Seems genuinely interested in patients and very considerate and caring. I felt I was in very safe hands at all times. Clear instructions on what to do whilst waiting for operation in case of emergency. Very clear explanation of whole procedure before and after operation. Very happy to recommend.
Mr Shah was extremely helpful and polite and he also made me feel at ease in my appointments and at my surgery. He explained things well and I had a good follow up appointment after my successful surgery.
Excellent support and communication from the start, through the operation and post operation consultation.
