What an incredible man! I approached mr purkayastha as the NHS was not prepared to help in view of the risks.
On first meeting Mr Purkayastha was already fully conversant with my complex medical history, explained why the NHS practitioners had been reluctant to help but he felt there were some risk mitigation actions and was prepared to go ahead provided no reason not to was highlighted by his key multi disciplinary team..
He was extremely thorough, personable, explained things very clearly, was assertive where necessary, took total control of my care throughout the process and came up with creative workaround where My body made things more challenging.
He took personal responsibility fir my well being at huge expense to himself, walking me like a hawk post operative my when I wasn’t behaving as expected.
I cannot thank mr purkayastha for listening to
Me, being prepared to take me on and making such a big difference to my life quality. My family and I had total trust in him and are eternally grateful!

Mr Purkayastha has been respectful and sensitive in the manner he addresses me, I feel like an individual who is able to actively participate in the care and that has been provided. I applaud the whole department including the reception staff, nurses and Dieticans . I am truly grateful.

After emergency life changing operation Mr Purkayastha was the surgeon who carried out the operation. I woke up to minimal of scarring and alive. Mr Purkayastha took the time out of busy schedule to talk to my family and explain and reassure them all of what had happened and the surgery undertaken and the implementations of what will happen next when this could of easily be passed to someone else. When I went back for my follow up I was meet quickly and was recognised immediately which was very reassuring, by the Mr Purkayastha which makes me fill very reassured with the care I am getting and I'm not a faceless name on a list. In my after care which was very professional and set my mind at ease as Mr Purkayastha explained everything in detail and in layman terms which I could understand. This is what makes the NHS great doctors like this. Nothing but praise for him and his team Thank you

I highly recommend Dr Purkayastha. He operated on me with very short notice due to an emergency issue with my appendix and made me feel very calm and well looked after throughout. I am very grateful to Dr. Purkayastha's professional yet kind approach and have no hesitation in recommending him and his staff to others.

A few years ago, I was taken in an ambulance to St Mary's suffering from severe abdominal cramps which turned out to be an intestinal obstruction.
Prof Hana and Sanjay Purkayastha were on duty that day. They saved my life....
The bowel had become ischemic...and they carried out a very successful resection. I have no doubt in my mind that if not for them and their level of competence, the situation would have been fatal.
Sanjay is thoroughly professional, kind, capable and helpful. A total gentleman too.
