Testimonials

Read how our patients' lives have been transformed through our procedures.

and cannot speak highly enough of my experience. From the first consultation, he was thorough and informative, taking the time to clearly explain my condition and treatment options.

What stood out most was his genuine kindness and care. I always felt listened to, never rushed, and completely supported in making decisions about my health. His calm and confident manner gave me great trust in his care.

I’m very grateful for the treatment I received and would highly recommend Dr Kamat.

— Louise Brown

Dr Kamat has always been respectful and supported my decisions throughout my healing process, from a bad back injury, which at times has left me unable to function. Unlike previous back surgeons he has never pushed me in a particular direction, instead informed me of my options and allowed me to make an informed decision best suited to my circumstances. He has also been respectful to my wife and taken the time to inform her of the risks and benefits.

— Brock Waller

Highly recommend. Dr Ameya Kamat has a conservative approach to surgery and I found this very refreshing. All avenues are explored first. I really appreciate this approach and would highly recommend anyone seeing Dr Ameya Kamat even to get a second opinion. His work with RFA treatment is very professional and in my experience has very good results.
