  • 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.

  • 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 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.
