I recently underwent an inguinal hernia mesh operation performed by Mr. Thiruppathy, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care I received. From the initial consultation to post-operative follow-ups, Mr. Thiruppathy demonstrated a remarkable level of expertise and professionalism. The surgical team's efficiency and attention to detail were evident throughout the process, creating a sense of confidence and reassurance. Mr. Thiruppathy took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, addressing any concerns I had and ensuring I felt informed and comfortable. The surgery itself was executed with precision, and the recovery has been smoother than I anticipated. Mr. Thiruppathy and the entire staff exhibited genuine care and empathy, making a challenging experience much more manageable. I highly recommend Mr. Thiruppathy for anyone in need of hernia surgery. His skill, compassion, and dedication to patient well-being truly set him apart. I am grateful to have had such a skilled surgeon overseeing my care, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results.

Overall I've had a great experience with Mr Thiruppathy, he provided an excellent explanation of the surgery recommended also the available alternative options. Surgery went very well with no complications and I was fully informed by Mr Thiruppathy of the possible initial side effects and expected length of recovery with advice on aftercare. Thank you.

I had banding for haemorrhoid’s which took place during my first . consultation. I am so pleased I didn’t have any build up to a second apt for the procedure which was really quick and a little uncomfortable for a few days afterwards (take time off work discomfort for a few days for me) but I would not hesitate to have it done again to relieve the discomfort and stop the bleeding from the actual condition. I am sure everyone has their own preferences but for me the service and treatment was excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Thiruppathy.

Lovely man, who listened to me and explained everything I needed to know. Maybe more time post op when husband was around to discuss what was likely to experience immediately after and how it went as I was too spaced out to understand much but it was just before Christmas so lots of personal things going on for all involved. Overall though, he was great surgeon and very nice man. Would highly recommend

I have worked closely with Mr Kumaran Thiruppathy for the past 8 years. He is an outstanding Surgeon and clinician. We regularly perform combined complex robotic and open operations together. These are always very enjoyable as his skill as a Surgeon and the care and diligence he approaches all his patients, is inspiring. He has taught me a great deal over the years, and his number is always the first number I would call if I needed general surgical advice or guidance. I regularly refer him patients, as I know they are in very safe hands with him.
