Mr Okaro's preop assessment was very clear and thorough. On the day, he visited once and was both friendly and completely professional. What he didn't do was tell me how long I was going to have to wait - no real problem, but an unknown wait is a long wait!

The consultant was pleasant and professional, although perhaps a little matter-of-fact. I would have appreciated a little more time to discuss my operation, as I was still feeling groggy when he came to see me afterwards. A little more information about the procedure and guidance on recovery, particularly when I could return to certain activities, would have been helpful. The nurse was very helpful, but having the opportunity to discuss my questions with the consultant would have been reassuring.
