Mr Aruna Munasinghe is an excellent Doctor . I cannot fault him. He was polite, kind, patient and went out of his way to try to make an appointment that suited me. The surgery was successful and I was very impressed with the follow up appointment which was on time, reassuring and unrushed. Thank you so much for your expert care.

Dr. Aruna Munasinghe is an exceptional bariatric surgeon who performed my gastric sleeve surgery back in January 25, 2024.

He patiently answered all my questions and addressed any concerns I had, making me feel confident in moving forward with the procedure.

Mr Munasinghe carried out key hole surgery on an Inguinal hernia 8 weeks ago and I can honestly say I am delighted with the way the whole procedure has gone. From the initial consultation it was made clear to me exactly what was involved and what to expect in terms of recovery. On the day itself, he came to visit me in the morning, answered my questions, and put me at ease. I went into the operating theatre with a very positive mind. Given full and detailed advice on what to do and what not to do on returning home, the recovery period was short as Mr Munasinge had told me it should be, and I am now back doing the sports that I enjoy. I am therefore a highly satisfied patient and certainly recommend this type of surgery and this particular surgeon.
