Reviews
Mr Verma is very friendly and caring. I trusted him with everything and I did not have any problem. I would recommend Mr Verma to all of my family members or friends.
Decided to make an appointment to see Mr Sanjay Verma after having nasal polyps removed 13 times over the past 30 years.
Mr Verma has an excellent manner, he listens to what you have to say, he is very friendly and approachable but also very professional.
Subsequent investigations prior to the op were all performed swiftly and efficiently.
On the day of the op Mr Verma saw me prior to theatre, he was very informative and reassuring, 12hrs later before I was discharged there he was again checking all was ok.
The operation itself went very smoothly, no post operative complications at all, 1 week after the op I could smell and taste after years of being unable to do either.
There was no nasal blockage or bleeding at all afterwards.
All in all the whole experience has been excellent, if anyone is thinking of seeing an ENT surgeon then I cannot recommend Mr Verma highly enough.
I had been struggling with a nasal condition for a number of years when I was reffered to My Verma.
he listened to what my symptoms were and did not hesitate in speeding up the treatment I received which ended with an operation. The operation was successful and I feel 100% better following the treatment.
Not possible to improve on perfection. A delighted and very satisfied patient. Ronald Encell
Mr Verma was very helpful during the consultation before my Operation, explaining what the procedure would involve and the expected symptoms during recovery - he really put my mind at ease.
I am very happy with the end result - my only improvement would be the aftercare, though I do not believe Mr Verma is directly responsible for this.
My operation was mid July and I had to chase the Hospital for a follow up appointment, now three months after the op.
Other than that, I am very happy with Mr Verma's service and all the nursing staff with me on the day - I will always be grateful for those that tried to distract me during the anaesthetic!
