Doctor and nurses were very nice and quite good at putting me at ease in what is an unusual and nerve racking situation. Procedure was completed quickly, and though there was inevitable discomfort I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to have this procedure done.

Dr Ashraf Ali has a very kind and considerate nature, and was able to put me at ease with his reassuring words. Michelle the theatre nurse was equally kind, showing me much empathy, and distracting me throughout the procedure. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your services to others.
