Mr Veejay Bagga

Written by a NHS patient at Royal Hallamshire Hospital

Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude towards Mr Bagga. He is an outstanding gentleman. I was diagnosed with a large tumor, which is a very emotional time. I met with Mr Bagga, who very calmly and kindly talked me through the situation and what I could expect. I can only speak for myself, but in this time it was incredibly reassuring the way in which I was dealt with. Which helped me greatly. I spoke with Mr Bagga on the morning of the operation, I was extremely anxious as one would expect, however after a chat I really felt much more calm. My operation was a successful one, thankfully. Of course I faced the expected challenges that initially lay ahead, but I am very much back to being myself. A few days after the operation I was visited by Mr Bagga who came to see how I was getting along. He wasn't working that day, he was returning from a weekend away and came on the way home to see me. To which I felt he had a true concern for me and my well-being. Since the operation I have spoken with Mr Bagga several times and I'm absolutely confident that I can put my faith in him taking care of me. Also I'm pleased that after having a large chunk of my skull removed and then replaced, the rather substantial scar that initially looked gruesome has healed to a rather faint and pleasant line. I sport the "streamlined" so cannot hide it. To summarise, from start to finish Mr Bagga has been a source of continued reassurment, pleasent and honest interaction and an absolute gentleman to deal with. I have no issues, only praise for my entire experience. I believe him to be an outright professional and obviously highly accomplished in his field. I friend of my family works in the medical field is aware of his work. Their words were "...if I were to have someone perform this surgery on myself, he would be the man I would want to do it." I cannot thank the man enough and I have a deep respect and gratitude for what he has done for me.

Mr Bagga looked after our daughter who was diagnosed with a Craniopharyngioma brain tumour in 2021. The care Ivy received has been outstanding. Mr Bagga met with us a few weeks before Ivy’s major operation and explained everything to us and answered any questions we had, he really put our minds at rest. The surgery itself went really well and him and his colleagues were able to remove all of the mass which was amazing. What really struck me was how caring and companionate Mr Bagga was towards Ivy and us as parents as she was recovering afterwards. His bedside manners were perfect, he went above and beyond for us. I’ll never forget how one morning Ivy was having some complications and required regular blood tests, Mr Bagga pointed out to the nurses that Ivy still had a neck line in place so he urged them to take bloods from that rather than subject Ivy to regular and uncomfortable finger pricks. As a mum this meant a lot, it showed me just how much he cared. Mr Bagga is now a very good friend and he continues to care for Ivy and our family in a wonderful way!

Veejay saved my daughters life! He is the most personal, professional and expert practitioner I’ve ever met. His level of personal connection, genuine care and love is beyond anything we could have ever expected. Without him we could have never got through the pain of our daughters brain tumour treatment and recovery. Veejay is no longer just a doctor to us, he’s a member of our family.

I was an NHS patient under One Health and Mr Bagga was the Neurosurgeon allocated to me. He said that he would only offer me the operation if he could help improve my mobility. I felt completely comfortable with him from the outset and decided to go for it. I am 75 years old, and it was a leap of faith on my part, but I am so glad I decided to go ahead with Mr. Bagga. The surgery was done at Barlborough Hospital and everyone involved in my care were really professional and caring. I had complications and my stay had to be extended to 6 nights. However. Mr. Bagga attended me on the ward on three occasions and contacted me personally on my mobile to discuss my concerns. The nursing staff and I were amazed at his care and commitment to my wellbeing. I felt truly valued as a person and not just as another patient. I have had a lot of involvement with senior doctors and surgeons throughout my life, but have never been treated with so much compassion and respect. Mr. Bagga is unique in my experience and I cannot thank him enough.
