Procedure was excellent as well as after care. Initially disappointed as procedure was postponed for a fortnight due to staff issues. On day of operation there was confusion as to when, or how much, I could drink.

Mr Gercek very clearly explained my diagnosis and the treatment needed. Throughout his communication with me was excellent and likewise his support and professionalism was reassuring. The surgery itself was very successful for which I am very grateful.
