Patient reviews Mr Kirana Arambage

I whole heartedly recommend Mr.Arambage. He diagnosed my endometriosis and adenomyosis quickly and explained clearly my options. He at all times considered the impact of his words whilst offering a solutions. He is kind, informed, excellent at his job and clearly wants to help. I had been in severe pain for a long time - where I had been brushed off before, he took me seriously and I am so grateful. He booked me for a total hysterectomy and oophorectomy as soon as was possible. Mr.Arambage'a secretary Fiona is just brilliant. Not only is she super efficient, she is always compassionate and mindful of how a gynae patient must be feeling - absolutely the best secretary I have ever come across! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mr.Arambage and his team - I am incredibly grateful not only for the surgeries he performed but particularly for his reassuring approach, in depth knowledge and compassion. I am quite certain he and his team have made a difference to many women's lives. I am so grateful.

After enduring months of severe pain and being diagnosed with endometriosis, I was referred to Dr. Arambage by my previous consultant, who discovered during a laparoscopy that my case was particularly complex. Upon consulting with Dr. Kirana, I was immediately reassured by his expertise and compassionate approach. My condition was intricate, with endometriosis having spread extensively. Nevertheless, Dr. Kirana, utilizing his exceptional skills, performed the most effective surgical procedure possible. Today, five weeks post-surgery, I am delighted to report that I just completed a hike without any pain. I feel as though I have been given a new lease on life. In hindsight, I often wish I had consulted him earlier, as it would have spared me significant time spent in discomfort. I cannot express enough gratitude for Dr. Kirana's help, as well as for his secretary, Fiona, who has always been available and easy to reach.

Thanks to Mr Arambage and his brilliant secretary, Fiona, I had a good experience during a recent uncertain situation, which I found quite complicated. They have been considerate, caring and knowledgeable and helped smooth the path to a resolution. They have answered calls and queries, at times outside of office hours and I have always felt heard. My thanks to them both.

A positive experience thank you to Mr Arambage. I was diagnosed with extensive endometriosis in May 2024 and had a total hysterectomy just two months later plus other procedures at the same time. Mr Arambage discussed the options available to me and he was very accessible when I had follow-up questions. Comfortable stay at The Manor Hospital and glad this surgery is now complete and my symptoms are relieved.

I wish I had gone private earlier. I was on the JR waiting list with expected surgery at about 10 months from going on the list. Being in discomfort with an 8cm ovarian cyst I contacted the Manor Hospital and from the first enquiry to the surgery was exactly one month. Mr Arambage discussed the procedure with me in detail and I was confident that my problem would be sorted. The operation went well, with no complications, I stayed in overnight (my choice) and Mr Arambage came to see me the following morning together with the anaesthetist to explain that everything went to plan. Also, he has a lovely smile!

I have been in a great deal of pain for many years and finally I decided to do something about it. I met initially with Mr Arambage to discuss my history and we talked at length about my options. He was very understanding and not at all pushy - but put me at ease as I was very nervous. We decided the best course of action would be a diagnostic op to discover what was going on. I didn't have to wait long and had surgery on 28 May. I had extensive endometriosis which Mr Arambage removed. Mr Arambage came to see me following surgery and we discussed his findings and again he put my mind at rest. I have been so pleased with my treatment and recovery is going well. I would highly recommend Mr Arambage and his secretary Fiona - both are truly kind people who put their patients first.

Well, where do I start?! Mr Arambage is the kindest consultant I've ever spoken to, and he listened to everything that I had to say, including all of my concerns - something that I haven't experienced in 16+ years of treatment for endometriosis. I saw him privately as a mass was found on my ovary during a baseline scan for IVF treatment, and they weren't sure whether it was malignant or not. I booked a private MRI scan first, and then an appointment with Mr Arambage to discuss the results a week later. He explained everything fully, in an excellent amount of detail and reassured us very confidently that there was no sign of malignancy. Also after 16 years of investigations and treatment, I finally found out what grade endometriosis I have, and also found out that I have mild adenomyosis too. I now know what I need to do going forward, and feel very reassured that the pain and issues I've had over the years isn't just in my head - I feel validated, and I'm so grateful for that. Now on to his secretary, Fiona. Fiona is absolutely fantastic and so, so helpful. I think she's the best secretary I've ever had the pleasure of speaking to. She responded very quickly to my emails and was very patient with answering all of my questions. She even sent through my MRI report super quickly, so that I could have it for an NHS appointment I was having the next day. Overall an absolutely fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend both My Arambage and Fiona to anyone experiencing difficulties with endometriosis or adenomyosis. Thank you again!

Mr Arambage was kind, empathetic and totally open about all possibilities and what was recommended. During procedures he made me feel at ease and was more than happy to answer my many, many questions. When I had to make an emergency appointment 6 days after surgery, his secretary (Fiona G) made it happen within hours of contact. Great service, lovely people.

He is the best doctor I have ever had especially regarding my concerns with endometriosis. From the first consultation I had to the surgery I had a few days ago - they all went so smoothly. He always made me feel comfortable and listened to all the concerns and questions I had. Now, just a few days after the surgery I feel much better and I am so thankful for everything Mr Arambage has done!! His secretary Fiona is also really great - many thanks to both of them!

The care I have received from Mr Arambage has been faultless. From helping me to feel heard, at ease about the operation to the post operative support, nothing seemed too much trouble for him. Not only does he have extensive knowledge and expertise in his area, he is really kind and helps explain complex issues in a clear and understanding way. Fiona, his secretary, has been amazing, with quick responses even during exceedingly busy times. She really cared about how I was doing, and even checked in with me the day before my operation which helped my nerves! They are a dream team, and felt very supported by both of them.

Mr. Arambage is a world-class surgeon based in Oxford. It is strange to owe so much to someone I met for less than three hours: one hour for triage, and less than two for the hysterectomy itself. After suffering for years from adenomyosis and endometriosis, two days after the surgery I was almost completely pain-free – I didn’t even need a single Nurofen. My deepest gratitude to Arambage and his skilful surgical team.

I cannot recommend Dr Arambage enough! I was feeling uneasy about a diagnosis, and after speaking with Dr Arambage I felt a huge weight lifted off of me. He allowed me to be open, vulnerable and emotional. He showed great empathy and reassurance and I couldn’t have asked for a better consultation. He answered all my questions, provided so much information and overall my experience was 10/10. Thank you for reassurance and advice!

This is the second time I have used Dr Arambage for a hysterectomy and couldn’t recommend him enough! I suffered very badly with a solid heavy period for 17 months and other symptoms and the bleeding and symptoms have gone already and I’m only 2 weeks post surgery! He was very thorough with the consultation and gave options and advice on how to move forward. The surgery went well and he came to check on me after and updated myself and my husband separately on how it went. Fiona is a wonderful secretary to Dr Arambage, very accommodating and friendly plus she always replies to emails fast.

I cannot commend Mr Arambage and his team highly enough.

I had a laparoscopically assisted hysterectomy in September for a fibroid that has really impacted my daily life in recent years. Mr Arambage was patient and kind. He took time to go through my scan in detail and discuss the various treatment options prior to the operation. He came recommended to me and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others. Fiona, his secretary, was also incredibly helpful and efficient. She made the appointment and operation process as stress free as possible. Thank you both.

Dr. Arambage performed a hysterectomy on my wife who had stage 4 endometriosis, multiple large cysts on both ovaries and adhesion between uterine wall and rectosigmoid. He came very highly recommended by Dr Kollipara (our previous gynaecologist) who we respect a lot. As our case was quite complicated we wanted somebody who is dealing with complex cases like ours on a daily basis. We saw few other consultants in thames valley area but were not very satisfied. The first appointment with Dr Arambage was a video call which lasted around one and half hour. The way he answered all our questions and concerns with a smile, drawing pictures and making sure we understand all the choices, we already knew he was the doctor we were looking for. The operation lasted around 4 and a half hours due to all the complexities but was well executed and went as per plan. The doctor gave detailed briefing and showed pictures after the procedure. During the 3 days at hospital, the doctor visited every day and checked the healing and any other issues. During the healing period after two weeks, my wife experienced some discomfort. It was bank holiday weekend but can’t thank Fiona enough (Dr Arambage’s secretary) who was responding to emails, trying to organize consultation and doing all she could to help. The issue luckily was quite minor and my wife is keeping well roughly 2 months after the procedure now. We are grateful to both Dr Arambage and Fiona for excellent service, professional care and wish them best in future. Happy to recommend them wholeheartedly to all patients who have complex endometriosis issues, ovarian cysts and hysterectomy requirements

Mr Arambage and his team performed a hysterectomy on me last Saturday. He managed to remove a monster fibroid by keyhole surgery, leaving minimal scarring. The whole process has been significantly less invasive and painful than I had anticipated. The anaesthetic also did not cause any issues. Mr Arambage’s secretary has also been extremely helpful and responsive. The operation was organised quickly and efficiently, and the communication has been consistently excellent. I have been really impressed with the whole team, and am extremely grateful to Mr Arambage for his expertise!

Not a lot else to say. Mr Arambage definitely went above and beyond. He saw something that looked a bit odd, called a fellow professional in who agreed with him. 2 weeks later I’m having another operation sorting out something that definitely needed doing even though I had no symptoms whatsoever. Thank you! My hysterectomy went well, Mr Arambage kept me informed the whole time and I felt valued and listened to. His team complemented him beautifully, Fiona is an absolute gem and I would not hesitate to recommend him or his team.

I cannot speak highly enough of Mr Arambage. I felt listened to and valued from start to finish. He found something odd and dealt with it. His entire team was wonderful, it was as if I were with a bunch of old friends from the start. Waiting with the anaesthetist before going in to the theatre I could hear a cheerful team getting ready for me. That in itself gave me a huge boost of confidence. Thank you Kirana! You have given me my life back.

Mr Arambage carried out a thorough assessment and explained my gynaecological problem in much more detail than I had had previously. I felt he listened to me and explained the problem so well I understood more clearly why I had been experiencing the symptoms. This gave me the confidence to proceed with surgery; hysterectomy, carried out at the Manor hospital. Mr Arambage visited me before and after surgery and called my partner immediately post-surgery to let him know I was ok, which was much appreciated. The surgery went smoothly with no complications and I am hopeful the chronic pain I had pre-surgery has improved. His secretary, Fiona, was very helpful making the arrangements and responding promptly to my queries. The process was quick and easy and I felt in control throughout.

I have been trying to sort out some gynae issues for a fair few years now and Mr Arambage’s gentle, no-nonsense, ‘let’s just get on and sort this’ attitude, helped by an incredibly efficient service brilliantly organised by his assistant Fiona Goulthorp, resulted in me having everything sorted within weeks. I was quite scared of the procedure; not just because of the ‘major operation’ descriptor, but because of what it meant to me as a woman. All the people involved, receptionists, consultants, anaesthetist, technician, nurses and caterers worked to make me feel confident and properly cared for. And a final shout out to Rita Pinto, a nurse in the pre op team at the Manor Hospital. She had told me I needed a PCR test & would have to go back into Oxford the next day. Having established this was no longer necessary, Rita took it upon herself to personally deliver an LFT to my front door - thank you Rita. And thank you to everyone involved in looking after me last week. You were all amazing.

Mr Arambage’s sincere concern about helping to improve his patients’ health, his ability to truly listen and communicate in a down-to-earth, genuinely courteous manner made me feel extremely comfortable in his care. As a surgeon, I feel his standard of excellence would be difficult to surpass, and I would definitely recommend him to any woman requiring a hysterectomy.

For the first time since my endometriosis pains started, I felt validated and listened to. Dr Arambage was brilliant at making me feel heard and easing my mind before the surgery. After the surgery, he called my husband as promised with an update as to how the surgery went. He then waited until the next day (when I was more coherent) to talk me through what they found. Dr Arambage explained each picture they took of my inner abdomen, and was incredibly patient when I asked him many questions. He told me my pain was so valid (I have stage 4 endo) and was just overall amazing. A special thank you to Fiona as well, she was absolutely lovely to be speaking to! She would respond to emails, be very reassuring and just very pleasant. Absolutely great team, would definitely recommend for endo treatment!

I am extremely grateful to have been in the care of Dr Arambage!!! I was so lucky to be reffered to him by Dr Okwuosa (she said I would be in the best hands and I definitely agree with the statement! ) Incredibly knowledgeable, very positive, kind and dedicated. Each time I spoke with him he made me feel listened to and comfortable. After my surgery he kindly phoned my family to update them on how the surgery went, visited me and called when he couldn't come in person. He really goes above and beyond for his patients. I cannot thank him enough! I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone suffering with endometriosis. I am also thankful to Fiona for all the help arranging my appointments, quick response and sharing the information as needed.

For Context I am a in my mid-forties with an active lifestyle. At the time of the surgery, I was exercising 5-6 days every week. I had surgery to remove fibroids. I thought it would be better to write this review after I have had my six week post-operative review so as to have comprehensive picture of events. My experience with Dr. Kirana Arambage (Dr A as I fondly call him) is nothing short of a miracle. Right from how I got to know about him up until the time of writing. I had been on the NHS waitlist for over a year and was at the point where I needed to find a Doctor privately to address my health concerns. I heard about Dr A through a mutual friend of one of his patients. I spoke to the lady and she had only very good things to say about her experience with Dr A. She put me in touch with Dr A’s secretary Fiona. Initial Consultation Fiona was very pleasant and efficient and promptly arranged my initial consultation with Dr A. I was very impressed with the treatment plan proposed by Dr A. One of the reasons was that he assured me that he would be able to remove all the fibroids in one surgery. Doctors I had previously consulted with made it clear that I may have to undergo two separate procedures due to the locations and sizes of the fibroids. The other reason has to do with Dr A being an Advanced Laparoscopic Surgeon which means that the surgery would be minimally invasive, I would have faster recovery times and be left with fewer scars. Dr A sounded very knowledgeable and empathetic. He listened to me, provided answers to all my questions and reassured me about my concerns. Speaking to Dr A, I felt like he cared about me as a human as opposed my being just a statistic (I had felt this way with one of my previous doctors) He was everything his previous patient spoke about and then some. This built my confidence and I went ahead and gave the go ahead for the surgery to be arranged. Pre-operation tests Since I live in Wales and Dr A is in Oxford, he arranged for me to go into the local Nuffield Health Hospital get all my blood tests and Covid test done. This meant that I didn’t have to travel to Oxford for these. The Surgery On the day of the surgery, I arrived at the Nuffield Health Manor Hospital in Oxford and was checked into my room. Dr A promptly arrived and went over the procedure with me. He went through all the things we had discussed during my consultation and the desired outcomes. He also discussed the procedure with my family member over the phone and agreed to keep them updated on the procedure and outcomes. While I was prepped for surgery, I casually asked the anesthetist (not really expecting it was going to happen) if it was possible to have the procedure recorded so that I could view it later. He said he would let Dr A know and would you believe I had a video recording of the surgery handed to me as I was discharged. My surgery took longer than planned once I was under general anesthesia but Dr A remained patient and ensured that he achieved all the outcomes discussed with me. All the while putting my safety above everything else. He also coordinated with the staff to keep my family members updated during surgery and at ease. Recovery When I regained consciousness I spoke briefly to Dr A before being wheeled to my room. I had adequate care from the nurses and resident doctor. The day after surgery, I was able to walk the length of the corridor at three separate times throughout the day. I had help taking a shower and was able to pass urine. I was given medications for pain and I had paracetamol over the first 24hours. By day 2, I was monitored regularly to ensure that I was recovering as I ought to and was given all that I needed where necessary. I had a bowel movement, was able to have a shower by myself and didn’t require any more pain medication to the surprise of the medical staff. I’m not entirely sure why but I wasn’t in any pain and honestly didn’t feel like I had major surgery. I sensed a bit of surprise from Dr A because he kept saying to me that I have just had major surgery. I’m thankful for him stressing that, otherwise I might have been tempted to return to my active lifestyle sooner than I ought to. The video recording (which I watched when I returned home) was also helpful for me understanding the extent of the surgery because I just didn’t feel like my body had been through that. I was discharged on day 3 and I made the journey back to Wales without any issues afterwards. Dr A kept in touch by telephone afterwards to ensure that I was recovering as expected. I have since had my monthly cycle and it’s more like what it was when I was in my twenties. I have also had my six week post-op review with Dr A and he is happy with my recovery. In summary, my experience with Dr Arambage exceeded all my expectations. He is a very skilled and compassionate surgeon. My recovery time was very short, the biggest incision on my stomach is one inch in length and my monthly cycle is back to ‘my’ normal. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Although I had to travel to Oxford for the surgery, I think it was worth it. I totally recommend his services to anyone in need of it.

I was lucky enough to have Mr Arambage recommended to me by my NHS Consultant, as I was able to use Bupa services. The first time I met Mr Arambage via a Zoom Call, I immediately warmed to him. Mr Arambage had been sent my scans & reports and explained exactly what he thought should be happening during the removal of my cysts & ovaries. He was especially concerned about my Endometriosis, which I hadn’t previously been made aware of, by other Consultants. My biggest worry was, that I would not be able to have keyhole surgery as my NHS Consultant was worried about scar tissue etc, but Mr Arambage gave me complete confidence that he would be able to carry out the operation by keyhole surgery, although he also explained the risks and obviously, if he would have to do more invasive surgery, he would deal with this. I’m very happy to say that everything went ahead successfully and I’m near enough back to full strength after 3 weeks. Mr Arambage did a fantastic job and the incisions are that tiny, that they are hardly noticeable. If I could choose my Gynaecologist in the future , it would definitely be Mr Arambage, he is a real specialist in his field.

I was incredibly impressed with the care provided by Mr Arambage. He was very detailed in answering my questions, and made the process much less terrifying. He removed endometriosis from my abdomen and documented the whole surgery, and after some complications with painkillers after I'd been discharged he called a couple of days later to check I was doing okay. I'm now six weeks post op, have more energy than I've had in years, and my pain has significantly reduced in ways I hadn't dared think would be possible. I would strongly recommend him.

Thank goodness that in Mr Kirana Arambage we have a superb Consultant Gynaecologist and more. Firstly, he is a great communicator, approachable and listens carefully to his patient taking their views into account. In August 2020 he and his team operated on my daughter as an NHS patient at the Manor Hospital. This involved excision surgery of my daughter's severe Endometriosis and adhesion removal. The findings were far worse than anticipated resulting in a long, complicated surgery, which has significantly reduced bowel pain in particular. We are very grateful to him and his team at Oxford. Mr Arambage is clearly very capable and experienced but he also goes the extra mile with his genuine concern and explanations to his patient and their family. He does it all with empathy and care.

I feel incredibly lucky to have been under the care of Mr Arambage for the surgical excision of my endometriosis. I had suspected endometriosis following a provisional diagnosis declared by my GP, and was therefore seeking specialist advice and care to ensure it was managed in the best possible way. After an initial consultation, Mr Arambage and his secretary, Fiona, were both very quick to schedule my surgery, ensuring a thorough pre-op assessment, whilst helping me to navigate it all safely around the Covid-19 pandemic. I felt reassured throughout, from consultation through to post-op follow up, and it was Mr Arambage's empathy, unwavering commitment of time, kindness and transparency that I very much felt and appreciated. I had also spent quite a bit of time reading and studying endometriosis, and his approach and treatment solutions aligned to what I'd read in publications from the world's leading endometriosis consultants. This is reflective of his expertise, and commitment to research in endometriosis and related conditions. Thank you to Mr Arambage and his team for such professional, insightful and supportive care.

After 11 surgeries with another consultant, I was understandably apprehensive in finding and working with another. Dr Arambage was recommended to be by a colleague. He reassured me from the first words of our initial call. His knowledge is extensive, applicable to varying circumstances, he is confident in his expertise whilst willing to discuss and listen to other opinions. He quite simply cares, he took not only the immediate medical requirement into consideration, he took my life into it to - my family, which are always the first consideration for me.

My consultant Kirana Arambage and his team provided me with fantastic care from my first consultation through to the surgery itself. It makes a huge difference when your consultant listens to you and then works with you to define the next steps. I am grateful to now have someone of his professionalism and experience to reference if I have any further concerns. I would unhesitatingly recommend this consultant and his team to other women.

Mr Arambage was quite simply probably the best doctor I have ever seen. I went to see him in a state of emotional distress, during a time of global distress, in very strange circumstances and he installed a moment of calm into me. He was the first doctor that i have seen to find a remedy or relief from my PMDD that actually told me NOT TO DO ANYTHING! Every other specialist i have seen has advised I change something or try something new but not Mr Arambage. He was empathic, he listened, he normalised, and he quite simply said his advise was to do nothing for the time being. I loved that he owned his advise too. What a wonderful Doctor. I would recommend him in a second and would like to transfer all my care to him for my PMDD despite having seen one of the best specialists in the country. Thank you so so much.

Mr Arambage took the time to listen to all my concerns. He asked a lot of questions about my symptoms and the way I had been misdiagnosed over the years. He knew exactly how to proceed with treating my stage 4 endometriosis and immediately organised for scans and an operation to remove it. He was kind, patient and extremely efficient. After the operation he explained everything he had done and showed me pictures which really helped me to understand it all. I can’t thank him enough for his care and would highly recommend him to other endometriosis sufferers!!

I hugely appreciate Dr. Arambage for his guidance and patience. I developed fibroids within the cavity that resulted in severe pain and bleeding. Under Dr. Arambage's vigilance I was able to have a quick surgery. During the process and my stay in the hospital, the doctor personally explained me the process and assured me that this procedure would help me get me back my normal routine. I was relived when the doctor met again after my the surgery and was confident on my recovery. I am glad that I was treated by Dr. Arambage and would sincerely thank him for making this experience as smooth as possible.

I was recently under Mr Arambage's care at the end of March and just before we went into lockdown due to Covid-19. These were (and continue to be) challenging times. My surgery was prioritised and I went in for my operation very quickly after my initial consultation. Throughout this, Mr Arambage was very supportive, considerate and took care to advise me of the risks of undertaking surgery when the hospital was subject to restrictions because of Covid, in addition to the risk pertaining to my condition. He really is an excellent doctor who I would not hesitate to recommend. I had a full debrief of the surgery both in the hospital and a detailed follow up consultation. This has been very helpful and appreciated during quite a stressful time. In terms of the surgery itself, I am still astounded in terms of the work Mr Arambage did - which included him reconstructing part of my ovary and treating my endometriosis. Throughout this, he has been a very thoughtful and understanding doctor. It is clear that he is very passionate about his work and cares for his patients.

Mr. K. Arambage is one of the finest consultants I have met throughout the history of my illness. He is an 'old school doctor' which is rare to come across in present times. He is kind, patient and some who would take time to listen to and understand everything you’re going through. The knowledge and expertise that he processes is second to none. He has truly changed my life around and practically cured me of my stage 4 endometriosis and adenomyosis. His advice and treatment plans have avoided me from having surgery. He's someone that will try his very best to explore all possible avenues before offering any invasive treatment such as surgery. I am always treated like a superstar during our appointments :) and feel I get the very best out of our time. What’s not to like about that! :D I would highly recommend this wonderful doctor!

Mr Arambage has a fantastic bedside manner. A great listener who takes the time to make sure you understand his treatment plan. He not only visited me twice post-surgery to see how I was doing and make sure I was up to speed about what actually happened during surgery, he also rang my family personally whilst I was in the recovery room to update them on my progress. He leaves patients feeling safe and confident in his care.

Mr Arambage was my surgeon for a recent laparoscopy and he was absolutely amazing. He listened to what me and my husband wanted to happen and followed our wishes. I trusted him all the way through and knew he was acting in our best interests. I would definitely recommend him and also his secretary Fiona has been extremely helpful answering all our questions very promptly.

After being diagnosed with Endometriosis I have to say I went to the correct person, Doctor Arambage who explain and reassured me that my pain would ease off after the surgery. The whole experience from the very beginning to up to this date has been excellent. Mr Arambage and his team have been so supportive and caring, it has made such a difference for my whole recuperation. I would definitely with no doubt at all recommend him and also the staff at the Manor Hospital in Oxford who looked after me so well. Thank you all so much.

Kirana Arambage operated on me to treat symptoms of endometriosis that I’ve had for 8+ years. I had a laparoscopic excision of endometriosis, which I have to say, within a month of surgery I have already noticed a difference. I had no mid cycle pain (which has previously been very troublesome), I didn’t even register that my period was coming! No pain! Wow! I don’t mind in sounding cliche in saying that Mr Arambage’s operating on me has literally changed my life. Within 3 weeks I’ve returned to work by commuting in on my bicycle, to feeling a young, healthy 27 year old (what I should be like) which is exactly the result I wanted! On the day of my surgery I was overwhelmed with the professionalism of Mr Arambage and his team. He treated me with dignity and respect. Despite finishing his operating list into the later hours of the evening he came to see me, with a smile and calmness on his face, and made me feel at ease. Thank you Mr Arambage.

I had a very serious case of endometriosis and I was on medication constantly for the past 3 years. It affected my life so bad and so much in so many ways that I don't want to think of it. After I saw Dr. Arambage I felt that finally after 5 years someone listened to me and understood the situation. He scheduled me for a laparoscopy and he took care of every detail, studying my case carefully, assessing it correctly, assembling all the doctors that were necessary, including a urologist to put stents in order to avoid damage to my (previously hurt) ureters, arranged the cleaning of my bladder (that wasn't treated in a previous surgery 7 years ago in Greece) and overall, gave me my life back. I wish I had met him 5 years ago. Not to mention that he arranged immediately for the removal of the stents as NHS managed to completely forgot to arrange the appointment after I was dismissed from the hospital. I have been calling various services in NHS and nobody seemed to know what to do. When I reached out to Dr. Arambage, he responded within less than 2 hours and the problem was solved the very next day as an appointment was arranged for a week later. If I did I may have still been able to have a child. Dr. Arambage is a great doctor and I feel lucky that he was the one that treated me. I can recommend him and I consider him as one of the best gynecologist and surgeons at least in UK
