Not a pleasant op but couldn't fault any of the staff. My only complaint abt Addenbrooks would be the food
I had a bilateral hernia repair, via robotic surgery. Mr Joshi was excellent throughout the entire process, from pre-op assessment through to the surgery and then the follow-up appointment afterwards. He has a friendly, warm manner that instils confidence, and explains things thoroughly and clearly. I have no reservations in recommending Mr Joshi. He is an experienced and empathetic professional at the top of his field.
Mr Joshi is calm, compassionate and knowledgeable. From the very first ‘consultation’, he made me feel completely at ease and took so much of the stress away from the surgery. I have now had three surgeries with Mr Joshi, and I can honestly say he has completely transformed my life for the better. Not only is he incredibly skilled surgically, but he also truly cares about his patients as people. He listens, explains everything clearly and never makes you feel rushed or dismissed. Throughout some very difficult moments, his reassurance and kindness made a huge difference to me. I will always be grateful for the care I received from him and his team. Mr Joshi is the type of surgeon every patient hopes to have.
I appreciated the time I was given today with Mr Joshi in Clinic 4 at Addenbrooke’s. It’s difficult waiting months for an appointment and worrying about saying the right things without missing important information. I found it helpful to write notes beforehand to remind myself of everything I wanted to explain. Once you are finally face to face, the consultant’s experience and professionalism really put you at ease. For me, it was important to explain how I came to be here, especially as I had already self-diagnosed and gone gluten free, so this information was not formally recorded in my NHS notes. I feel confident that the next steps to a diagnosis will be addressed, even though there is still another period of waiting ahead.
Mr Joshi, is so professional, friendly, caring, very good at explaining in a way you can understand. Can't fault him at all
Mr Joshi was very precise with his explanation and made me at ease with his findings. He also gave me all the possible treatment options that were available
Everyone made me feel very comfortable and at ease. Couldn’t praise them enough ☺️
Attended Addenbrookes Hospital for a Colonoscopy, not the nicest procedure to have but throughout it all I was kept abreast of what they were doing in a professional and light hearted way. Made the experience a lot less daunting.
Really friendly and explained things in detail but in a way that was very understandable. I thoroughly recommend Mr Joshi.
Excellent colleague and surgeon
