My overall experience was good. However I was on site for nearly five hours and felt that the surgeons list was quite chaotic on that particular day. My diahcharg felt quite rushed. As soon as my surgery was complete and I had been taken back through to the waiting room , there was no take as long as you like. It was more you can go. But both the length of time and the discharge didn’t take away from the Lovley staff or the whole experience.
