My operation & aftercare have been first class & a complete success. He is extremely professional, explains everything & answers your questions. The whole experience was second to none. I opted out of NHS due to wait times and appts did not instill me with confidence.

My injury has baffled many. I have seen multiple specialists and got nowhere. Mr Perera took a thorough approach to assess, walked me through my options - and made sure I am aware of the risks and possibilities of success for each. A year on - I am back to full fitness.
