Mr Pillai is a very highly regarded surgeon who is a joy to work with. He is extremely popular and giving with patients. He takes the time to talk to his patients and ensure they approached their surgery fully informed and aware of their options. His results are excellent and as such a large number of patients come to him through personal recommendation. I am proud to work with him and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him on every level.
