Dr Besherdas was reassuring, calming and very clear in his explanation of symptoms and their causes. I cannot rate him highly enough.

Very nice man and instantly puts you at ease

Good . It was a good consultation but was quite short. An extended consultation would have been better in order to get the best treatment for the condition.

I have finally after 10 years been properly diagnosed with GORD by Dr Besherdas and will probably take the jump and have the operation! He really listens to his patients and gets to the bottom of the problem. Will definitely recommend.

After over 11 years of being told I had IBS and not given much help in managing it, or if there was any underlying cause I finally got referred to Dr. Besherdas, he sent me for a few tests to rule out various things and finally got to the bottom of what's been causing me years of discomfort! Would not hesitate to recommend him, he's been instrumental in me now finally feeling better, with a caring attitude and a genuinely lovely Doctor to deal with as a patient. If I never need further treatment I would definitely return to see him.

The care and dignity I was given by Kalpesh Besherdas and his team was excellent. Certain procedures were performed sympathetically preserving dignity at all times. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

I have a problem with reflux which means I have been unable to eat properly. I was originally referred to Dr. Besherdas eight years ago and he dealt with a stricture in my gullet. The treatment then was excellent. The problem has returned again and he is again carrying out similar treatment. I can thoroughly recommend him for his excellent knowledge, treatment and patient understanding.

I first met Dr Besherdas around ten years ago after being referred directly to him by my GP. On the initial consultation he reassured me and displayed a calming Dr patient relationship. His diagnosis on that occasion was totally correct. The procedures I underwent demonstrated his skills as a surgeon. A few months ago I was told by GP to see a gastroenterologist, I had no hesitation in contacting Dr Besherdas again. Yet again his comforting manner is still evident, his diagnostic skills have proved correct. Yes another faultless patient journey. A Dr I would not hesitate in referring anyone to.
