I was suffering from back pain for over a year and when this became severe Suresh was recommended by our Medical Director at Barts Health (also where I work). To say Suresh has been amazing is an understatement. From our first appointment Suresh has been caring, taking time to listen to my issues and concerns and advising on the best course of action to help rid me of this illness. I have had two surgeries, the first by Suresh and the second by one of his colleagues. For both, Suresh took time to keep in touch post surgery to see how I was progressing and offer advise. For the second Suresh was on holiday but still took time to help me prior to and following the emergency surgery - for which I am most grateful. I feel guilty about having to message him so many times during that day to seek his advice and input, but Suresh was more than happy to help and kept in touch with his team to co-ordinate the scan and surgery. I am forever indebted to Suresh for all he has done for me (and continues to do) to help me get back to normal. It is not just about how good he is as a surgeon but also Suresh's personal touch in keeping patients informed, the polite and calm way he relays the information through to being highly approachable, which makes Suresh such great surgeon and I am really pleased to have him at Barths Health.
