As an 80 year old who had never had a general anaesthetic, the prospect of surgery to repair my inguinal hernia was daunting. I chose Sanjay Agrawal from a list provided by my private health insurer. His professional qualifications are second to none; but just as important to me his interpersonal skills (as things turned out) are outstanding. On my first visit, he examined me to confirm the hernia then ordered an ultrasound. He also explained fully the options and risks. Bottom line was that the hernia would not recover of its own accord and would most likely get worse over time. So we agreed on surgery; and Mr Agrawal advised against keyhole surgery for various reasons, most notably that it would involve an injection of air that could put unnecessary pressure on heart and other organs (I don't feel 80 but perhaps those organs do!!). Everything was set out in a letter to my GP and copied to me. The surgery went well and I am now 4 weeks into recovery, having just attended a follow-up visit with Mr Agrawal. He seemed as pleased with the outcome as I am. In summary, Mr Agrawal was caring, informative and very professional. I would recommend him to anyone.

I was experiencing stomach pain which was diagnosed as an Umbilical Hernia. I visit Mr Agrawal who guided me through the whole process to repair the issue. His professionalism was exceptional and his overall demeanour put me at my ease. I would thoroughly recommend Mr Agrawal for this or any other related treatment and personally I wouldn’t hesitate to use his services again. Thank you.

Dr Agrawal was understanding and explained every step. My surgery was made clear and all the risks explained too. On Surgery day he did a wonderful job and repaired three hernias in one operation. At my post surgery review he explained what had been done and even showed me photos of the hernia and the repairs.
