Fantastic. Incredibly polite, helpful, kind, knowledgeable, thorough, thoughtful and extremely helpful in every sense couldn’t ask for a better clinician or service

My interactions with Prof Data, both face-to-face and over the phone during CV-19 have always been friendly and professional. Prof Data is polite at all times and he answers queries and concerns in a straightforward an honest way. I have been grateful for his interest in my case having had my gastric bypass surgery in 2009 privately. This meant that until Prof Data picked me up some years ago as a patient I had had no follow up regarding my weight loss progress. It is good to feel that my experiences are being monitored as are my weight, blood profiles, and any nutritional concerns. I cannot speak highly enough of the care and approach that Prof Data has given me. It is very much appreciated.
