- Ms Maharajan was very reassuring and had a lovely caring manner taking time to explain symptoms and next steps.
- I can quite honestly say that the treatment and care given by Ms Maharajan has been outstanding she personally saw me in the day of my operation and the following day. She then called me the day after whilst I was still in hospital. After discharge she called me at home to make sure I was okay and when I called the ward to advise I felt unwell she ensured I was seen that morning and once again remained in contact to follow up. I would highly recommend her to anyone requiring a hysterectomy
- Ms Maharajan is excellent at explaining and giving treatment. She has a way of putting you at ease by answering your questions. She is highly professional but friendly with it. I felt I totally trusted her and would definitely recommend her.
