Explanation

Dr Balaratnam was highly recommended to me by a medical practitioner friend of mine whose judgment I respected. Furthermore, I then noted that the doctor had a most impressive cv in both qualifications and practical experience. He well lived up to the expectations generated by all this information. In addition to Dr Balaratnam's qualifications, my friend also observed that he was "a very nice man", which I have heard since from his colleagues, and which I endorse heartily.
