I couldn’t speak highly enough about Dr. Niruben. Not only was he extremely thorough but he was lovely and put my anxiety at ease. I had a bad experience at a different surgery and needed a post op complication corrected. I was extremely nervous and was recommended to see Dr. Niruben as he was fantastic. The recommendation was absolutely correct and after meeting Dr. Niruben for my pre surgery consult I felt very confident I would be in good hands. He is very thorough in his explanation of surgery and the process of what to expect. Dr. Niruben eased my nerves again on surgery day as he came to see me before the procedure and his communication after surgery was fantastic. I just had my 6 week post op check and I am now fixed and starting to feel myself again. I cannot thank Dr. Niruben and his team enough.

I had an arterial bleed and had to have emergency surgery. The MET team, surgical team and ICU team were excellent. Mr Niruben also made sure to visit me daily until I was discharged a week later. He even came to see me at 8.30pm one night after finishing surgery in Berwick. Amazing doctor!!!
