I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Mr. Hariharan to anyone needing liver surgery - his pragmatic, yet friendly and caring approach to me, both pre- and post-op has been a great comfort.

Mr Hariharan is very professional and helpful, explaining everything in much detail. You feel you are in good hands. Check-ins after procedures are also very helpful, as they ensure that everything goes well.

I appreciate the consultation with Mr Hariharan. He has interviewed me in details regarding my symptoms, health history, referral information, and then explained what tests I need to do. Careful scans have proven that no surgery is needed at the moment.

Amazing! Doctor Hariharan was brilliant! He assured me before and leading up to my operation. I stayed at the London clinic where the staff were amazing and it was more like a hotel then a hospital. Many thanks for repairing me and looking after me.
