I had an inguinal hernia identified when I was taken by ambulance to the Royal Surrey Hospital where I was attended by Dr. Madhaven. It was agreed that the hernia needed urgent attention so I came under his care as a private patient. The procedure took place at Mount Alvernia Hospital. I felt totally confident in Dr. Madhaven. The operation was a complete success and after 8 weeks I have regained my strength. Not only has he the medical skills he also has an excellence manner in handling patients. I would thoroughly recommend Dr. Madhaven.

Everything was excellent from the first contact to the last. The doctor was very pleasant and professional. I felt very fortunate to be treated by him. All the support staff, nusing and admin, including the doctor's NHS secretary, were excellent also. The NHS secretary for the doctor was very helpful in resolving queries and My only suggestion for improvement relates to the end of my treatment appointment, at the moment I was discharged by the nurses, when I felt poorly informed about what would happen next.
