- Dr Sanjay Kuravanikop is a brilliant Doctor and I highly recommend him.. He is always there for me. He is caring and easy to talk to. He has helped me on several occasions with my back problems and is incredibly supportive. He explains medical terms in a clear and concise manner.
- Very caring and easy to talked to and very helpful and concern for his patients.
- I count myself very lucky to have had several treatments from DR Kuravinakop at Blackheath Hospital and once at The Sloane in Beckenham. I have had steroid injections for pain in my sacroiliac joints and facet joints resulting from spondylolisthesis. My pain was much improved .
