- Mr Khan - a very personable consultant - explained his findings and their implications clearly and understandably, fortunately requiring no obligatory follow up. After asking about symptoms since the procedure, he confirmed his suspicion that the polyp removed was not cancerous and was unlikely to pose problems within a considerable timeframe. He also informed me about how Laxido worked, that it was no quick fix, and of the importance of drinking adequate levels of water.
- Can't think of anything that needs improving or changing
- Doctor Khalid is very understanding with a professional manner he listens to your concerns and give good advice.
