I saw Mr Pavlakis at Southend hospital so some of the questions don’t apply as not a private hospital. He has been a wonderful doctor to me, both at the time of surgery and subsequently. His manner, the way he explains everything and his attention to detail are exemplary.

I would certainly recommend Mr Pavlakis. I'm so glad I chose the surgery option. Everything was explained perfectly on what was going to happen during surgery right up to being told I no longer have cancer. Unbelievably professional.

Dr Pavlakis gave me enough time to explain my issues, listened carefully, made an objective assessment and explained to me the available remedies. He also gave me good advice and information.
