I have found Dr Sanjay Purkayastha to be extremely professional and accomplished in his approach to his patients. He is welcoming helpful and takes the time to listen and explain the various issues to do with a particular health situation. He is open and approachable and makes you feel safe and comfortable under his care.
Dr Purkayastha and is Team in Bariatrics and in Endocrinology, namely Dr Saira Hameed, do remarkable work to help and care for their patients, restoring their health and giving them their lives back.
In the Bariatrics waiting area at St Mary's Hospital there is a plaque praising the Department and citing it as a Centre of Excellence. I could not agree more.

I met Mr Sanjay as an emergency patient. I was comforted with his thorough explanation of his course of action. I believe he is an excellent and kind doctor who showed me great care and patience before & after my operation.I was reassured with his post operative care and close eye until I went safely back to my country.
