Mr Gurjar is an excellent consultant and first class surgeon. The care, attention and overall service he provided me for a minor surgery was exemplary.
I have no hesitation in recommending him.
Thank you Mr Gurjar.

Dr Gurjar was always very clear and precise when we were discussing the operation. I was nervous as I suffer with anxiety and this really helped me feel more comfortable that I may have been. My surgery is healing up nicely and looks very neat, I very happy with how it went.
