Mr Okaro explained everything well, he made his point clearly. He tried very hard to make sure the wound was clean and well stitched, I’m amazed at the job that was done to be honest. I could not have wished for a better outcome. This man is obviously very very good at what he does and I’m grateful the universe placed him at the helm with my operation.
