Had been putting surgery off for ages, but in the end decided I had to get it sorted. Was very pleased with Mr Farinella and the outcome of the surgery, along with his pre- and post- op consulations.

I was very nervous about the operation (never had an operation before and the hernia was large), but Mr Farinella reassured me and looked after me very well. Everything went smoothly and the recovery has been straightforward as expected. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend him to all

Mr Farinella gave me all the information and support needed, and the operation was a success. I’ve healed quickly and I feel the whole process was dealt with speed and efficiency.
