Mr Praminthra Chitsabesan

Written by a private patient at Nuffield Hospital York

I found Mr Chitsabesan to be very friendly and reassuring regarding a colonoscopy I needed to have. He dealt with every question I had with full explanation and as a result whilst apprehensive I felt relaxed and comfortables during both the lead up and during the procedure. On the day I chose not to have sedation for the procedure and was reassured by Mr Chitsabesan that this could be changed if I found it necessary during the procedure, which I am pleased I didn't need to have sedation. Chatted to the theatre staff and Mr Chitsabesan throughout the procedure and was fully informed. Immediate after care after process was reassuring and excellent. Follow up call a few weeks later also informative and friendly manner. Would highly recommend this hospital and surgeon.

I have recently been a patient at York Nuffield Hospital. From my initial consultation through to my post-operative review I have been delighted and impressed by the care Mr Chitsabesan has given me. He always treated me with the upmost courtesy. He had a pleasant and cheerful disposition. He was very thorough in explaining my surgical options and any risks/side effects I might experience. I was very pleased with the surgery performed. The wound is neat and has healed well without any complications.

Mr Chitsabesan was kind, smiling and showed understanding. His examination was quick which was great, but afterwards I thought if he had taken more time, I would have done better in following his instruction during examination (as I was not sure I followed his instructions well when examining). Despite this, I trust his diagnosis/judgement. I felt that he was very knowledgeable, explained things in a very simple way for me to understand well. He gave me every day suggestions which I could do to improve my condition. He also thought about long-term implications of my condition. I asked my question a couple of times as I wanted to make sure that the tears have healed and he said that there was definitely a defect, but the main thing is that the muscle is not very strong. This answered half of my question so I asked again and he answered, but I still felt I was not 100% sure if my question was fully answered. It was disappointing to find out that if I had been seen earlier, maybe something could have been done to help with the defect, but due to the long waiting list, I was seen approximately 4 months after my referral. However, this is not a reflection on the doctor, more on the waiting times to see a consultant. Overall, a good experience and I felt that I was respected and heard at the appointment with Dr Chitsabesan.
