Reviews
Very impressed with his explanation and caring Manner, very informative and reassuring I was in good hands 5 Stars from me
Dr Karunakaran was immediately welcoming and calming. He listened to my medical history and concerns and was reassuring and helpful. Having a colonoscopy is understandably embarrassing and anxiety inducing and his manner and explanation of the procedure made it much less so. I was actually very relaxed even without a sedative. Dr Karunakaran talked me through what was on the screen and when a polyp was found explained it's size and how likely it was to be cancer or not. I felt well informed about the whole procedure. I am incredibly grateful to him and the nurses and feel they all deserve a pay rise quite frankly.
He allowed me to make my own decisions and treated me as a capable person with understanding. He was clear in his communications, accommodating and reassuring. He had a good rapport with his nurses and didn't lord it over them.
I would probably have chosen the entonox with a bit more information about the degree of discomfort at the bends and the length of time the procedure took without sedation.
Stuff was amazingly helpful since I stepped in, making me very comfortable and explaining me very clearly the entire process.
I will highly recommend this doctor, very kind and careful with the procedure.
And a very clean environment.
Dr Karunakaran was very helpful during the endoscopy. He made me feel very comfortable and guided me throughout the process. As I was not under sedation, his guidance helped ensure that any discomfort was kept to the minimum. Furthermore, he during the procedure he explained the overall health of the various organ. I will gladly recommend Dr Karunakaran for anybody undergoing the procedure.
