Mr Munasinghe was friendly and reassuring. He talked through my worries and advised me on my recovery
Mr Munasinghe was very thorough and allowed plenty of time to discuss symptoms. In my case it was determined the symptom was not related to what I thought but he felt very strongly on the symptom I was presenting. His GP letter reflected this concern and it resulted in an accelerated diagnosis and treatment plan I would not have had otherwise.
I find Mr. Aruna explain you very well what you needs to know. He & his staff made me very comfortable while he carried out the procedure of endoscopy as i was very nervous.
Aruna is a fantastic surgeon After years of working as a nurse, I am probably the worse patient you could get as I know too much!, some of my questions pre surgery were probably slightly dramatic but he answered them with ease and confidence. He was direct but kind in relation to the risks if I didn’t have surgery. He let me change my mind- twice on which option I was going to choose for my Bariatric surgery and Nothing was too much . I never felt rushed to make decisions. His bedside manner is incredible and he does not make you feel ‘different’ or a ‘failure ‘ for being obese. I felt very safe in his care. I would highly recommend him and I cannot thank Aruna enough for being supportive and helpful throughout this journey.
Super professional and friendly. He explained everything properly and I am really happy with the consultation!
I found Mr Munasinghe very clear and reassuring in explaining the various possibilities pertaining to my condition, relative to the results of the MRI scan.
Initial contact was excellent. I felt at ease and felt comfortable with his knowledge, and felt that I would be in good hands.
Mr Aruna Munasinghe was very professional and understanding. I am an anxious patient and he was very understanding.
I had gastric sleeve surgery by Mr Aruna Munasinghe. in Feb 2015. He was incredibly thouogh, very professional and kind. I was reassured and was incredibly greatfull and would highly recommend him.
Mr Munasinghe and the staff at the hospital made me feel very at ease before my operation. He talked me through what they would do and any potential risks etc. Once done the staff looked after me so well. Definitely a good experience for someone that is not very keen on hospitals.
