Explanation

I was referred to him by neuro-oncology to help me better control seizures. He has been excellent- he explained everything really clearly and prescribed me new medication which is working. I feel like I have my independence back now. He told me to contact him anytime via his secretary and gave me her details, offered to speak to occupational health at my job. I am very lucky that I was referred to him.

I was very fortunate to meet Dr Karunaratne who investigated and confirmed my diagnosis of epilepsy. I am so thankful to Dr Kushan and his team. They treated me with the upmost care and attention.

Dr Karunaratne is a brilliant neurologist. He has been looking after me for some time now. With him we have a discussion and make a joint treatment plan together. My migraine headaches and epilepsy are significantly better since I started seeing him. I would strongly recommend him as a neurologist.

Explanation

Dr Kushan is an incredible Consultant, who continues to go above and beyond in my care. My condition was extremely rare and where other consultants shied away, Doctor Kushan boldly took my case on and assured me and my young family that he would do his upmost to ensure everything would be ok and he has remained true to his word! After four months in Charing Cross Hospital, he worked tirelessly to find the right surgeon to operate on me, even facing set backs, he continued to fight my corner, resulting in great success! Dr Kushan is the most professional, diligent, caring and compassionate Doctor. He not only see's the medical condition, but also the person and family unit behind it. He has worked tirelessly to find the right professionals to support me with my care, amends my medications with the aim of getting me off all medication and living a happy and healthy life with my family. Dr Kushan never makes me feel rushed when I see him. He takes a holistic approach to my care and makes me feel like I am his priority, even when I know he has hundreds of other patients - who I am sure he makes feel the same! Put simply, I would not be back home with my family, working and enjoying life if it wasn't for Dr Kushan. If Dr Kushan is your Consultant, then you are in excellent hands!
