Explanation

I got very clear information about procedure, about everything that should happen before and after it. At the day of surgery, dr Prunel visited me in the patient care with all explanations and information about what I can expect in the operation theater. That approach gives me confidence about operator and procedure as well. During procedure at any time I had information what is going on (procedure was in local anesthesia) and I feel very well and safe and sound. After procedure and before discharge, dr Prunel visited me again and gave me all answers on my questions. Follow up was in the same manner as all previously mentioned - very clear and professional.

It has been 2 months since my surgery that's done by Dr François. personally I was very concerned since I have done hernia repair surgery abroad 20 years ago and had few complications. luckily I came across dr François he was very attentive to my case and went though my medical history, explained in depth what's his approach and the type of surgery that has to be done. the surgery went super smooth and easy with a little discomfort. All instructions and recommendations was clearly explained, all my questions were answered and even i was able to reach him easily after I left the hospital with some concerns and he was thrilled to answer me Dr François Prune is highly recommended for anyone require a surgery or have some concerns.

Explanation

I had pains in my left side groin area for some years but ignored it and thought it was nothing. I was asked by my GP to go and see Dr Francois @ Mubadala Health Dubai. I was a bit sceptical to have it seen by an any doctor's in Dubai. I previously had a really bad experience with doctors at prime Hospital regarding a small lump in my knee……… all about making Money not about patients care, safety nor quality. I went to see Dr Francois. He was amazing, after I had my scan, we got the results. He sat down with me and explained throughly what would be the procedure, how long it will take, recovery time and how it will affect me. The whole team explained and gave me that assurance and the patient care and quality was there 💯. My recovery time was 6 weeks and back at the gym with no pain. Thank you to the team at MHD
