- Mr Darakhshan, has provided straight forward explanations for complex issues in a friendly and informative way. His skill & expertise in applying the solution whilst also explaining what to expect gave me significant comfort. I would absolutely recommend him to others.
- At 6 months after he rectified my 2 inguinal hernias ( one recurrence, and tricky), I found the result an outstanding improvement, and it has been a great relief to be back in shape. Fine work and clear and convincing discussions.
