- We received nothing but amazing care from Mr Mahadevan who treated my 16 year old daughter. She had two separate surgeries and both could not have gone better. He explains things well, is very kind and considerate, is a surgical genius, and you can absolutely tell how well thought of he is by the rest of the professional staff who also speak so highly of him. My daughter is so happy with the outcomes of both surgeries and we are almost a little sad we won’t see Mr Mahadevan again! Thank you!
- Great hospital, amazing doctor!
- Couldn't be more pleased. Everything was well explained to me, all my questions were answered, and I'm very happy with the outcome.
- I can’t recommend Dr Mahadevan enough. He was kind, reassuring, and really supportive throughout both of my bunionette surgeries and recovery. He always took the time to explain things and made this long journey feel much less daunting. Really grateful for the care and outcome.
- My son was under Mr Mahadevan for an ankle injury and from the first visit we were struck with the professional and thorough approach, but also the personal touches that the team at The Circle brought. Reassuring, knowledgeable and very caring. Every eventuality discussed and explored, we felt completely part of the process. Our son's progress has been fabulous, fantastic follow up support which has given him the confidence to return to the rugby pitch very quickly; Highly Recommended.
- It was all quick, comfortable and friendly! Very helpful indeed.
- Gave great confidence in the procedure and I felt fully informed throughout it all. Thank you!
