Mr kostales repaired my hernia very successfully. I found him to be very approachable, friendly and supportive. He explained the procedure very clearly and l felt confident and reassured. My scars have healed very well and my discharge meeting was friendly and professional. I am delighted and pleased to have had him as my surgeon.

Mr Kostalas has changed my life. I had my gallbladder removed by him and since having the surgery, I had no complications at all, my incisions have healed really well, tiny and incredibly neat. My chiropractor complimented how neat they looked. Since having the surgery, I have had no pain that wasn’t manageable, and since healing I’ve had no pain, just slight discomfort from things settling into their new place. Furthermore, my IBS has caused me no issues since having my gallbladder out, which also is a huge benefit to me as my ibs was quite severe before surgery. I’m very happy, and incredibly grateful. His professional manner has constantly put me at ease. Thank you so much, for giving me my life back!
