Reviews
Mr.Gurprashad is a very pleasant and caring consultant,he explained everything so that I understood the steps of the procedure for surgery, he has been very thorough with investigation into my alignment
One of the best experiences I have had with a profession both inside and outside the medical arena.
Mr Gruprashad explained the issue and choices in clear and thorough way.
I am not normally at ease in a hospital environment but his approach left me confident on how to proceed.
Dr. Gurprashad made my three year old son feel at ease immediately. He spoke to him at his level first before addressing me. Very child focused which is so important during what can be a daunting experience for a young child. I very much appreciated Dr. Gurprashad for his clarity in explaining the diagnosis, putting my mind at ease and taking away worries and concerns for the future. My son was smiling throughout the whole appointment. That was a win for me!
We visited Mr Roy Gurprashad this afternoon for my 4 year old daughter and in her own words “I think he’s a magic doctor”. Why do you say that? I asked “because he’s going to use his magic to make me all better”.
And I’m inclined to agree with her. He’s a very engaging consultant and his presence is exceedingly refreshing and this allowed me as a mother to feel incredibly at ease with him leading the impending surgery. He listened to us both and took the time to explain everything so we were happy.
As the doctor follow my son's condition for 6 years now, since he was 3 years old. The doctor never failed to treating my son kindly and with a friendly manner. He always explains the situation and the next steps to monitor, we appreciate the service he provides and we highly recommend him.
