Patient Feedback

  • I should be most grateful if you would also pass on my thanks to Prof Viswanath, Dr Brohi and the other members of the TVH team who looked after me. Everyone was patient and highly professional. The care and facilities were outstanding from start to finish

  • I wish to express my thanks and gratitude for a first class service. I was an NHS referral for an inguinal hernia repair. From the receptionists, nurses, finally the surgery staff, in particular Mr Viswanath and the nurses post op I received a first class service. Everyone was polite and professional, the appointments were on time, the procedure was done with minimal fuss and post op was fairly pain free. Thanks to Mr Viswanath for a stirling service and for being a credit to the health profession.
    April 2021
  • I have just had my final check with Mr Viswanath. I am writing to let you know how wonderful your staff have been during my treatment. From the ladies on the reception desk to my MRI, gastroscopy and pre and post op care. I have been well looked after and treated with respect. I have also appreciated the time taken to explain my treatment and the results. Mr Viswanath even showed me photograph results. I very much appreciate the care I have received and thank you and your staff.
