Excellent pre and post operative care from Dr Kunasingam and his team. I have total faith in him. My surgery to my right foot was a success and I'm looking forward to having my left foot done as soon as possible.

From the very beginning of my contact with the doctor, he was at all times professional, respectful and listened to my questions. My foot surgery was completed successfully.

This doctor treated me with the utmost courtesy and listened to my concerns. He guided me through the operation procedure and said recovery would be slow. I was asked if I still wanted to go ahead - which I did. His whole team at Croydon University Hospital were excellent and looked after me well, especially as I have a needle phobia!
Thank you Kumar for fixing my arthritic ankle. I can now get my life back.

Mr. Kunasingam was friendly, professional and approachable at all times and I felt very confident about his skill set and knowledge.
I had two follow up appointments with him and he thoroughly examined the results of his work.
I have been delighted with the outcome and the scarring is minimal. There was very little discomfort and I abandoned the painkillers after two days. I do not regret at all having this procedure.

From my first consultation o my discharge Mr Kunasingham was not only professional but warm and approachable. Shirley Oaks itself was COVID secure and the facilities great.
I would highly recommend both Mr Kunasingham and the hospital.
