I was seen on time. The procedure was explained and performed. Small dressings applied with after care instructions.
I try very had to run my clinics to time, however it doesn't always work, as I spend as much time as necessary with each patient to ensure I do a good job. I'm delighted this was a good experience for you

Claire was excellent in every respect. I was slightly wrong footed by the recovery time from these operations - I had somehow thought that I might be up and playing golf within two weeks but I clearly didn’t listen carefully enough to Claire’s briefing at the consultation! Probably my fault. I have a major commitment to speak at a meeting on 20th April which I will do but it may be more of a struggle than I thought.
Haha, you have been very honest here. I try to manage every surgery patient's expectations about recovery times. I know I can sound rather fierce about the post op regime - but that comes from years of experience and an understanding of how the body repairs after surgery

Mrs Freeman was very professional and took time to explain my procedure and what I would be able to do afterwards.
That's great you clearly listened well and took on board my advice .Thank you for your review
