Initially shocked at the cost but agreed to pay for the operation and glad I did. A bit disappointed with the initial result but quite satisfied with my progress since the operation. Mr Sakthivel has been very caring and good at explaining the process.

Operation was a complete success. Overnight hospital stay was very much appreciated. I would have been very worried and concerned if I'd been sent home on same day as Operation. Was very pleased to have been given an epidural as I would not have wanted to have been knocked out.
