- I couldn't have asked for better care during my vein removal. Mr. Siddiqui has a natural, heartfelt way of reassuring you that feels very genuine. In theatre, the team was fantastic; and the music playing really helped me relax. The Nuffield facilities were excellent—having my own room, en-suite and the food service post op made a huge difference. It is the small, kind details from the whole team that stand out. I am deeply grateful for how I was looked after as I start my recovery.
