Mr Darmarajah Veeramootoo is kind, professional, and reassuring during patient interactions. He provides clear explanations of procedures and expected outcomes, which helps patients feel comfortable and confident. His surgical skill is evident in many successful procedures, including various hernia repairs and gallbladder removal, leading to smooth operations and fast recovery. Patient feedback highlights laparoscopic gallbladder removal, inguinal hernia repair, and umbilical hernia care as key areas of his expertise.
We are incredibly grateful to Dr. Veeramootoo for the exceptional care given to our daughter throughout her gallbladder surgery. From the very first consultation, Dr. Veeramootoo took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all our questions with patience, and made us feel reassured and confident in the treatment plan. The care before the operation was thorough and compassionate, and the surgery itself was handled with the highest level of professionalism and skill. The post-operative care and follow-up were equally excellent — our daughter felt supported, well looked after, and never rushed at any point. It is rare to find a doctor who combines such outstanding medical expertise with genuine kindness and empathy. We cannot thank Dr. Veeramootoo enough for the care, attention, and dedication shown to our daughter and to us as a family. We would highly recommend Dr. Veeramootoo to anyone seeking exceptional surgical care.
Everyone from the consultant to the nursing staff were very informative and felt really at ease.
Super support from the first conversation to the last. The communication was clear as we went through the process. Amazing team during the surgery itself and after care was impeccable.
My recent Hellers Myotomy was carried out by Dr Veeramootoo. He was very informative about the procedure and explained everything that would happen clearly, setting my expectations for recovery. Every time I’ve seen Dr V he has been kind and happy to see me, he is a very approachable person and has answered any questions I’ve had throughout the process. My surgery went well and recovery has been as smooth as possible. Thanks to him and the care team at Parkside during this time. I would highly recommend Dr V.
Mr Veeramooto, was incredibly knowledgable, reassuring and supportive all the way. Thank you for changing my life
Mr Veeramootoo was the surgeon for my procedure to fix an inguinal hernia. The procedure was carried out at Spire Clare Park Hospital in mid-December 2025. I met with Mr Veeramootoo for a consultation in October and then again on the morning of my procedure. During these meetings he clearly explained what would happen during the procedure and he answered all my questions. Mr Veeramootoo visited me once more, when I had recovered from the general anaesthetic and confirmed that the procedure had gone smoothly. I was able to return home the same day. In the first week following the procedure, I was fortunate in experiencing very little real pain and the general discomfort in the area of the procedure had largely gone by the end of the second week. I regained my mobility very quickly and was able to walk multiple miles without discomfort by the end of the first week. Now, four weeks after the procedure, I feel largely back to normal, my body providing only occasional reminders that I shouldn't be doing anything too strenuous. Overall, I have a very positive view of the care I received. I wish to extend my thanks to Mr. Veeramootoo and to all of the staff who were involved in my treatment and care.
I cannot recommend Mr V highly enough. From my initial consultation through to my surgery and recovery, his level of care, skill and professionalism was exceptional. He is friendly and welcoming, and makes you feel completely relaxed. Having never had surgery before, I was extremely anxious and, at first, was unsure whether or not to go ahead. Mr V did not put me under any pressure, he took the time to explain the procedure thoroughly, address my fears, and reassure me in a calm and compassionate manner. I am thrilled to share that my surgery was a complete success, and my recovery has been exceptionally fast and smooth. I have experienced zero complications, and all of the symptoms and issues I had prior to surgery are now fully resolved. Mr V’s surgical skills and level of precision is quite honestly outstanding. I would like to thank Mr V for taking such good care of me, he has given me my life back. I am deeply grateful and would recommend him to anyone.
Mr Veeramootoo could not have been pleasanter or more willing to answer my questions about the surgery I was to undergo. I had the feeling that he really cared about how I felt. His skills as a surgeon are obviously very high.
I was been suffering for years with stomach issues and Dr Veeramootoo was very supportive about my situation even if other drs weren’t. He was able to diagnose me quickly and treated me very respectfully throughout the whole. He made me feel very comfortable about it and gave me a surgery that I much needed.
Mr Veeramootoo is an excellent open, laparoscopic and robotic surgeon. I value him as a trusted colleague. We work together with complex hernia patients. He is a very experienced gallbladder surgeon, and runs the ERCP service at Frimley Park Hospital.
