I was seen as soon as I arrived at the clinic. I was early for my appointment. Mr Gillani talked me through my injury, then he assessed me. He explained all my options clearly and gave me a choice. I have decided to get keyhole surgery. The paperwork was done and I was seen by a lovely nurse. Swabs and bloods taken. It was such a relief to be seen at last and I have hope that I can return to work and a normal life once I have healed from surgery. Lovely kind gentleman.
As it was the first time as a private medical patient, I didn’t know what to expect but I was put at ease immediately with the friendly , helpful staff at the reception. Mr Gillani, was very pleasant, professional and informative and made me feel relaxed and gave me different options to think about , regarding my knee.. I will look forward to speaking with him again following MRI scan.
