Mr Praminthra Chitsabesan

Written by a NHS patient at York Hospital

My experience of the care provided by Mr Chitsabesan has been excellent in all regards. He is very personable and quickly established a great rapport with both my wife (who accompanied me to his clinic) and to me. He was able to help us to understand what had been noticed on my CT scan and the planned course of action. We left the clinic feeling well informed and very confident about being under his care. His conversation with me at the start of the day on which the surgery took place felt informative, relaxed and friendly. I felt that he listened to me and answered all my questions. Although I am sure that he was under time pressure this did not come across and he only left when he had checked that I was happy. I have come across quite a few consultants over the years and most of them are excellent clinically but the psychological side of the care is as important as the clinical side. When this is done well, which it most certainly has been by Mr Chitsbesan, it dramatically reduces the levels of anxiety. In turn, I feel sure this results in improved outcomes.

Very approachable and easy to talk to. Very helpful with advice both before and after surgery. Quite a complicated surgery was very successful. I have only good things to say about Mr. Chitsabesan and his team.

Mr Chitsabesan put me at ease from the first moment I met him. He listens carefully to your worries and talks you through them clearly. Although my problem was very embarrassing to discuss, he made it so easy to tell him everything and he just understood. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone, I came out of his surgery feeling so assured and with some excellent advice and feeling 1000 times better than when I went in. He is the first person I would go to if I ever had a similar problem again.

Mr Chistabesan was incredibly kind and patient with me. I was very anxious about an embarrassing procedure and he did his best to put me at ease. He talked to me during the procedure to distract me. He gave me lots of time to ask questions and he reassured me enormously. I am anxious about another invasive procedure coming up, but I am really pleased to be under his care as I feel in very safe hands. He is first class.
