Mr. Sunkaraneni is a lovely man with a very caring and understanding manner. I have total confidence in him. I have had two procedures in the last 3 years involving insertion of a grommet and my earaches have gone and my hearing has returned. I'm sure he would be brilliant with children.

Really nice, kind and caring surgeon who spent time to talk to my 14 year old daughter before her operation. He explained the procedure thoroughly and was very kind and genuine - nothing was too much trouble and even helped at the weekend when out of hours and my daughter needed some assistance.

Our experience with Mr Sunkaraneni was none other than excellent. Our daughter Emma had an adenoidectomy performed by Mr Sunkaraneni last month. We never felt rushed in our pre operation or follow up appointments and he took great care in explaining to our nine year old what was happening so she was never anxious about the process. We couldn’t fault the operation itself and Mr Sunkaraneni came to see us both before and after the operation so we felt very much at ease and also that our daughter was in safe hands. Our daughter was actually rather sad when Mr Sunkaraneni told her in her follow up appointment that his work was done as she enjoyed chatting with him so much! We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending his services to others and were very impressed by the professionalism of Mr Sunkaraneni and his team.

Mr Sunkaraneni has fitted my daughter with grommets twice - aged 4 and this week, aged nearly 8. Instead of just asking about her language development and whether she was doing ok academically at school, he listened to the whole story - about how she had stopped playing with friends at school because she couldn't keep up with the conversations and how she had changed personality because she felt so cut off. He is always really kind and gentle with Lola and did a great job both times with the grommet surgery, as well as all the appointments before and after. I would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone with a child with hearing problems.
