I went to see Dr Basavaraju not holding out much hope as I had been going back and forth to my drs and the hospital for scans for a few years. Having suffered with severe stomach and side pains for years I thought I’d go private to see if it made a difference. He was very nice and explained what he thought it could be. I got an appointment through quite quickly and was in hospital to have a procedure. He thought he realised what my problem was and I was given medication for it and it turned out to be what he thought. This is the longest time I have been without a sore side and stomach for about 7-8 years. I am so glad that I went to see Dr Basavaraju and would highly recommend him and the Albyn hospital.
