I am very Satisfied with Doc Francois Thanks For Yours Adivse And Assistance throughout my procedure

He explained each step, made me feel completely confident, and remained very available for questions before and after surgery. The operation and recovery went perfectly.

I had surgery done by the doctor Francois Prunel, it went very well, I am very happy with the result, almost no pain, and great follow-up from the doctor.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the entire team at NMC Hospital for the excellent care I received during my recent emergency appendicitis surgery. Before the operation, I was in severe pain and struggling greatly. The doctors and staff acted quickly, professionally, and with genuine care. The surgery was performed successfully, and I was amazed by how much better I felt just a few hours afterward. I was able to walk more comfortably than before the operation, and my recovery progressed very quickly. By the next day, I was well enough to be discharged and continue recovering at home. A very special thank you goes to Dr. Francois Prunel. He was incredibly kind, supportive, and reassuring throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything clearly and always made me feel comfortable. I am especially grateful for the discount he arranged for my surgery, which made a huge difference and allowed me to proceed with the operation when I needed it most. I would also like to thank all the nurses and hospital staff who looked after me with kindness, professionalism, and compassion. Today, I am feeling absolutely fine, and I am truly grateful for the outstanding care I received. I highly recommend NMC Hospital and Dr. Francois Prunel to anyone in need of medical treatment. Thank you once again for giving me my health back.

I had my laparoscopic cholecystectomy recently, and I’m truly grateful for the care I received. Dr. Francois was very accommodating and made me feel safe and reassured from the very beginning. I was honestly scared at first, but he took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I was comfortable and confident before the procedure. Throughout the process, I felt that I was in good hands. His calm and professional approach really helped ease my anxiety. The surgery went well, and I’m now recovering smoothly. I highly recommend him to anyone who may be feeling nervous—he genuinely cares about his patients and ensures they feel safe every step of the way.
