Mr Praminthra Chitsabesan

Written by a private patient at York Hospital

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.

Mr Chitsabesan took over my care from the outstanding Mr Alexander who had performed surgery for colorectal cancer 3 years earlier. Although initially concerned about a change of consultants, I was relieved to find that Mr Chitsabesan also possessed the knowledge and characteristics that help make these experiences that much more bearable. He listened to my concerns and provided useful advice, always delivered in a pleasant and caring manner. I would certainly recommend Mr Chitsabesan and would also seek him out if I require further treatment in the future.

Saw Mr Chitsabasan about an inguinal hernia. After a careful examination I was informed that I had bilateral hernias. He gave an informative explanation about the procedure I was to undergo and gave me a prompt appointment for surgery. Throughout my care he was nothing but kind, helpful and explained ever ything clearly.

Mr Chitsabesan is a wonderful, caring surgeon with a smile. A perfect and clear bedside manner and so obviously highly skilled. He and his team recently undertook open surgery on a large hernia that I had developed, an operation made more challenging and risky than usual due to my having unrelated complex blood cancer issues and my late 70s age. He and his team seamlessly coordinated with haematology and chemotherapy colleagues in advance and on the day to ensure essential immediate pre-surgery preparations and subsequent follow up. Mr Chitsabesan was initially highly recommended to me by my GP for which on the basis of the entirely successful, comfortable and clearly explained intervention I received, and the timely follow up appointment I enjoyed with Mr Chitsabesan personally, I could not be more grateful and have no hesitation in highly recommending him.
