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.
