Mr Barod is fantastic communicator, shows genuine empathy and care, and is also an incredibly talented surgeon. I am so grateful that I have been under his care and that he has guided me through this difficult journey over the past six months.
Mr Ravi Barod is an excellent and extremely competent doctor, and I would highly recommend him. He performed a robotic nephrectomy ( removal of my right kidney) using modern robotic technology, which meant my stay in the hospital was shortened, and my recovery after the operation was quicker than it would have been.
He was happy to explain the procedure I was about to undergo and discuss any concerns I had with me and my husband. As such he was able to reassure me.
Dr Barod has made me comfortable and reassured throughout the first stages of my pre-care, surgery and post care. He has always explained the detail in a way which is easy to understand, something that is greatly appreciated at an unnerving time.
Mr Barod is clearly fully committed to his work and patients. He was also naturally good at putting me at ease at a time of great anxiety. I feel indebted to his excellent surgical work and would highly recommend him.
Mr Barod acted through out my care in a thoroughly professional and caring manner.
He took time to explain each step in my treatment.
He listened to our questions and gave answers that reassured and made me feel confident that I had the best Surgeon I could have.
I can only reiterate that he made a very difficult time for me and my family much easier to deal with
Thank you very much and I wish you well for the future
