Mr A J Shah is a highly skilled and knowledgeable surgeon who carried out my inguinal hernia repair. The whole experience proved positive, commencing from initial consultation stage through to surgery and my final clinic appointment before being discharged into the care of my GP. He was professional and approachable and took time to explain the procedure in great detail whilst listening very carefully to my own concerns. I would highly recommend Mr A J Shah and his team for the expertise, compassion and excellent patient care I received throughout the process and was extremely pleased with the outcome of my surgery.
