Mr Kalsi, saw me with urgency, did not rush into conclusions and approached my case with high professionalism, carrying out extensive tests to come up with the most accurate diagnosis. He clearly is technically very well prepared. This, together with his empathic approach, open and very responsive communication style gave me the reassurance I needed at a point of severe distress, as I was confronting the sudden/unexpected prospects of spinal surgery. I could not recommend Mr Kalsi more. I am so relieved I now know who to call (and trust) for any issues affecting my spine if/when they will present again in the future (I hope not though!).

Mr Kalsi did my spinal surgery and I am incredibly grateful to him for the excellent care I received at that time. I had lost power in my leg and required emergency surgery which he performed. From first meeting him, I found him to be intelligent, engaged and clear in his approach, allowing me to have high confidence in his abilities. The surgery went smoothly and he came to see me after surgery and answered any questions I had. At all encounters, I have found him to be clear in his communication, professional, kind, listened to my concerns and was very responsive. I can't recommend him this surgeon highly enough.

Mr Pratipal is the most approaching surgeon I ever meet , very helpful and experienced consultant.
