Reviews
Quite a nice experience, the hospital was well organised and clean, the personnel was competent and helpful, they did a thorough assessment of my condition beforehand, I got an appointment in a couple of weeks with Dr Shatkar. The operation (under general anaesthesia) was swift and without issues, I didn't even need to take any pain medication afterwards.
I had been suffering from persistent fistulas for over two years. I did some research and came across a specialised procedure called VAAFT and understood that only certain surgeons could carry out this surgery. I was referred to Dr Veeranna Shatkar at Queens Hospital who carried out this procedure in January 2022. As a Dr his bedside manner was wonderful. He was reassuring and finally gave me hope that the fistula will not return after the surgery (even though I am aware fistulas can come back). I was vey frustrated at this point.
Just over one year later I write this review to express my gratitude to Dr Shatkar. The fistula has not returned and I have been moving forward with my life. Anyone who has this horrible disease please look up the VAAFT procedure.
Very pleased with the treatment I received from Mr Shatner and Nuffield Hospital in Brentwood. He explained everything carefully and I knew exactly what to expect.
Very professional, 5 star service. It was great experience with the doctor. Highly recommended.
Excellent care and service from Mr Shatkar, highly recommend, many thanks for all your help - Colin P
