- During my consultation Mr Armed explained the procedure thoroughly, weighing the benefits/ disadvantages of different options for me. He answered all my questions and gave me time to think things over. As a nervous patient, I was offered appropriate sedation. During surgery, Mr Armed reassured me by explaining all he was doing.
