It took me many years to finally pluck up the courage to consider surgery. I am so glad I chose Mr. Santosh to help me with this life changing procedure. He is highly skilled and his lovely calm manner made my experience the best I could have hoped for. It's been less than 2 weeks since my surgery and I am honestly delighted with the result so far.

I’ve been under the care of Mr Somasundaram for over four years. He carried out my mastectomy/reconstruction. This was an annual check up. He’s very thorough, which I always find reassuring, he listens and responds, and I never feel he’s trying to rush my appointment. I can’t speak highly enough of him and his team.

I have received thorough and successful treatment from January to July 2026. From sincerity at original diagnosis to the positive outcome. Mr Somasundaram made minimal surgical procedure with impeccable stitching. All of which he had described in consultations

Mr Somasundaram put me at ease on my first appointment with him. He outlined the surgical plan, post op plan and further reduction to match the breasts. Mr Somasundaram was friendly, compassionate, helpful, welcoming, approachable and I am so happy he was my surgeon though this journey. I honestly couldn't be more happy with the outcome of my breast surgery.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in November 2025 and yesterday received my results that I was now all clear. Mr Somasundaram provided excellent care at all times from the first consultation and throughout including surgery. Everything was explained in a very clear, caring and compassionate way and I always felt confident with my treatment plan and surgery which was expertly carried out
