Seven years ago Mr Gurjar had operated on my bowel and as I had been impressed with his surgical expertise and professionalism throughout my care, I opted to see Mr Gurjar again, as I trusted him to provide an expert opinion and treatment.
Mr Gurjar, is approachable and easy to talk to and was happy to answer and explain any questions I put to him.

Dr Gurjar is an excellent surgeon. He kept me updated about my case through every step of my surgery and has been very helpful even during the post-operative period and is ready to answer any questions before or after the surgery I would highly recommend Dr Gurjar to other patients.

Dr Gurjar was very friendly which made me feel at ease. He listened attentively and I feel gave me very good advice regarding my situation. The endoscopy itself was carried out very professionally and I felt I was in very good hands at all times which meant that the whole procedure was less stressful than I imagined it would be!
