Patients value his thorough explanations for procedures, feeling informed and confident with treatments like bariatric surgery and hernia repair. His clear communication regarding expectations before, during, and after surgery, coupled with effective post-operative support, leads to smooth recoveries and positive outcomes.

Mr Munasinghe was very clear of his diagnosis. He was very sympathetic and helpful.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Truly Outstanding Surgeon I was recently under the care of Mr. Munasinghe for a complex operation involving the removal of my pancreas as well as a hernia repair. From my very first consultation, he was charming, thoughtful, and incredibly reassuring. He took the time to explain every step of the process clearly, which immediately made me feel safe and confident in his care. The procedure itself was completed within a day, and throughout my recovery I felt completely supported. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care made an enormous difference during what could have been a very daunting experience. I am deeply grateful to Mr. Munasinghe for his exceptional care, kindness, and expertise. Patrick F.
Mr Munasinghe was very clear in explaining the medical situation at our original consultancy meeting, includng outlining the options open to me. In doing so he listened and responded to the questions asked thus enabling a constructive two way conversation. He was equally attentive, pre and post surgery, on the day of the actual operation and susequent final consultancy meeting..
Gallbladder removal. Great experience and healing very nicely.
Very kind patient Doctor Explained things throughly Spent time with me.
I booked an appointment with Mr Munasinghe for a second opinion. He explained the options thoroughly and offered guidance that was far clearer than what I had received from the previous surgeon. His approach gave me the confidence I needed to proceed with the procedure. The surgery went exactly as planned, and my recovery unfolded just as he had described. I would highly recommend Mr Munasinghe.
The surgeon team was fantastic .explained the procedure and followed me up before I left the ward. The nursing team especially the HCA need to be more caring and be empathetic in relation to their patients. At times they did not introduce them selves, my curtains were left open and privacy was not respected.
Mr Munasinghe was very good at explaining what he was going to do, I felt completely confident that I was in good hands and there would be a satisfactory outcome. I was interested to see the procedure so he took photos and following the surgery brought them in to explain what he had done, he is clearly passionate about his work. I recovered very quickly with minimal pain and was able to go back to work and the gym after the recovery period. He called me to check that all had healed as expected and offered a check up which I declined as I didn't feel I needed it.
First class surgeon with excellent laparoscopic skills and a clear commitment to quality, governance and education in surgery.
