My face to face meeting was not the best news I wanted but everything was explained to me clearly and was made to feel Iam in the best hands
He was late due to an emergency elsewhere, but the nurse specialist kept us informed.
The doctor answered all of my questions. And was satisfied with the outcome.
Today I met with a great doctor in science, persuasion, and respect. When I saw him, he gave me the feeling that he was an old friend. It was a warm meeting, and I am happy because he convinced me of the right decision for treatment. All my thanks and appreciation to him, the hospital, and the NHS. Thank you again to everyone in the organization for their cooperation in providing services to us, and I especially mention Dr. Rennie Al RT. Ahmed S

I attended the appointment with a degree of anxiety over my decision to pursue surgery. Mr Kelkar carefully explained his view, a clinicians view, while allowing me, as the patient, to make the best decision for me. He offered me time, too, to think over my decision. Reflecting on the appointment, my anxiety has dissipated considerably and I have clarity regarding my next steps. I am very thankful to the doctor for his professional manner, that he conveyed authority while also supporting my authority for my health.
It was clear and straight forward, straight to the point, well explained and understood
Dr Kelkar was very clear and forthcoming with the clarity and context I was looking for. Overall demeanour was confident and unambiguous, clearly articulate the details with the support of his colleagues in the room. I left the room feeling confident in Dr Kelkar and the process going forward.
