Dr Joseph Varghese has changed my life. I would highly recommend him for gallbladder removal and colonoscopy. He is super professional and knowledgeable and puts you at ease.

My procedure went to plan due to professional service mr vargese provided
5
Very pleased with the care and overall treatment by Mr. Varghese from initial consultation to follow-up after surgery. Everything explained and reassured.. A delay to having treatment due to being forgotten (by his Secretary?), but all worked out well in the end.

Dr varghese was fantastic from start to finish. I first saw him in December after an ultrasound and he didn't hesitate on getting the ball moving to sort out the issue I was having with my gallbladder. Despite a few setbacks with the dates we finally had the operation scheduled in for 28th Feb. Admission was brilliant I felt at ease and after the operation despite being sore I can say everything was done to the best of his ability. That is shown after recovery, 8 weeks later and I have very little scarring and now completely pain free after being so for a number of years and not being listened to by my GP! I felt listened valued and cared for under Dr Varghese. I am very grateful for all he's done and giving me a second chance at a healthy lifestyle pain free! If I could give a score it would be 100/10!

Dr Varghese was amazing all the way through, from my 1st consultation, through surgery and my last consultation. He spent the time to explain and listen to my concerns and I never felt rushed. The operation went very well and the scarring was minimal. You could hardly see the marks once healed.. I would recommend Dr Varghese to anyone needing this operation.

Mr Varghese, treated me with compassion and dignity at all times. He explained my condition and helped me to weigh up the benefits and risks to my procedure. Once I had decided to go ahead, he gave a clear explanation of the operation and after care, on the day of the surgery, he came to see me before and after the OP, this gave great comfort, he gave me resurrance after the operation and I haven't looked back, I feel like a different person. I've got my life back! I can not thank him enough. The follow up appointment enabled me to draw a line in the past struggles and start to look forward to my healthy future.
5
Mr Varghese is friendly but very professional. He explained everything to me in a language I could understand. I can’t praise him enough.
