Dr Spiteri was fantastic, he took care to explain everything very clearly, whilst going into more detail as and when I had questions (I'm autistic and can ask a few questions if I want to understand detail). He explained the issue I was suffering, why it caused pain int he way it did, and then then presented me with the options available to me, whilst recommending the approach that he felt was most appropriate for me, which was a corrective operation. I chose the operation, and on the day of operation was more than happy to put complete faith in him to do a good job, which he clearly did as just one week later I am making an excellent recovery and in far less pain than I had been for weeks prior to the operation. My thanks go out to him and his colleagues for being so professional, caring and skillful at their craft.
Dr Spiteri was recommended to me and was praised at how good of a Dr he was - and I totally agree after meeting him today for the first time. He fitted me into his busy schedule and he was very informative and understanding and 10/10 overall. Thank you!
