I badly broke my 5th metatarsal. I'm fairly small boned so the bone was pretty fragile. Mr Kunasingam managed to operate in late December 2020 and pinned the bone. Not a fun way to spend Christmas, but most definitely worth it.
It has taken several months to fully heal but the bone has healed incredibly well and is very straight. I am delighted with the treatment from Mr Kunasingam and everyone I have been in contact with during the treatment. This has been especially exceptional as it has also been during the Covid restrictions.
I would thoroughly recommend Mr Kunasingam for any treatment of this nature. He is very personable and puts you at ease very quickly. I cannot thank him and the other staff enough.

A fortnight ago I had revision hallux valgus surgery performed by Mr Kunasingam. I had had this operation 14 years ago performed by a different surgeon and it was a terrible experience. What a contrast to the minimally invasive revision surgery undertaken by Mr. Kunasingam. I was able to walk out of the hospital without crutches and 2 weeks later am able to wear trainers and flat shoes. I am pain free and walking very well.
Mr Kunasingam is without doubt a first class surgeon and inspires confidence. His manner towards his patients is exemplary. I thoroughly recommend him and any one who is lucky enough to be his patient will have the very best of care.

I received an ankle arthroscopy operation to remove loose bone during the COVID-19 restrictions. Mr Kunasingam was extremely professional and listened carefully to my concerns. This resulted in a successful operation where a large piece of loose bone was removed. I now have a flexible and strong ankle again. The high quality care I was given on the day of surgery, as well as pre and post op has been outstanding. I would definitely recommend this surgeon and West Valley hospital for a good quality outcome.

Mr Kunasingam is a wonderful surgeon and a wonderful human being. He has been very patient with me and accepted me as a patient after I was dealt with by another surgeon. Mr Kunasingam tried to avoid surgery on my ankle giving me physio and advice over a number of months, we both agreed that an Ankle Arthroscopy would be the best solution to try and relieve the ankle joint pain that I have had for sometime. I had my operation and to my amazement I have had no pain and full use of my ankle. Up walking and the cycling after 2 days with no pain or indication that I had just had an operation. Mr Kunasingam is very skilled and so far seems to have corrected my chronic ankle pain, I would recommend anyone with this type of problem to seek help from Mr Kunasingam. I am now playing golf, cycling and swimming regularly, Thank You so much for your time and effort .
