Dr Santhanam was very polite and thoughtful. He explained everything to me in lay language so i understand what’s happening, even though this was my second visit, he didn’t expect me to remember everything. This time he had a medical student with him and he made sure I was very comfortable and it’s a pleasure watching him teach future doctors. I felt very safe and heard. I am very glad that he’s my doctor 🙏🏾

Whenever seeing Mr Santhanam I have always felt really well looked after and when I have had .any questions importantly listen to. I am so grateful to him for the result of the operation he did on my lip much better than i ever dared hope for. Thank you Mr Santhanam

A lovely doctor who treats you (and any family) with care. Eye contact and a welcoming smile made all encounters with him leaving me calm and reassured. I was aware of all that was going to be done and anything that might occur after the procedure. He is brilliant!

Mr Santhanam explained the procedure to be carried out prior to the operation in a friendly and easily understand manner. The operation went very smoothly and quicker then I expected with explanation of each stage. The result is better than personally expected. My sincere thanks to Mr Santhanam.

I was treated courteously and kindly throughout. Explanations were clear and in plain language. I was given many opportunities to ask questions. My procedure was calm, efficient and reassuringly explained to me as it progressed. I did not have any moments of anxiety as I had complete confidence in my consultant and his work.

After a serious RTC Dr Santhanam and his team did a remarkable job to repair the skull and facial damage I sustained. This was a very traumatic time for me and their professionalism and understanding was second to none. I cannot recommend them enough

I have been under the care of Mr Santhanam at Addenbrooks Hospital for 16 months with an unusual jaw issue which has plagued me for 10/12 years and progressively getting worse. Mr Santhanam has been very thorough with his investigations into my problem and after gathering all the information from various tests etc., a way forward with treatment has now been started and is having a positive effect. Every step of the way has been discussed with me and any concerns I have raised were listened to in a caring, courteous manner which has given me the confidence that I am in good hands.

Very polite and professional. Before we went down the surgical path he clearly explained what it would entail in detail and answered all questions I had. Day of the surgery was smooth with no complications, and the instructions for recovery were clear. I'm very happy with the results of the surgery and the follow up visits.

Dr Santhanam really understands my autoimmune diseases & how they affect my jaw. He was the only doctor who suggested treatments & techniques to manage my condition now & in the long term. I cannot thank him enough for reducing my pain levels significantly & helping me to get function back so I can enjoy my food!
