Brilliant Doctors assistants prior to surgery. Clear and understandable explanations and very friendly in their manner. Doctor Karim (with whom I had a very good previous consultation) was also excellent. Made me relax and fully explained all I needed to know about the surgery. Absolutely amazing service all round, not least to other staff that greeted me and arranged a further appointment including Reception staff that were friendly upon arrival and departure. The money I have spent on this procedure was worth every penny. Thank you to all.

Excellent communicator and the first treatment was carried out with great care. Three weeks later, there’s no scarring. I will be coming back for more treatment.
