- From start to finish my whole experience was 1st class . I cannot fault the hospital or staff in anyway . No one wants to be ill and need hospital treatment but if you do find yourself needing treatment I genuinely feel this has to be one off the best hospitals in the world .also my surgeon Alberto Albanese takes time to talk you through the procedure and following the operation regularly visits your bed to check on you . Clearly him and his team are the best in there field of medicine
