee ( Dipankar Mukhopadhyay)

Written by a patient at Spire Hartswood Hospital

I was referred to Dip by my GP on discovering that the cause of my 8 week period of abdominal agony was a large gallstone. My GP specifically referred me to Dip stating "He's the best laparoscopic surgeon in the area. If I had to have my gallbladder removed, he's who I'd want to do it." Great praise indeed. At my first consultation with Dip he was immediately interested in me as a person and my lifestyle etc. I mentioned that I was soon getting married and I had business travel commitments approaching. He assured me that we could get the surgery out of the way quickly without impacting my plans. I explained to Dip that I had never had surgery before and was a little worried about being knocked out by anaesthetic. I also mentioned my somewhat bizarre phobia around having my navel touched. Dip explained the whole procedure, what would happen, the risks etc. and assured me that I was in safe hands. He even volunteered to avoid my navel during surgery is I would prefer. He put me at such ease that I told him he should do whatever he needed to. On returning to my room after surgery, my partner informed me that Dip had been to see him to let him know that I was okay and would be out in a while once I'd had time to recover. The next few days I suffered some pain, however Dip had prepared me and I had no worries. On removing my dressings after ten days I discovered the smallest of scars which I imagine will disappear in no time. Two weeks later and I am fighting fit, able to eat anything I like and no longer have fears of that awful pain returning. Throughout all of my interactions with Dip he was a friendly, calming and extremely professional presence. I actually felt some sadness in leaving my post-surgery check-up as I have no reason to see him again. I give him my thanks for getting me fighting fit again and for his excellent bedside manner.

I have every confidence in Mr Mukherjee, he is an excellent surgeon, l received first class care. He takes time to listen to and answer all my questions and even contacted me at home after surgery, to see how i was getting on.

6th June 2016 Written by a patient I was diagonised with achalasia in mach 2016. I was treated by consultant DIP Mukherjee at queens hospital who made me feel at home and relaxed about the surgery . He explained to me what they are going to do and how it will be done. His sense of humour made me forget about my illness. I feel much better now, and i would like to thank Mr Mukherjee for his care during my short stay in the hospital and after care after the sugery.

ANY HOSPITAL STAY WILL SET YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE RACING... BEING UNDER THE CARE OF DIPANKAR WILL SET YOU AS EASE. FROM INITIAL CONSULTATION, TO PROCEDURE AND THEN AFTERCARE WILL BE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY. HE EXPLAINS ALL THE STAGES AND HAS A PERSONABLE STYLE THAT MAKE HIM APPROACHABLE EVERY QUESTION IS ANSWERED. INSPIRATIONAL IN HIS APPROACH I ALWAYS LEAVE MY CONSULTATIONS UPLIFTED. QUITE SIMPLY HE CARES ABOUT HIS PATIENTS. I CANNOT RECCOMMEND HIS SERVICES HIGHLY ENOUGH

From the first consultation to the day of the operation Dr. Mukherjee made me feel so at ease it was incredible. He explained to me in a very easy to understand way what exactly the operation entails, but only enough so i didn't get too stressed ( in fact he made me laugh a lot...which is exactly what I needed). Personally I didn't think he could improve in any way. The op went brilliantly and the 2 week check with him was great as well.
