Amit focuses on a patient-centred approach to the assessment and management of all general surgical conditions, and ensures patients have a good understanding of their condition and treatment options and delivers prompt direct patient support. Amit’s emphasis on a minimally invasive approach aims to minimise patient impact, quicken recovery and lead to excellent outcomes.
