Dr Sanjay I found to be an absolutely wonderful doctor. From the minute I first met Mr Sanjay in A and E I felt totally reassured I was in the best care. He explained my condition clearly and in such a way I understood.

He was wonderfully reassuring and helpful to someone who was clearly both naive and apprehensive! He explained all the possible causes and cures for my problem and I came away knowing I was in the safest hands

I have known Mr Purkayastha for 6 years now when he performed my gastric bypass. He is my first port of call for any abdominal issues I might encounter even though they have nothing to do with my bypass. He is caring, thorough, and makes me feel safe.
