Was referred by my GP to Spire Harpenden for a suspected hernia, as I could not get an ultrasound on the NHS. My health insurer gave me a list of approved consultants and Mr Jambuligam had one;ine booking and evening slots within a few days. Mr Jambulingham is really excellent, friendly manner, very professional and thorough. He referred me for an ultrasound with a very specific ultrasound technician who was also excellent and very thorough, taking extra time to check other possible conditions when no obvious hernia was visible. Overall, great service, the follow-up was prompt and reassuring. I did not have a hernia in the end, but Mr Jambulingam took time to check on my health and the pain and offered other specialists to help with next steps. Overall excellent and I highly recommend Mr Jambulingham.
Thank you Pleased with your positive experience
