The whole process from the pre-operative to the post-operative visits were conducted with efficiency and care. Ms Faraj clearly demonstrated a person-centred approach throughout the examinations and the surgical procedure. All procedures were conducted competently and each explanation was clear, informative and non-patronising. Thank you Lana for taking such good care of me.
