From our first consultation with Professor Kotecha we instantly felt a sigh of relief. That we was finally being listened to on our daughters ongoing problems. From that first consultation we knew our daughter was in safe hands. He was absolutely great with her and she especially enjoyed his magic tricks! The operation went very well and she’s had a very smooth recovery. It’s been 2 weeks since my daughter’s surgery, we have noticed a significant improvement that we will be forever grateful for. Thank you again Professor Kotecha. You have been truly amazing!

Professor Kotecha has been nothing but amazing. After years of being unwell, after one appointment and an operation he has managed to help me and I feel so much better. Nothing is too much to ask and he has been professional and so helpful throughout the time I have been a patient of his. He made sure to explain to me everything that would be happening and why it would need to happen and this really put my mind to rest as a nervous patient! Professor Kotecha shows he really cares about his patients and the aftercare from him is above and beyond. Would definitely recommend and if I had any problems again I would make sure to see professor Kotecha again.
