A positive experience. Treatment has been effective and I was given plenty of advice regarding aftercare. I recommend Mr Dhanasekar unreservedly. He provided me with treatment for nose bleeds which was unavailable on the NHS.

Every time l saw Mr, Dhanasekar he was kind, professional and patiently listened to my questions. From my first meeting with Mr. Dhanasekar l had full confidence in him. Thank you Mr. Dhanasekar and everyone who looked after me.

Very Realistic doctor. I had undergone the Rhino-Septoplasty procedure and multiple times Mr Ganapathy Dhanasekar made everything clear to me - Ensuing pain post-surgery, not to expect my nose to fully straight, alongside other things. Despite these warnings, the procedure was successful and I experienced very little bruising, issues, or pain. I can also confirm my septum is straight and nose is very straight and aligned on my face. Thank you.
