He was excellent in all respects but what I think was helpful to me was that before my operation he told me that I would feel him touching my face. This verbal cue was helpful as when you cannot see anything you would not know what to expect or when. Also, by talking and explaining during the operation I felt part of it rather than it was being inflicted on me. It also reassured me as I felt that it was going to plan.

This doctor is a gentleman, taking time to listen but also taking time to explain. My mother is elderly and very deaf but he spent time with her explaining in terminology that she could understand.
Her surgery was a challenge as not straight forward but he embraced the challenge and has done 5 star job. I would recommend him 100%.

Mr Sivaraj explained clearly the operation I was facing and lucidly answered all of my questions however technical. His manner towards me was exemplary and I had every confidence in him and his specialist ability. He is a credit to the NHS.
