Made it sound like I was saying nonsense and wouldn't properly listen to me or give me explanations. Also blamed my problem on having been born a woman. Just because a problem is common in women, does NOT make is NORMAL.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Whilst I am glad you found the facilities to be great, I am very sorry you left disappointed. I am normally known for my attentive manner and clear and thorough explanations and apologise that I did not achieve this in our consultation. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Patient feedback is always very important to help make improvements. I hope we can discuss this further. For patient confidentiality purposes, I cannot discuss your case in this forum but I would be happy to review you back in clinic or for a telephone discussion to answer your concerns. Please could you contact my office to organise this

From the first consultation meeting Mr Thiruchelvam was direct and made me feel confident about my procedure, on the day the nursing staff were great, the op went well, after care also very good and no pain at all, post op exam was also very clear and good result overall.
