Mr Velchuru approach was caring, accommodating and informative during my consultations and pre & post operation conversations with him. I felt comfortable and confident in his abilities and handling of my surgery.
Excellent in all respects from initial consultation right through to final appointment 6 weeks after the procedure . Very pleased with results of procedure . Little discomfort post op and healed quickly . Thoroughly recommend Mr Velchuru .
Dr Velchuru was extremely professional, explained the procedure very clearly and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
Following recent hernia surgery, I found Mr Velchuru very reassuring during my follow-up consultation. He explained in detail the procedure I had undergone and listened patiently to my ongoing concerns. I left with a clear idea of what to expect going forward.
I was recommended to Vamsi by a colleague I work with who works with him. must say from first visit I felt comfortable and understood. Vamsi explained the options clearly from the start. Pre surgery he was very friendly and post surgery, an excellent job as been done and recovery time has been quick to. not that I need more surgery but if the need ever arose I would prefer to have a surgeon I can trust. Vamsi is that person.
Mr Velchuru was really kind and caring throughout my surgery and time in hospital. He made me feel at ease and was very understanding of my anxiety, always taking the time to reassure me. I felt genuinely well looked after and supported during the whole experience.
Mr velchuru is a very pleasant gentleman, very polite and answers any problems or concerns raised.
