I had a gallbladder and appendix removed laparoscopically in July.
I received amazing care from the start to finish at St.Mary's Hospital, Lindo Wing.
Mr. Sanjay Purkayastha is a compassionate, caring, dedicated, experienced surgeon who is always prepared to go the extra mile to ensure that the patient receives the best care.
He took great care in explaining in detail both procedures and the associated risks and answered all my questions.
I am very pleased with the results and am very greatful to Mr. Purkayastha and his team for looking after me so well.
THANK YOU.
I would highly recommend Mr. Purkayastha services and once again thank you for your wonderfully skilled hands.

I am a Sixth Form student, aspiring to pursue a career in medicine at university. Last February I was accepted into a work experience scheme at St Mary's Hospital, under Mr Purkayastha's wings and it was an unforgeattable and very inspiring time for me. I was absolutely impressed by Mr Purkayastha's knowlege, skills and above all a very kind and professional approach to his patients. He is a great team leader and watching him perform operations only reinforced my desire to go into this challenging, but also rewarding profession. I would definitely recommend Mr Purkayastha to all patients, he is a truly great doctor and a trustworthy person and he will definitely remain my role model for the future.

Mr. Purkayastha operated on me for an inguinal hernia. This would normally be a fairly straightforward operation. However, there were some complicating factors being;
a.I had several major operations in earlier years leaving a substantial amount of scar issue, and
b. a history of smoking and a tendency to have fairly severe chest infections on a regular basis.
Mr. Purkayastha talked me through the various options and answered all my questions in a straightforward manner. At all times he was available to answer any additional queries and also ensured following the operation that I knew the potential problems that could occur if I did not follow his advice.
I would recommend him to any patient.
David Cardwell.

Mr. Purkayastha played a vital role in assisting Mr. Ahmed Ahmed with my gastric bypass in 2011 and subsequently assisting Mr. Naggy Matar in saving my life in 2013. Mr. Purkayastha is an extremely talented surgeon, who is very approachable, compassionate, empathetic and appears to be very passionate about delivering fantastic patient care. I have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Purkayastha on a few occasions and he always presents as professional, warm, approachable, humble and patient focused.

I was recently admitted with a quite nasty case of appendicitis and was fortunate enough that a great Doctor recommended that I was seen by Sanjay Purkayastha, for which I am very grateful. Sanjay was brilliant, under some very testing circumstances and showed empathy, understanding and, above all, expertise and knowledge. I felt in very safe hands and my surgery went very well; I was at home within two days and back at work within four and I only have a three tiny scars to show from the operation... incredible.
