I was asked to see Dr Sathyamurthy regarding a problematic long term cough which I'd had for probably a year. Four visits to my GP with no outcome and they recommended I see an expert. Dr Sathy as he likes to called was very thorough and went through a number of probability tests. In the end he carried out a bronchoscopy on my lungs and took some biopsy's. The lungs were clear however, the biopsy showed a nasty bug which is normally found in badly affected lungs and was rare in clear lungs. I was given a course of antibiotics and the lungs have cleared up and coughing has stopped. Dr Sathy is a kind gentleman, he speaks with a soft voice and has a very good Dr /patient relationship. I would 100% recommend Dr Sathy to anyone seeking advice.

I have been having difficulties with Asthma over the past couple of years and thankfully I was able to be referred to Dr Sathyamurthy as a private patient. Communication with Sathy has been excellent, he is very thorough in understanding problems and has reacted quickly to arrange scans and blood tests to come to a diagnosis and plan for treatment. I would recommend him without question.
