Having put off an embarrassing issue for a few years, I was encouraged by my wife to seek a medical opinion. She booked this appointment having done some background research. I went with her to the appointment and was immediately put at ease by Mr Gunendran. He was very kind, patient and understanding. I wish I had plucked up the courage to deal with my problem sooner and am glad I finally did. I have had a great outcome after surgery.
I booked in at short notice to see a urologist (Mr Gunendran) due to an urgent problem which he sorted for me quickly. He was knowledgeable, professional, supportive and courteous. I would highly recommend him.
I had a very useful consultation with Mr Gunendran who outlined a few surgical options for my enlarged prostate. He helped guide me through the risks and benefits and I had a good outcome after surgery. He was very patient, knowledgeable and has an amazing bedside manner.
I had to undergo a circumcision due severe phimosis, BXO, and inflammation. It’s hard to do this once you’re in your 40s but Dr. Gunendran was exceptional in his treatment. He took the time to explain everything and is a very good surgeon. The post-surgery results are great and whilst it will take time to get used to a different looking buddy, I’m confident that all will be well. No dicking about from Dr. Gunendran - I’d highly recommend him to anyone considering this procedure.
Very punctual telephone appointment to discuss scan results which were explained clearly with a plan for future symptoms.
It was a pleasure to consult with Mr Gunendran. He was friendly and knowledgable, taking time to patiently answers all my questions. He put me at ease with the tests he requested. I will not hesitate to recommend him to my friends and family.
Mr Gunendran was very compassionate and sympathetic to my issue
Thank you and I hope you will have your surgery soon
Excellent visit and review, suggested I catheterise in the morning, which I have just switched to
