- 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.
- My experience with Mr Joshi was very positive. He went out of his way to conduct a tricky surgery laparoscopically so I didn’t have to have open surgery. I would recommend him because he puts the patient first. I’m so grateful to have had him as my surgeon.
- I had a great experience with Mr. Heman Joshi. He was attentive, kind, and explained everything clearly. My laparoscopic bilateral inguinal hernia repair was minimally invasive with two small incisions, and my recovery has been smooth. Highly recommend!
- Mr Joshi performed an appendectomy on me. He was very friendly and helpful throughout the process. I felt I was given great care and that my case was treated swiftly. I’m very happy I was in the hands of Mr Joshi and would recommend him to anyone that needs a surgery!
- Mr Joshi was extremely reassuring, putting me at ease with the procedure. Essentially pai free recovery. Would recommend.
