After suffering a long time with various gastric issues, when it all ended up in pain, I had to see a specialist …and I was very lucky to be advised, by a doctor in my family, to see Dr Thillainayagam - she remembered him since she was a medical student. From my first conversation with Dr T, I felt good about my choice: he is a great listener, kind, thoughtful, compassionate and has excellent communication skills. He made me feel at ease talking to him about anything that could have been relevant to my issues. At the end of many laboratory tests and procedures, Dr T took time to explain to me his findings in a simple, friendly, warm and reassuring way. A diagnosis was found and a combination of treatment and some changes in my handling of stress have now changed my life for the better. I simply cannot find enough words to thank Dr T for all his help and kindness. I definitely would recommend him to those I know that are in need to see a brilliant gastroenterologist, a wonderful doctor with great knowledge and a warm and friendly approach.

Dr Thillainayagam is by far the leader in his field, but above that he cares and is the kindest doctor I’ve met (I’ve met a lot!). It’s not easy to find the right words of gratitude but without doubt Dr T has improved my life quality and has literally saved my life. You’re lucky if Dr T is your consultant.

I have seen Dr. Thillainayagam for many years. He has without fail sorted all my gastroenterology health issues out! l have also consulted Dr Thillainayagam to refer me to other specialists when I have had health problems outside his area of expertise. He has put me in the hands of excellent specialists. I am very lucky and grateful to have Dr. Thillainayagam looking after my health. I could not be in better hands.
