Mr Varghese is an amazing doctor. I was advised what would happen during operation and had numerous follow ups. He also recognised that the pain I had after surgery was too extreme so did an urgent MRI to understand why I had so much pain. It showed cervical radiculopothy which now means my NHS doctor can treat me when previously they had put the pain down to the tendon issue I had the operation for. Thank you Mr Varghese for resolving my tendon issue, your empathy, support and for getting me a correct diagnosis. Couldn't have asked for a better doctor.

Mr Varghese is very professional and communicates in a way that as a lay person I was put at ease and felt comfortable in asking questions. I would recommend him to anyone with any of the symptoms I had. The consultation was not rushed and ended with him asking if there was anything else he could help with. I felt very valued as a patient
