I found Sanjay Purkayastha to be an extremely helpful and professional doctor/surgeon. I very much appreciated the care and attention that he provided. I was impressed with his knowledge and appreciated the follow up appointment. In a world where many patients become almost lost in the out patient system, it was refreshing to find a doctor who puts patients first no matter how busy they are. Well done Mr Purkayastha for helping to making NHS the best health service in the world.

Very warm welcome, great attention to what the patient has to say. Very open with medical assessment and ready to discuss the patient's condition and its details which helps the patient make a learned decision.
I saw Mr Purkayastha twice and felt comfortable and safe under his care. I trust his judgement and recommendations.

Sanjay is a wonderful Doctor. He was very professional and very kind. He took the time to talk me through the procedure I was having and answered all my questions very patiently. I am not a fan of going to the Doctors or the Hospital, however Sanjay put me totally at ease.
I couldn't be happier with the care and support I received from him and would highly recommend him.
His PA Marcela was so lovely and kind and she added to the overall experience of the great support I received. They make a great team!
