- I had a recent umbilical hernia repair operation with Dr Dvorkin. Dr Dvorkin was polite, clear, reassuring and as importantly human throughout. The communication was always clear and prompt, the operation was very professional and fuss-free. The post op recovery instructions were also clear and I was supported by Dr Dvorkin and the whole team throughout. Thank you Dr Dvorkin.
- Mr Dvorkin kept me informed of what was going to happen before the operation, what to expect int the days/weeks afterwards and came and saw me after surgery and reassured me that everything had gone well.
- Prof Dvorkin made.the process easy and gave me the confidence to go ahead with the procedure. The hispitalnstaff were very attentive and caring The after care was excellent too.
- Since I saw Dr Dvorkin it has changed my quality of life in such a positive way! I am delighted I saw him and had the procedure.
- Had my first ever surgery so was a bit nervous, Prof. Dvorkin was very professional before, during and after the operation was done. I'm on my way now to full recovery (touch-wood) and can highly recommend him and Jayne which was very responsive and helpful. Thank you both.
- Service was excellent throughout, all staff professional, courteous and friendly. Would recommend to family and friends.
- Prof Dvorkin thorough in his assessment of the condition and explanation of the procedure required to fix it. He was extremely friendly. On surgery day he brought calmness with his confidence and explanations. The same in the post surgery check ups where he assessed the healing.
- Met with the Professor to discuss a sensitive matter following a charity bike ride. I found him to be patient, sympathetic and very friendly. Being a cyclist himself, he understood my predicament and provided necessary advice and treatment. The matter was dealt with swiftly. Thks
