From the first time I met Mr Thiruchelvam at Charing Cross Hospital and all though the pre-operation period and the operation itself (which I opted to have as a private patient) the care I received from him was impeccable. He is very easy to talk to and told me what my options were, and what the surgery and treatment would involve, clearly and empathetically. Doctors with his level of communication skills are not all that common. He was patient and careful throughout the whole process and, post operatively. I was able to go home the same day, have not had to use strong painkillers and am recovering well. It is obvious that he is extremely interested in his work and also has research interests, which I found reassuring, and I completely trusted him. The whole team both at Charing Cross and the King Edward VII hospital were excellent as was Mr Thiruchelvam's practice manager who ensured the various appointments went to plan and was very helpful in following up minor issues. I think it is also significant that the other staff, at both hospitals clearly liked and respected him.
