His honesty is above what you would imagine to which can be very painful to except but it is so important for us as patient to follow all that is told to us. Mr Bonanomi has changed my life for the better in every way possible and I will be eternally grateful to him.
- High recommended Dr Bonanomi, not only was my full surgery experience and recovery flawless he really has a wonderful bedside manner and makes you feel very well cared for. He listens well, answers questions thoughtfully and never makes you feel like you’re just a number.
- It was in 2009 when as a Private Patient I was under the care of Mr. Gianluca Bonanomi, who performed a Nissen Fonduplication. I was very well looked after by Mr. Bonanomi and his team and I would certainly recommend him.
- All very satisfactory and reassuring.
- Maybe a good idea to mend the toilet flushing system… apart from water wastage, first impressions count for a lot! Otherwise friendly and helpful staff, and punctual attendance by the consultant. Thank you. Simon
- Outstanding care throughout. I would recommend Mr Bonanomi without hesitation for anyone requiring surgery for an inguinal hernia. But what was also extremely impressive was that he communicated with me directly both before and after the surgery.
- My experience with Doctor Bonanomi was great. He conducted my gallbladder surgery and was extremely informative and helpful both pre and post operation. His people skills are outstanding and the quality of treatment impressive.
- Amazing surgeon with excellent people skills would not hesitate to recommend him to family and friends. I would not have trust any other surgeon do my surgery as it was a complicated procedure and Mr Bonanomi completed the surgery successfully with no complications.
