Mr Heman Joshi

Excellent, respectful and responsive. Made the experience very simple and provided follow on support

I had a unilateral inguinal hernia repair which Mr Joshi effected via robotically assisted laparoscopic surgery. My recovery has been remarkably pain free. Only paracetamol from the second day after surgery and no other issues. Based on my experience I can recommend both Mr Joshi and the robotically assisted approach.

Very professional person and service. Explained everything clearly. Made me feel very comfortable and relaxed with the whole journey considering surgery is not a pleasant experience. The facilities were clean and bright.

I appreciated the continuity and courtesy.

Following my recent hernia operation I attended an appointment with Mr Joshi to confirm there were no problems and to be discharged. Mr Joshi was excellent from my first assessment to my final visit. Kind, considerate, carefully explaining what was involved in the operation and aftercare. I couldn't have asked for better.

Very pleased with my consultation could not have gone better

Very good consultant

Mr Joshi was very professional and approachable. He answered all my questions to my satisfaction. The robotic procedure was a complete success.

Visit was very comfortable, calm and friendly, everything was explained during the procedure. The procedure itself was the most comfortable I've had compared to previous.

I had a robotic right hemicolectomy. My operation had been postponed twice for 3 weeks total during the heatwave. I was given clear instructions for preparing for surgery which I followed precisely. On the day I was kept comfortable and informed and watched over until my surgery. In Recovery I was attended to continuously by a nurse at the foot of my bed for 24 hours. I was walked around the entire Recovery ward on nurse Lorraine’s arm twice. On ward M4 I had blood pressure etc checked every 2 hours. Blood was taken and blood thinners given each day. I was asked regularly about pain levels. When my early bowel recovery surprised me (I had not eaten for 72 hours and thought it was wind) the nurses were prompt, efficient and discreet. The doctors explained what had happened (stomach acid) and told me how best to continue my progress. The clinical staff liaised well with the caterers so I did not do myself harm by eating or drinking inappropriately. I had a plan for reintroducing various foods. Once when my first choice meal had run out I was given a substitute which I rejected and my chosen 2nd choice was then delivered. The Housekeeper personally brought me the drinks I had specifically requested. I felt little pain and was free range 40 hours after surgery which suggests it must have been done expertly. I was told I could go home after 2 nights on the ward, but when I had severe diarrhoea through the night I was allowed to stay another 24 hours. From packing and leaving my bed I sat at the end of the ward for 3.5 hours and waited another 3.5 hours for my medic...
