- Sid was a fantastic consultant from start to finish. He provided much reassurance during a stressful and difficult time, and patiently answered any questions I had, no matter how small. On the day of the operation he again gave me kindness and reassurance, and I felt I was in excellent hands during my operation. My recovery has been extremely swift, and the scar is extremely neat and in a few months will not be noticeable at all. Thank you, Sid
