I would highly recommend Mr Jethwa he is very professional, he explains things and is a pleasure to work with.
Gives amazing patient care..
After having been diagnosed with a large tumour on my adrenal gland at the beginning of the year I was referred to Mr Jethwa at Gatwick Park Hospital……and what a breath of fresh air he was ! Mr Jethwa’s friendly, caring and professional manner made a very stressful and worrying situation all the more easier to deal with. His communication skills were second to none and I received first class treatment from a very well informed and knowledgeable consultant. A post op problem was dealt with swiftly and I was reassured that I could contact Mr Jethwa at anytime had any more problems occurred.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mr Jethwa as a consultant and surgeon.
Mr Jethwa is a Professional Doctor in all aspects of his role. Mr Jethwa gives full explanation to all his patients - listens to his patients needs and meets their expectations.
Mr Jethwa maintains high standards of care and his patients have full confidence in him.
Always provides excellent care to patients in a professional, confidential and caring manor in all areas of chosen speciality.
