Excellent laparoscopic surgeon, highly recommended.
Miss Shahnaz Akbar
Shashank is an excellent surgical opinion in all matters pertaining to bowel issues and hernias and many a time I have referred patients to him knowing that the patients are in excellent and able hands, with excellent feedback from the patients. I have also performed joint cases with him and it has always been a pleasure to exchange ideas about patient care in clinic and theatres. He is a very able, affable and friendly surgeon and colleague and I would have no hesitation in having my family member treated by him.
