I consulted with Mr. Kunasingam for bunion surgery at the Croydon Day Hospital. From the first time I met him I found him to be so friendly and reassuring. I have now completed my surgery journey. How great it is to be out of pain and to have two feet that look so normal, instead of old lady feet!
I would just like to say a big thank you to Mr. Kunasingam and all the staff at Croydon Day Hospital for all their great care. I found being able to see the same faces each time I visited very helpful in my recovery.
I certainly would recommend the hospital and Mr. Kunasingam to friends and family.

I had a bunion surgery on my left foot on the 19th of November 2019 done by Dr Kunasingham at Croydon Day hospital.
I live in Lincolnshire, and asked my doctor if it would be possible to refer there, as I had read about the less invasive key hole surgery that he does in a magazine.
I'm very pleased with the result and very satisfied with all the treatment and hospital care that I received whilst there.
The long journey was well worth it.
I would highly recommend this surgery to anyone thinking of having it done.
Kind regards Mrs Bruce

This was the 3rd time I had required the same heel spur surgery. The procedure was previously carried out bilaterally in 1994 and again in 2005. Mr Kunasingam was presented with the same problem and his approach was completely different. He recommended we do one foot at a time which I was happy with. He delivered on all the promises he gave me and explained everything thoroughly. Following previous surgeries I was on crutches for 3 weeks and unable to walk properly for nearly 3 months. This 2019 surgery was done on the 19th November and I was able to play golf walking over 4 miles on 30th November - just 11 days later. Whilst a number of physio sessions will be needed to get me 100% back the difference is marked and I am hugely impressed with the care and skill afforded to me. I remain quietly confident that I will be back refereeing rugby matches again by early January. Thank you Mr K. MP

Dr Kunasingham operated on my daughters ankle, because of a pre existing illness her ankle took almost two years to repair, during this time he was really professional keeping us in the picture all the time. He is an extremely caring, patient and professional doctor and I consider my daughter very lucky to have had him as her surgeon through this traumatic time.
