Maria operated on our son when he was just 19 weeks old, she genuinely changed our lives giving our little boy the best chance of over coming his kidney issue and giving us our family back. We will be forever grateful for her care, her kind words and her amazing work. ThanksMaria

Mrs Farrugia was extremely professional and really caring with our 5 year old. She is definitely the best in field, she was recommended to us by another consultant and I am soo thankful that she was. She fully informed me prior and post surgery. Definitely recommend.
