James Rudd is very professional and an excellent surgeon. He put me at ease before the operation and I did not feel apprehensive at all. What is good is that as soon as I had recovered got transferred to the ward James told me that the surgery had gone well and that he was satisfied with the outcome. I felt very reassured.
