I highly recommend Dr Dhanasekar very clear prior to procedure, on the day of the surgery he came to see me twice and made me feel at ease. Then finally, post surgery a full explanation with images. A credit to the NHS and his profession.

Mr Dhanasekar has treated me through a rare cancer diagnosis. He has always explained in terms I can understand, and spoken to other colleagues in other depts on my behalf. Leasing with the other department has been positive and has proved very good in receiving the appropriate care that was needed. He reviews me every few months and takes my concerns regarding my illness and arranges any follow ups necessary. I am truly grateful for the care plan he has initiated and that he continues to monitor me following the surgery which was very difficult, but was by him and without which I may not have been here today.
Many thanks for your feedback

Very professional, explained the procedure, the risks etc with attention to detail. Was very honest and realistic with regards to post operation expectations. I’m more than happy with the outcome, I can breathe better than ever and the appearance of my nose is significantly improved. I am so pleased that I went through with the procedure and hope that the long term results are even better.
