Mr Datta has been a great help during consultations. Very approachable, knowledgeable and not pushy at all. I’ve always felt I was in good hands.

I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Datta as a consultant. His knowledge, skill and care is second to none. His explanations are very clear and he takes great care to detail the level of risk around any proceedure.
