Big thanks to Dr Vikram Balakrishnan in Box Hill. I had a colonoscopy and was impressed with how calm he kept me throughout the procedure. The team at 1 Arnold Street were friendly, and I felt well looked after from check-in to discharge. Highly recommend for anyone in the area needing a careful bowel consult.
I recently had hemorrhoid treatment with Dr Balakrishnan and it went smoothly. He explained the options clearly and did the procedure with minimal discomfort. The Box Hill clinic is easy to get to, and I appreciated the follow-up call afterwards.
Saw Dr Vikram for an anal fissure repair. I was a bit nervous, but his approach was thorough and reassuring. Recovery has been steady and I’m back to my normal activities in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs quicker than I expected.
From initial consult to post-op care, Dr Balakrishnan was outstanding. Diagnosed a bowel issue and recommended a laparoscopic approach where suitable. The Box Hill team explained everything clearly and I felt in safe hands.
