Mr Gurjar was excellent - very calm; informative; and matter of fact. Made me feel at ease from start to finish. Would highly recommend him.

Dr. Gurjar has great integrity and empathy. He has great presence and is highly intelligent and has a way of explaining a procedure and your symptom in a way that is very comprehensible. After my Consultation I was under no illusion what my procedure would be like. Dr. Gurjar and his team were phenomenal (thank you also to Michael and the other gentleman). Everything they were doing was for my benefit and they did what they could to make feel at ease and comfortable. They had a job to do and they were friendly and professional about achieving the outcome. Dr. Gurjar had during the Consultation recommended further tests. It makes complete sense to go ahead with these additional tests as there will be no possibility of anything left to escalate. Thank you Dr. Gurjar for recommending and highlighting. You really are a good person.

Mr Gurjar appears to be very active at several institutions, so I had a first consultation within 10 days of contacting him, and surgery within 4 weeks. All went very smoothly, despite the Covid precautions. Following the procedure, I did not require the Codeine prescribed, but managed with paracetamol & ibuprofen, which suggests everything was stitched up neatly.

Great experience overall, the room was nice and spacious, the care give was excellent. Recovery was painful, as expected!. I would have preferred stronger/more effective pain killers. I had questions after the procedure and they were answered in a timely manner. Dr Gurjar is very profesional and makes sure you understand what the options and implications are of your procedure. I would highly recommend him.
