- My wife and I were very pleased with my treatment. The only caveat would be the two cancellations and the delay on the day of the operation due to the anesthetists tardiness.Doctor's response -Thank you for your review
- I was referred to Mr Sunderamoorthy who recommended shock wave therapy (with a physiotherapist) for my achilles tendon problems. This therapy has helped enormously but the treatment was not rushed and has taken time to produce a positive outcome.
- From my first consultation to the last & with all the treatment in between, I was amazed by the efficiency and kindness I was shown. In these dark days of Covid, the doctor and all the staff I met were extraordinarily good.
- Excellent service and quick review
- Thank you.
