Mr Gurjar was very patient and understanding. He understood my condition very well and was very clear on the action need to be taken. there was very good communication both from him and his secretary so I was clear on what was happening.
I would definitely recommend him and not hesitate in seeing him again if needed.

From the first time I met Mr Gurjar he was very polite and explained things in a way I could understand and feel relaxed with the operation I was facing. He always had time to talk and listen. in my opinion Mr Gurjar is a first class Doctor and would recommend him to anyone.
I also found Mr Gurjar secretary (Anne) always seemed very happy, very kind and nothing was to much trouble for her, she always had time to listen and advise or arrange what ever was needed and if she didn't have a answer she always went out of her way and without fail get back to me when she had the answer. In my opinion Mr Gurjar and Anne make a good team and in my opinion Anne is star and first class in her job.
The hospital and rooms was very clean, and every member of staff I met was kind and polite and would recommend this hospital to anyone.
