Explanation

He was very friendly and considerate. However pre op appeared very rushed when he “popped in” to see me and I didn’t see him at all post operation to get any feedback on whether the procedure was executed in a straightforward manner or if any issues were experienced.

Explanation

Mr Okaro did a great job of explaining whatever I needed to understand, and also listening to my concerns so that I felt heard. He also did an awesome job of repairing my hernia… I only needed to take 4 Paracetamol post-operatively and very quickly was able to do much more than I had anticipated.
