Very clear, to the point and made me feel comfortable about next steps etc.
Mr Datta is concise, clear and clinically accurate. He is personable and efficient. I have asked him to do three procedures over the years. All very successful. Highly recommended. To be trusted.
Doctor Data was very professional and despite the uncomfortable topic and underlying issue made the whole process from diagnosis through to surgery entirely manageable and removed a lot of the awkwardness. I would very much recommend him to any other patients with similar issues.
Highly professional, efficient and caring consultant. Often going the extra mile to be sure about his decisions and communicating them clearly.
Mr Datta is clinically skilled (as a doctor, I have had 2 colonoscopies and a laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair with him in recent years, all smooth). He is approachable, no-nonsense, efficient & reliable. Highly recommended.
