Mr Thiruppathy has a very straight forward approach and is very easy to talk to and a good listener (he also enjoys a bit of a natter, which puts you at ease). I had many questions in the initial consultation prior to being admitted into the Royal Berks for resection surgery due to a Cancer diagnosis. Mr T answered all my questions clearly and directly (both the good and bad news). I felt well prepared for what was about to come, which was the only surgery I had had other than having my tonsils out when I was 4 and having a broken nose fixed, many moons ago when I was but a lad! The team surrounding Mr T were fantastic prior to, during and after surgery took place (which was postponed from the original date when I managed to test Covid positive on the day of the operation - not ideal!). The team included the specialist Colorectal nurses, who are there to help you throughout the journey, the people making up the wider surgical and anaesthetic support (also including a second consultant), the nursing staff, Doctor, Physio and general staff in the Hopkins Ward and the High Dependency Unit at Royal Berks, the preop department, scanning department and the administration team who coordinated appointments (not an easy task) and, more recently, the Oncologist, Doctor Madi. In difficult times and when you are entering unknown territory, having the right people helping you makes all the difference. I am pleased to say the surgery was successful and the Mr Thiruppathy's description of how I would feel directly after and, in the days following surgery, was very accurate. Next stage is Chemo, which will be another challenge! So, no hesitation in recommending Mr Thiruppathy, and a big thank you to him and also the supporting team.
