Had a laparoscopic Cholecystectomy on the 3rd July 2026. Mr kostalas made me feel very comfortable with his shared knowledge explained everything before operation. Operation took longer than expected. My after care was fantastic, he came to check on me quite a few times. Just been for 6 week check. Everything healed perfectly and I feel like my old self.
