I had a fantastic experience with my surgery, which was more complex than usual because I have a heart condition. Mr. Munasinghe liaised very carefully with my cardiologist to ensure minimum risk. Mr. Munasinghe has a fabulous bedside manner. Very reassuring and a very good listener -- he can put you at ease. The procedure went very smoothly, thankfully, and my recovery has been swift and successful. Mr. Munasinghe was there each step of the way and I am very grateful to him.

Dr Aruna was the surgeon I never knew I needed. From the initial consultation, he was kind, funny and informative. He went into great detail and always listened to my concerns and questions. On the day of surgery, he was so reassuring and this really helped both my husband and I. I recommend him 100000%.

I found Mr Munasinghe to be an excellent surgeon with a great bedside manner. When I had my gastric bypass he explained the surgery in detail and put me and my family at ease. My recovery has been excellent, with good weight loss so far.

Dr Munasinghe has helped me to change my life in ways I never thought possible, he had an impeccable bedside manner and explained everything to me really clearly from my pre op appointments, the surgery itself, to my after care, even taking the time personally after my surgery to go back to my room and reassure my partner that everything went okay and when I’d be out of recovery. I feel very lucky to have had my surgery with such a supportive, knowledgable and genuine Dr.

Really excellent service from start to finish for a gallbladder removal procedure. Explained, in detail, the pros and cons and answered any questions I had and put me eat ease. Was also very personable and easy to chat to which isn't always the case with your surgeon. Before I had to procedure I looked on here for reviews to make sure I went with someone trusted, and I am glad I did.
