- Dr Laskaratos and all the staff at no.1 Welbeck were excellent. I would highly recommend Dr Laskaratos and the Centre to others. A tiny comment, a hook on the back of the ensuite bathroom door would be useful !

- Dr Laskaratos has been amazing. I had a very urgent situation that needed a very quickly endoscopy. Less than 48 hours of reaching out, I was having the procedure and given the right treatment. Dr made sure to speak to me, to explain me in detail everything, before and after the gartroscopy. I know who I am reaching out to should I need help with GI healthcare.
