He’s a very funny respectful person and he listens to you when you are talking.

Mr Roy Gurprashad is truly an exceptional doctor and surgeon. He has now performed surgery on all three of my children including my twin daughters and my youngest and I honestly cannot put into words how grateful I am for the care he has given our family. The moment I found out that Mr Gurprashad would be carrying out my youngest child’s surgery after having such an amazing experience with my twins I felt completely at ease. I was 100 percent relaxed and had full faith that everything would be handled with the highest level of care and professionalism. As a parent that feeling is priceless. What makes Mr Gurprashad stand out is not just his medical skill but the way he connects with children and parents. He is incredibly patient kind and friendly and he has a wonderful way of explaining what is happening in a way that children can really understand. He took the time to talk to my children calmly and reassuringly which made such a difference to their confidence and comfort before surgery. They felt safe and so did I. He never makes you feel rushed and always listens carefully to any concerns. Every question is answered clearly and kindly which helps take away so much of the anxiety that naturally comes with your child having surgery. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and their families and that means everything. In terms of improvements it is honestly hard to suggest anything because the care we received was outstanding. If anything it would be lovely if more families could have access to him because he truly makes such a stressful experience feel manageable and safe. I would recommend Mr Roy Gurprashad without hesitation to any parent. We feel incredibly lucky to have had him look after all three of our children and I will always be grateful for the skill compassion and reassurance he has given us.

We recently met with Mr Roy Gurprashad who will soon be performing surgery on our daughter, and I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. From the moment he greeted us, he made both of us feel completely at ease. He took the time to speak directly to her, not just to us as parents, and did so in a way that was warm, relatable, and genuinely reassuring. What stood out most was his ability to explain everything clearly while also keeping the atmosphere calm and positive. He answered every question with patience and kindness, never rushing us, and made sure our daughter understood what to expect in a way that didn’t frighten her. By the end of the appointment, she felt confident and even uplifted which is something I never expected going into a surgical consultation. He also encouraged her future goals and interests, speaking to her like a whole person, not just a patient. That level of respect and encouragement meant the world to us. We left feeling fully informed, supported, and genuinely confident in his care. It’s rare to find a surgeon who is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also so compassionate and reassuring. We are truly grateful to have him looking after our daughter.

What a great experience. Dr Gurprashad immediately put my 6 year old son at ease and spent a minute or two asking questions about his favourite foods, what he loves most about school etc. It was clear my son felt comfortable very quickly. Dr Gurprashad carefully and clearly explained the reason for the appointment, the procedure and the next steps to my son and I. I would highly recommend Dr Gurprashad.

Dr Gurprashad was fantastic with my son. Put him at ease before the examination and talked to him on a level he understood. My son says he was kind, great and he made me smile. He was also very polite.

Mr Guprashad has a nice way with children.He included our young son in discussions about his care. He spoke directly to him putting him at esse, asking abkut hus cincerns and questions . In particular he took into account our son's needle phobia. Mr Gurprashad inspires confidence, and indeed the surgery and subsequent recovery went well. Thank you.

Very interested in you as a total person which was confidence inspiring and reassuring. At all times fully explained conditions ,procedures and solutions. Treatment was handled competently and with skill and at all times I was informed as to what the situation was with me and the steps that would be taken. His friendly patient focused style made the whole procedure from start to finish as stress free as you could get. In a busy world with high demands on his time he made the interaction feel as though all he was interested in was the best outcome for me.

I was taken by ambulance to the Luton & Dunstable Hosp in significant pain, tests & procedures were carried out & I was put under the surgical team led by Mr Roy Gurprashad. A diagnoses of an internal abscess was concluded & surgical treatment agreed, this was explained at great length by Mr RG & pain relief started. However, due to the surgical list & easter break it was not possible to operate until 10 days later, at all times i was kept informed by Mr RG & his team in a very polite & friendly manner. The operation proved to be successful & i was discharged 24 hours later with follow up appointments with Mr RG to review progress. At all times i felt fully involved in the discussions & plans & by his friendly, experienced nature confident in a successful outcome. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to others & commend him to pass on great social & medical skills to his team.
