Dr Hancu was friendly, professional and maintained my dignity during the colonoscopy.

I Found Dr.Daniel Hancu Very informative with the way he explained the operation that I was going to undergo. He took extra time to go through the procedure as I was waiting to go to theatre. The result of the operation he performed has make such a positive impact on me . And at the follow up consultation he took time to explain how to proceed in the future to keep the problem at bay. Overall a great experience and a brilliant Doctor
I felt completely at ease, the doctor explained what was going to happen, asked me if there was any questions that I would like to ask.
Dr Hancu had a great bedside manner and explained clearly what would happen and the preliminary results
