Reviews
I was put at ease from start to finish. all procedures where explained and carried out with great care and attention.
I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Sivaraj. Not only is he a great Surgeon, but excels at the care and empathy shown.
He takes time to discuss how he wants the best outcome for you and strives to give that outcome.
I found him very friendly, approachable and will always take time to discuss and answer questions or concerns you may have.
Mr Sivaraj is a very caring surgeon. Totally professional and fully explicit in what to expect both pre op and post op. He was very easy to communicate with and should I have had problems, which I didn't, I would have had no hesitation in contacting him.
Can not find a bad word to say. He listens and puts you at ease. 100% confidence in this doctor. Its reassuring to be in his company. Always smiling, an example to all, how to conduct oneself. Operation went well, now for the second. Thanks Mrs Chater.
Friendly, approachable. Explained what was going to happen in a clear and understandable manner. I would happily see him again if need arose.
