I had a gastric bypass with Mr Jayanthi at Springfield hospital in June 2024, and I am now 10 stone down, without a doubt the best decision I’ve ever made. I was extremely nervous and after reading complications that can happen I was preparing myself for the worst. I couldn’t have been more wrong, it has been the smoothest journey ever! Mr Jayanthi and all the nurses, dieticians and hospital staff at Springfield were unbelievable. He explained all my options so carefully and was honest and transparent about everything, I was fully informed and completely looked after from start to finish. Two years of aftercare, regular check in appointments with the surgeon, nurse and dietician. Always available for advice and care, which I didn’t actually need! The care before during and after the surgery from Mr Jayanthi, anaesthetist and the nurses was seamless. I would 100% recommend Mr Jayanthis and Springfield hospital, they have completely changed my life and I will never be able to thank you all enough!!

Mr Jayanthi provided an outstanding level of care from start to finish. He was calm, professional, and able to see me promptly, which immediately put me at ease. He took the time to explain everything clearly and ensured all my questions were answered thoroughly without ever feeling rushed. His approachable and empathetic manner made a real difference. The outcome has been excellent, with a smooth recovery and very little pain. I would highly recommend Mr Jayanthi to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, attentive, and patient-focused surgeon.

From the consultation through to the operation, I found that the whole experience was better than I expected. After the hernia operation there was little to no pain or swelling. The care when I awoke was very attentive and I felt cared for.

I had an open hernia repair on the 15th of January. Mr Jayanthi is a professional caring surgeon. He did a great job with my repair. I saw him today for my post op appointment. Everything has gone so well. Again he was so caring, friendly and explained to me what he had done. He was very positive and I cannot thank him enough. Such a clever man. I'm so very grateful and appreciate your care and time.
