- I am very happy and feel blessed to have found Mr Wijeyekoon. He's an exceptionally knowledgable, experienced and professional Consultant Surgeon, yet also personable and very easy to talk to. During my consultation I felt respected and at ease throughout. I also recommend the Bournemouth Private Clinic in Bournemouth Hospital, as the staff were lovely and facilities excellent.
- Absolutely brilliant consultation. Mr Wijeyekoon has an excellent bedside manner. Mum felt listened to and not dismissed, as so many doctors do when you get to a certain age. It was such a relief to have a clear plan of action. My mum was extremely impressed. Highly recommended.
- We met a very kind, smiling, cultured and pleasant man who introduced us to his office and after the conversation we found out that he is an absolute professional in his profession - he found the best option for us; in detail and accurately and completely understandable for us and explained our options and advised us what would be good for us; during the examination he was extremely attentive and humane. I recommend the doctor with both hands - in 13 years I have not met such an attentive, humane and trying to put yourself in the patient's shoes and help in every way, doctor!
- Being a first appointment and therefore being apprehensive Mr Wijeyekoon made me feel totally relaxed, explained everything in detail and suggested the best way to proceed with my problems. I left feeling very assured.

- Probably the best doctor/consultant I have ever had to deal with. I was totally hooked and his explanations of my problem and how he would prefer to deal with them, left me with complete confidence of his skills and ability

- Dr Sanjaya is very experienced, kind, and understanding in a way that inspires confidence in his professional judgement. Highly recommended
