Reviews
I wish all Doctors were like Mr. Gurprashad! He listens to you and is very caring. Everything is explained thoroughly and his bedside manner is second to none. I think Junior Doctors should shadow him for a couple of months to enable them to learn medical etiquette!!
I had been confined to hospital for over nine months and was unable to get out of bed . I was being fed by tubes and was very unhappy as i was not making progress. Roy was very caring and got me eating again and had all the tubes removed . This was my turning point in recovery and i am now home and independent. Looking back at my time in hospital Roys intervention was fundermental in my recovery.
