I sincerely appreciate the excellent work of Dr. Sahnan for my very complicated complex fistula operation. His professional skill, kind behavior, and calm attitude made me feel confident and comfortable. He provided proper guidance at every step and treated me with great care.
Recovery has been excellent so far, and I feel very fortunate to have been treated under Dr Sahnan.
I’m seeing great improvement in my physical and emotional well-being
His excellent work has given me a second chance at a healthier life. Big thanks.

Amazing service from initial assessment to discharge.
I felt like I had a say in my own care and had time to ask any questions.
I received the best care and refer to this experience when thinking of an example of excellent patient centred care.

Mr Sahnan really took the time to understand my complex case and has made steps to helping me receive treatment. He also showed empathy towards my diagnosis and I really appreciated that.

Mr Sahnan was professional, knowledgeable, kind, compassionate efficient , & very understanding surgeon , he always found time to listen , advise me when I was unsure & at times scared of what the surgeon & recovery involved. All appointments were never rushed. The robotic surgery was incredible & I would recommend it to anyone who is offered the opportunity

I met Mr Sahnan for the first time this week.
From the moment he introduced himself he put me at ease.
He had knowledge of why I had come to see him.
He explained in detail about my condition and listened to how I feel about where I am now with my problem.
Mr Sahnan has given me hope and I may have choices of treatment which I had not been given at a previous hospital.
Thank you for my appointment.
