Mr Gurjar's manner was warm and friendly. After establishing the nature if my concern he asked clear questions and listened carefully to my responses. Mr. Gurnard did a thorough examination with a chaperone present. His explanations were given in a manner that allowed for my comments and questions to be fully satisfied before ensuring that I was clear as to the next steps to be taken. I would recommend Mr. Gurnard without hesitation.

At consultation and pre-op at the bedside, Mr Gurjar was very friendly, personable and explained everything very clearly and in an understandable way, not in any technical medical language.

Excellent manner &service

I left my first meeting with him feeling more knowledgeable about my condition and reassured that I was in a safe pair of hands. My experience of the procedure was just as he said it would be and he explained what he was doing throughout and answered all my questions. In my follow up consultation (and during the procedure) he told me how to manage my condition and what my options are if it were to get worse. I would have no hesitation in recommending him or returning to him if needed.
Thank you for your kind words and positive response!

I have been under the care of Mr Gurjar for internal and external hemorrhoids. After examination including a colonoscopy he explained every possible option I had for a treatment. He was very patient while I changed my mind twice and finally came to a decision to postpone the surgery while monitoring symptoms for another year.

Obstetrics & GynaecologyShashank is an excellent surgical opinion in all matters pertaining to bowel issues and hernias and many a time I have referred patients to him knowing that the patients are in excellent and able hands, with excellent feedback from the patients. I have also performed joint cases with him and it has always been a pleasure to exchange ideas about patient care in clinic and theatres. He is a very able, affable and friendly surgeon and colleague and I would have no hesitation in having my family member treated by him.
