- Most amazing surgeon, I am finally pain free all because of him
- Mr Saker was very professional and reassuring when explaining my treatment. The actual treatment was a great success
- Dr Sarker was very engaging and very helpful throughout the whole process, would definitely recommend him.
- The times I visited Mr Sarker I found him very friendly and the advice given was very accurate. He was very though with the various methods of looking at both of my hands.
- I was seen very quickly, my treatment was explained clearly and the surgery went very well.
- Following my fairly recent operation my finger has healed perfectly, I have full movement with minimal/barely perceptible scarring
- I would not hesitate to highly recommend Mr Sarker. Mr Sarker was clear on the procedure, the after effects including numbness and the required physiotherapy to restore the finger to maximum strength and flexibility. The whole procedure was completed flawlessly.
