Throughly positive experience with my recent procedure - especially having had a bad experience with the same operation at a different location last year. Thank you
Complete professional service from start to finish. Extremely clear in the step by step process involved. I would not hesitate to recommend to friends and family.
Great service, from start to finish,everything was explained. Well looked after.
I felt Ms Vijay listened to me during our initial consultation. I was able to discuss with her the circumstances that may have lead to my condition without feeling rushed. I was first treated by Ms Vijay 5 years ago so I chose to be under her care once again due to her caring approach. Also her secretary was so efficient and willing to help with any queries I had.
Ms Vijay put me at ease with the procedure explanation at the initial consultation. I was quoted a shorter wait time for the operation than expected and this was honoured. I had a very good experience at the operation and the post op follow up A superb professional experience
Professional and very approachable regarding all aspects of the procedure from first consultation to the follow up appointment. Very satisfied with my experience and it was completely successful. Many thanks
The whole experience was professional, reassuring and excellent from all the staff, from the nurses who helped with preparation to the surgical team.
Ms vijay is lovely consultant. Very explanitive and knowledgeable
Miss Vijay is an excellent surgeon, she explained my surgery to me and answered any questions that I had. The theatre department were wonderful, Dr Patel the anaesthetist and the theatre team were really warm and friendly. Being a staff member at Rivers and being on the other side so to speak I couldn’t fault my care. Special shout outs to Louise Reynard from theatres and Ash and Ellie from the ward they were excellent. My room was spotless, thanks to Anne and her team. Thanks to the porters, pantry , ward clarks too as everyone plays a role in making my stay a stress free one.
