Dr Krishna Moorthy, has been a bright light, at a dark time for our family. His approach with our whole family, from start to finish has been awe inspiring. We felt completely safe placing our mum in his hands and he saved her life. It’s not just what he did, it’s also how he did it. He kept us up to date throughout the procedure and was at the end of a phone if we needed him for anything at all. I’ve never met anyone from outside of our family, that displayed the care, attention and understanding that Krishna did and we as a family will never forget him and the impact he’s had on us all. Thank you just doesn’t come close

Patience and understanding in dealing with my anxiety related to the surgery. Left the hospital and the whole process relaxed and reassured that I had been in the safest and most knowledgeable hands for my gallbladder removal. I felt listened to and received appropriate advice pre and post surgery. In addition, the correspondence was prompt, clear and professional. Thank you Dr Moorthy
