Mr sellahewa was very polite and took the time to explain the procedure I require very thoroughly. I left feeling very positive about the operation I need.
5
He gave me all the information regarding my operation and aftercare. But I did have difficulty understanding some of what was said to me as I was anxious and nervous at the consultation. I had to ask the consultant to repeat somethings he'd said which he did. I was also given a leaflet with more details in it. Although the leaflet was showing the procedure for a smaller hernia the consultant said it was more or less a similar operation.
4.5
He did seem to listen, answered the questions I asked directly and clearly. Sometimes spoke rather quickly.
