- Easy process . Kept well informed. Great bedside manner
- Mr Joshi is a highly skilled surgeon who inspires confidence and provides reassurance from the very first consultation. He is extremely personable and will listen to any concerns and explains clearly the clinical treatment pathway.He was able to remove my tumour in a somewhst challening key hole operation which resulted in avoifing a stoma and led to a remarkable speedy recovery with little pain.I feel very privileged to have been in his hands and cannot commend him highly enough.
- Thank you, MrJoshi for you skill and care in fixing my cancer. I always had full confidence in my outcome, despite the inevitable anxiety of a cancer diagnosis. That confidence was fully justified. Elizabeth and I cannot thank you enough. .
- 10/10 Doctor from the first consultation to the post surgery check. Thank you very much!
- Very encouraging manner and helpful information
- Mr Joshi operated on me laparoscopically to repair a right inguinal hernia and did an excellent job. I recovered quickly and only took paracetamol for a couple of days. I felt ready to start driving after about a week and to lift heavy items after about four weeks.
- Mr Joshi is very caring and supportive and uses modern techniques to achieve results. He and his team assessed the risks involved with my other ongoing health issues and I thank all of them for my speedy recovery.
- I had a hemorrhoidectomy under Mr Joshi's care. Mr Joshi provided excellent care from the beginning to the end of this difficult journey. He took the time to answer all my questions and concerns and bespoke the surgery to my needs. I would throughly recommend Mr Joshi.
- Mr Joshi has one of the best bed side manors I’ve ever experienced. A professional, kind and clearly talented surgeon. My hernia has been fully repaired with key hole surgery. Recovery has been very fast and Mr Joshi was fantastic throughout the process.
