I was under Mr Kumaraparathan Kunasingam for a big toe arthritis keyhole surgery and it all went well
From the start I was very anxious about this operation and he made me feel so safe and calm about it all , from the moment I walked into the hospital on the day of the operation the care from the nurses was outstanding the Anithatist was excellent and looked after me so well every nurse I met had outstanding care and Tristanne Morley the physio care was excellent freindly lovely lady.
I am so pleased and very lucky to of had this done at this hospitalunder such excellent staff
Thank you so much Debbie Evans x

I had been putting up with the discomfort of bunions for some time and was apprehensive about surgery due to the various horror stories I had heard about bunion surgery.
Having been advised that the discomfort would only get worse over time, I obtained a referral to Mr Kunasingham to discuss my options. He could not have been more helpful and carefully explained that keyhole surgery was a vast improvement on the previous methods of correction.
I had surgery 3 months ago now and can only say that I am delighted with the result. The scars have healed so well that you can hardly see them now and I was able to get around quite easily within a very short period of time.
I am now waiting to have the same operation on my other foot and feel much less apprehensive than the first time.
Mr Kunasingham's manner is brilliant. He listens to concerns and explains how treatment will progress with great care. At felt at ease and confident in his expertise and cannot recommend him highly enough.

Mr Kunasingam carried out my keyhole bunion surgery on 17th September 2019. I was back in the gym 6 weeks later! Cannot recommend this procedure highly enough and cannot believe more people don't know about it! I very nearly put off having bunion surgery thinking the recovery time would take months .. so pleased I kept searching and found Mr Kunasingam!

I saw Dr Kunasingham regarding arthritis in my big toes. We discussed treatment options and he carried out keyhole surgery in the form of a chilectomy. I have to admit to being nervous because I had heard tales of the pain and a long recovery, but I couldn't have been more wrong. The surgery itself was straightforward and everyone very caring and attentive.
My recovery was much quicker than anticipated and the pain levels much lower than expected. I can now walk pain free and couldn't be happier. I saw Dr Kunasignham for two follow up appointments and he was very pleased with the progress I've made and clearly cares about his patients.
I can highly recommend Dr Kunasingham for his surgical and interpersonal skills. One feels is very safe hands under his care.

I recently had bunion and hammer toe keyhole surgery and was surprises it was so painless. I took very few painkillers and found all the advise given excellent. I would highly recommend this Consultant and will be having my other foot done shortly.
Keyhole surgery is not very painful at all so go for it girls.
