Thank you for such a wonderful and humbling review! Being accessible to my patients in their time of need is something I value and try to achieve.
Very informative about the procedure and the whole process. Very reassuring and calming.
Glad to know that you had a positive experience in a stressful time. Thank you.
The surgery required to repair my groin hernia was professionally handled by Mr Midya and his excellent team at Parkside. I was very well looked after and all was fully and clearly explained. In fact I was home within 4 hours of my procedure. I would fully recommend Mr Midya to others. For me a lucky find!
I am glad that you had a quick recovery and thank you for recommending me. I will share your feedback with my colleagues at Parkside
I recently had gallbladder surgery Dr Midyia was fantastic I can’t recommend him enough.
Thank you for your nice feedback!
Very satisfactory
Thank you!
I found the whole experience very good, I had my own room ensuite in surgical short stay which was lovely, the sister and nursing staff were amazing, I couldn't have got better treatment in a private ward, in fact I felt like I was in a private ward, the call from Mr Midya today was quite reassuring, I hope I dont have any post op problem's
Thank you for your feedback and I am sure you will not have any postoperative problems.
Mr Midya was attentive and very professional in his approach prior to and on the day of the procedure. After a week and a half, I would rate the operation a success with a low level of discomfort. I highly recommend this consultant
Thank you for your very positive feedback. It made my day!
The initial consultation was thorough and professional; the hospital appointment went smoothly; Mr Midya met me both before and after the operation and ensured that I was comfortable with the outcome
Thank you for your time and very positive feedback. I am humbled for the trust you had in me, and wish you a speedy recovery.
I had very experienced with Mr Midya. He came to see me after my operation which was very relief and reassuring.
Thank you for your feedback and wish you a speedy recovery
I was very expressed with my operation that was carried out by Mr Sumit Midya. From the first time I met Mr Midya at Fremly Park hospital for my appointment, I have never had such a fantastic consultant. He listened and explained everything to me. He kept me up to date and was so helpful though out. He even rang me to check that everything was fine after surgery. He even came to see me after I had a full hip replacement, as it was done at the Berkshire independent Hospital. Mr Midya was so kind and filled me in at the Berkshire independent as it was more local to me than Fermley Park. I had my out patient fellow up appointment today & Mr Midya was very happy with my progress and asked if there was anything else I wanted to ask. Mr Midya never rushed me & made sure that I was happy with everything that was done. If there were more consultants like Mr Midya it would make going to see consultants more pleasant. Thank you so much for your kindness and support throughout my surgery from start & finish. I would definitely recommend him to people who need a hernia operation.
Thank you for your fantastic feedback. It was lovely to know you as a person and I am glad that I could help with your symptoms. I hope you recover from your hip surgery soon and wish you all the best for the future.
