It was a good experience with the doctor, however, I was told by the doctor to book a follow up appointment at the reception. Upon requesting follow up dates, the receptionist told me that someone would call me after 12pm to discuss available appointment dates. No one called me and I got a confirmation of an appointment email for 3rd Sep at 10 am. This should have been discussed with me whether the time works for me or not.

To sum up my my entire experience, from my initial consultation through to my surgery and aftercare, Dr Ali-Lami’s surgical expertise, care and attention has been superb. I would also like to thank his support team in the office for their help and guidance.
