I was informed of every aspect of the procedure. I was also looked after by the nurses extremely well.
Smooth and efficient experience on the consult and diagnosis. Operation was smooth and the stitching and potential scar much less than anticipated - incredibly neat and healing well. Very happy with my experience and if needed again for something in Ms Cunin’s domain will use again.
Dr Cunin was really professional, but putting me at ease at the same time. Her explanations were clear and she was really helpful in arranging all the further investigations I needed. I would definitely recommend her.
Very well organised visit with zero waiting time to be take through. I’m very happy with final result
Faced with a procedure that no one ever wants to experience, I will always be grateful to Dr Cunin for the exceptional care she provided. She is not only an outstanding surgeon but also an excellent communicator. She has a remarkable ability to explain the facts clearly and honestly, while doing so with genuine warmth, compassion, and reassurance. At my post-surgery check-up, the greatest gift I could give her was a smile and my heartfelt thanks. I cannot recommend Dr Cunin highly enough.
Dr Cunin was extremely friendly but still professional and explained my procedure in a way I easily understood.
I had an initial face to face appointment with Miss Cunin after which she kindly arranged for me to have a telephone appointment with her as I had a few more questions to ask. After my operation, I also had a follow up appointment with her. Miss Cunin clearly explained the procedure I would be having and answered all my questions. I was very anxious but after speaking to her I felt much more positive and confident. I felt listened to. Miss Cunin is professional and compassionate. She had a beneficial impact on my overall well-being, both physical and mental. I feel extremely fortunate to have been referred to Miss Cunin. I hold her in the highest regard and would recommend her to other patients without hesitation.
I’ve suffered with my haemarrhoids for years. Dr Cunin was extremely professional and communicated her management plan to me clearly. I have since had my operation and am extremely pleased with my results.
My most recent visit was the first follow-up post surgery. We covered how I was recovering, how my wounds were healing and my general state of health. Dr Laila Cunin covered all the questions I had, specifically about what activities I could and couldn't do, and what to expect moving forward. She gave clear advice and feedback on my progress and made sure I was comfortable with how I was progressing. It's a a continued reflection of my visits, where Dr Cunin has continuously tried to give as much information as possible, answer any queries and generally try and reassure that although my surgery was complicated and at times scary, there was a clear path to recovery.
