Mr Vivek Srivastava

I first met Mr Vivek Srivastava at the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford. He was meticulous in detail about the CABG procedure. The operation itself couldn't have gone any better and he even paid me a visit whilst I was in intensive care. I have seen him again very recently for a post operative assessment. He is genuinely caring and his bedside manner is perfection personified. I would thoroughly recommend him for any cardiothoracic procedure and will forever be grateful for his expertise. Without doubt my life has been extended thanks to the skill and professionalism of this thoroughly nice man.

Excellent experience ,every step of the operation was explained very clearly , my aftercare was so professional and couldn't have been better ,Mr Srivastava visited me every day while I was in hospital

Sorry for the delay in replying to this review. I found that Mr Srivastava to be an excellent communicator, he explained clearly, and answered all questions. I felt at ease when talking to him . He was authorative yet approachable. I have complete faith in his abilities and found him to be of the highest standards and a credit to the NHS. Many Thanks Robin H. Northampton

As an extremely anxious patient I was put at ease from the onset by Mr Srivastava. He appeared to take my anxiety seriously, made every effort to assist me in identifying my worries and provided information that helped alleviate my concerns. During all of our contacts I found Mr Srivastava very attentive, an active listener who who took all into consideration regarding what I had to say. I cannot express enough how grateful and appreciative I am for the knowledge, skills and patient rapport of Mr Srivastava and the team who assist him. I am nearly 3 months on from my CABG surgery, I am finding my recovery tough but am confident that all will be good in time. I would highly recommend Mr Srivastava and am happy to do so.

Staff very helpful and the appointment was well organised as I had to have an ultra sound, ex ray and a checkup before meeting with the consultant. There were no long waiting times between appointments. The consultant was very detailed with his information and put my mine at rest with the questions that I asked afterwards. My whole experience with the heart surgery was not as stressful as I expected, due to the expertise of Mr. Srivastava and his whole team, to which I am very thankful.

Prior to my surgery I was anxious about the actual procedure, I waited nearly a year, on reflection I should have spoken to someone during that time who could have probably calmed those fears. During my initial meeting I had a list of questions, Vivek answered them and I felt so much better, more confident about it. I ended up having minimal invasive surgery. I appreciate it was a team of people but from the phone call on my arrival at the JR to my discharge I felt I had been treated well. Always professional, respectful, approachable and kind. I am extremely grateful to the NHS and the amazing team of people lead by Vivek with his incredible skills that will enable me to have a longer, healthier life.

Thoroughly professional and reassuring. I was delighted with the outcome, which exceeded my own expectations. I found Dr Srivastava made me feel very confident that the operation would be successful.

Mr Srivastava was exceptional. During my first appointment he explained everything I needed to know in great detail and was unhurried and patient. He also gave me plenty of time to ask questions and answered thoroughly and carefully. After my operation and during recovery he called in regularly to check up. My post op appointment was very thorough and I was given plenty of time to go through tablets amongst other things. I was very happy he was my surgeon.

Mr Srivastava was professional, reassuring and took the time to explain everything clearly, which gave me great confidence throughout the whole process. Iam so grateful for his skill, care and attention. I would highly recommend Mr Srivastava to anyone undergoing heart surgery.

My wife and I found Vivek to be professional, supportive, empathetic and caring. At no point - from the first consultation to the last post-operative check-up did I experience anything other than his full personal attention and the benefit of his wide experience. His relaxed approach made what could have been an unpleasant episode very bearable and, most importantly, he passes on these attributes to the wonderful team around him.
