I cannot praise the clinical and communicational skills of De Sivapathasuntharam highly enough. As for the former, her expert grasp of an enormous range of practical and therapeutic understanding is extradinorary. The same applies to the latter, always accompied with both balanced advice and encouragement. Equally, in this regard, she exhibits both empathy and compasionate advice when required, always balanced with clarity about her professional role in the doctor-patient relationship. Finally, while one of her specialisations is geriatrics - in which she excells - this description too narrowly restricts her abilitiies in general medicine for all ages.

She is awesome. So caring and friendly on top of her explaining in detail.

The most engaging of doctors and clearly both accomplished and committed. My consultation with her was a pleasure. Her explanation of my condition and the results of my Dexa scan was clear and concise and her attention to the concerns I voiced was second to none.

I was recommended by my consultant to Dr Sivapathasuntharam following knee surgery. I saw her the next day. She undertook a full examination and suggested what the problem was, which turned out to be exactly correct. She could do this from her wide experience, confirmed by several blood tests. She was extremely helpful and saved a lot of time wondering what was the source of my problem. I am very grateful to her.

We were so impressed with Dr Dhanu’s careful and thorough assessment of Linda and the care and empathy she demonstrated. We were left feeling well informed and able to make the best decisions with Linda about her future care.

Very professional, patient, and empathetic. Very highly recommended.

Dr Siva was friendly and sympathetic, but more importantly she conveyed her real interest and concern with assessing my symptoms, current condition and setting me up for surgery, with the best possible chance of a satisfactory outcome. She went beyond the limits of her engagement to organise an additional echoscan to suit my convenience. She was able to explain the technicalities without being patronising, and, above all, she displayed a sense of humour!

I have had the pleasure of working with the lovely Dr Siva for several years and have every confidence in her skills with the complex issues which frequently arise in older people’s medicine. It is reassuring to share patients with complex medial problems, as her expertise undoubtedly leads to better outcomes.
