Mr Vijay Santhanam was my surgeon for my maxillofacial and genioplasty surgery which I had done in March 2022. I honestly couldn’t recommended anyone better than Mr Vijay, he knew from day one what was needed to be done and explained this with great detail, I was slightly anxious about the surgery but he told me what would happen and what would change and was very honest. Since my surgery I am so incredibly happy with the results and not only has he fixed my jaw and chin into the new position and given me a new look, I am more confident and I can now close my mouth and breath better which I never knew was going to happen after surgery. I highly recommended Mr Vijay to anyone needing maxillofacial surgery, he is very talented and you can really see he loves his job and thrives of the outcome of these surgeries.

I had a Maxillary Osteotomy and Mr Vijay Santhanam led my care. From our initial meeting you could really tell he cared and was passionate about delivering outstanding patient care. He was very honest with me from the beginning and helped me understand the surgery and any risks associated with undergoing the operation. I felt very prepared going into my operation and the surgery went very well. I had minimal swelling and felt listened to during my recovery. This surgery has improved my quality of life and by having all my appointments at my orthodontist I felt this improved many aspects of the care I received. A team came together and worked really well together to change my life. Thank you.
