I had a single mastectomy without reconstruction an year ago. The surgery went well, no complications, quick recovery, good follow-up. In addition to his skills as a surgeon, Mr Pittathankal showed support and understanding , gave me comprehensive explanations , and plenty of time to understand and decide together what choice is the best for me. The 1 year follow-up visit this July was reassuring that I am in good care.

Dr Anthony has been absolutely brilliant throughout my care. From the very first appointment, he made me feel comfortable, listened carefully to my concerns, and explained everything in a clear and reassuring way.

I recently had an inguinal hernia repair carried out by Mr Antony Pittathanka, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional care I received. From the very first consultation, Mr Pittathanka was warm, reassuring, and genuinely attentive — he took the time to explain every step of the procedure clearly and patiently, putting my mind completely at ease. On the day of surgery, his calm professionalism and friendly manner made all the difference. The operation went smoothly, and my recovery has been excellent — a true reflection of his surgical precision and expertise. What stood out most was his kindness and humanity. He treated me not just as a patient, but as a person, ensuring I felt comfortable, informed, and supported at every stage. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mr Pittathanka to anyone needing hernia surgery or related procedures. He is a highly skilled surgeon with a compassionate approach — a combination that inspires complete confidence. Thank you, Mr Pittathanka, for your outstanding care and for making what could have been a daunting experience such a positive one. O.H. (School Maths Teacher)
