My experience from initial appointment through to my follow up meeting after my surgery was flawless. Mr Velchuru's explanation of my condition and advice to help control my condition has increased my confidence in the future.
He was really good an informative and went so far as to ring my wife to say the surgery had been successful
I seen doctor Velchuru, very professional, very understanding, understood my needs and gave me advice on my situation
Excellent and very professional everything was explained prior to and after surgery
Mr Velchuru is a professional gentleman, his skill sets are such that as a surgeon he performed keyhole surgery for a period of eight hours to ensure my bowel cancer and lymph nodes (cancerous) where totally removed, he gave the time that was necessary to complete the surgery and clear and cleanse the area. The scars are no longer visible. His pre and post care along with his team is off the scale, they will all give you the time you need they will listen and will sort out any issue you feel you have as soon as practically possible. Mr Velchuru at his appointments with you not only gives you the time to explain but will also answer your family’s questions, during the chemo phase of treatment he turned his attention to my wife and spoke solely to her regards to what she was going through and was able to relate to her suffering with me as a cancer patient, he did not turn away until she was happy with his answers and suggestions and that she had no more to ask. Even with his professional knowledge Mr Velchuru will speak to you in layman’s terms and put you to ease as you gain an understanding of what is happening to you and the issues you are suffering. To know Mr Velchuru and the fact he saved my life is an honour, to have met his team and seen their professional etiquette has also been an honour.
Mr Velchuru is the most amazing & wonderful person/surgeon that you could ever wish to have in your corner. If in life you are ever unfortunate enough to encounter bowel cancer you will not go wrong with this incredible man. I owe him everything, he literaly saved my life & I will be forever in his debt. Thank you Mr V x
