Six weeks after treatment I can say only superlatives about wide knowledge of Dr.Dighe. Definitely is an expert treating hernias. My surgery went well and fluent, doctor Dighe decided to do an open hernia in my case, as a person struggling with left groin hernia for 18 months ,I was happy i get rid of it. Treatment itself looks very professional from beginning to end, everything was fully explained. Thank You very much doctor and Northsdawn Hospital crew for put me together properly with professionalism, smile and empathy. I would trust doctor Dighe in future, especially his work in clean environment of Northsdawn Hospital in Caterham. To sum up, overall experience was marvelous and pleasant, i wish to meet such experts in future, definitely recommended!

I accompanied my elderly mother to an appointment with Mr Dighe. It was an extremely worthwhile consultation. He put us at ease from the start & was clearly very knowledgeable. He was patient & thoughtful with my mother.

Mr Dighe has been very friendly and approachable and has taken the time to ensure tests were done to confirm the root cause of my issue. Whilst cautiously optimistic he also took the time to explain how it may not work. That said I'm 6 weeks post surgery and it appears to have fixed my issue, I am very happy!
