Could not recommend Dr Punwar highly enough. Friendly and clear communicator who broke down some complex medical points into really simple and easy to understand soundbites so I perfectly understood the diagnosis and treatment plan.

Overall very good doctor, explained everything clearly and did a good job with the surgery too. Would of been good to have seen the doctor after my surgery to explain which type of operation I had, as the nurse staff was unsure, either pinned or scraped.
