- Mr Cherko operated on our son for a partial parotidectomy. The whole experience was fantastic. Mr Cherko was friendly, understanding, patient and knowledgeable. He also did a superb job with the surgery and had a calming bedside manner. Our son has made a quick and easy recovery.
- Would have liked a detailed receipt and more information re follow up - letter to patient/GP, date for next appointment etc. First time private, self paying patient, so would have welcomed more information from clinic staff.
- Amazing and efficient service and super organised. Sorted my issue at the visit and made my life so much better! Definitely recommend Dr Cherko
