- Prof Foschi is the nicest person I have ever met. A down to earth human being. He is professional in every aspect. He gave me a choice of treatments, explained the process prior and post the procedure and talked through entire procedure to make sure that I was ok. I felt safe under his care. Honestly, I couldn't ask for a better specialist. I am a nurse myself and use such friendly and respectful approach to my patients. I wish all medical professionals could apply such approach to all their patients. If I could, on the scale 1-10, I would score Prof Foschi 11. Recommending him to other patients is the first thing you want to do once you have met him in person.
- Professor Foschi took the time to comprehensively assess my case, provide an expert opinion on a complicated situation and explain his advice clearly. I was most grateful for his help.
- Excellent
- Very friendly and speedy service. The professor is very good at explaining what's going on.
