Mr Shetty approached a serious subject of possible cancer very delicately, but with truth of possibilities of outcome. He co-ordinated with another department to do the operations on the same day, which is rare as far as I know. He was clear in his explanation of what would happen in the operation and possible outcomes, but sensitively. He took my views of my preferred approach and outcome and was mindful during the operation. He did the Robotic operation. He came and saw me following day and explained aftercare in the hospital and after discharge. Follow up appointment was within 3 weeks, and explained the overall outcome very professionally, clear English and the professional body language. The healing from the operation is extremely good.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Mr Shetty for the excellent care I received during the excision of a lump from my chest wall. From my initial consultation through to the procedure and post-operative care, Mr Shetty demonstrated a high level of clinical expertise, professionalism and attention to detail. He explained the procedure clearly, answered my questions patiently, and ensured that I felt reassured and well informed throughout. His bedside manner was excellent—he was approachable, compassionate and genuinely attentive to my concerns. I also greatly appreciated the confidence and precision with which he performed the surgery. His surgical skills were outstanding, and the whole experience was handled with great care and professionalism. The advice and guidance I received regarding post-operative wound care, recovery and what to expect afterwards were particularly helpful. I felt well supported and knew what to look out for during my recovery. Overall, I am extremely grateful to Mr Shetty and his team for the high standard of care I received. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to others seeking a skilled, knowledgeable and compassionate surgical consultant.
Very pleased with my experience with Mr Shetty and his team. He has a calm demeanour and put me at ease during my emergency admission and surgery.
I had a good experience with regards to my procedure starting from admission to discharge. Mr. Shetty explained the procedure in a way that I will understand it fully and in a professional manner. He deals with his patient with compassion and prifessionalism
Mr Shetty is an exceptionally skilled surgeon. He was recommended to me by a friend whose mother was faced with a similar health issue as mine. My booking was straightforward and I was glad that I was able to obtain a slot without a long wait. Mr Shetty was professional and empathetic in his approach, he was able to allay my anxieties and discuss my treatment options in detail. He not only took time to answer all my questions but also provided some illustrations and gave clear explanations regarding treatment steps and plans to support my recovery/ follow up. My minimally invasive robotic surgery went according to plan and the best part was that I was out of hospital surprisingly quickly. My family and I are most grateful to his intervention and calm support. I highly recommend Mr Shetty.
Staff were very caring and helpful.Thr consultant gave the fullest explanations of the procedure and explained all he was doing. This was a check up visit and I was delighted the operation site had healed up completely. Indeed I had to have pointed out where the scar had been. I considered it had been a 100 per cent successful procedure.
Great colleague. Fantastic robotic surgeon
