Couldn’t fault any of the care I was given from before, during and after my surgery. Very knowledgeable, helped with what my work needed in order for me to have time off and made me feel very welcome and comfortable

Since meeting Marc during my pre-assessment earlier this year, I had been eager to see him again ahead of my hernia repair surgery. Marc’s ability to explain and articulate his findings to me was very clear and gave me a good understanding of how he would approach the procedure itself. Marc was able to outline the differences between what he may or may not have to do depending on his findings during the surgery. Once again, I was able to understand this clearly due to his helpful explanation of my condition. The information he shared gave me great clarity and relief ahead of my surgery. Marc was extremely friendly and relaxed during my visit. Pre-op, he visited my room to once again explain exactly what he was going to do. Marc took the time to listen to my feelings regarding the operation and ensured that we were both in agreement about what needed to be done. I felt that no question was left unanswered, and I always felt comfortable voicing any concerns or questions I had. Post-op, Marc was quick to visit me again and explain exactly what had happened during the procedure, clarifying the options we had previously discussed. Once again, I felt incredibly grateful and reassured that everything had been done in my best interests, with my health and wellbeing as the priority.

I had my consultation with Dr. Lamah, and they made me feel comfortable and at ease from the very beginning. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and treated me with kindness and professionalism. Although my surgery is still to come, I already feel confident that I’m in safe hands. It’s reassuring to have a doctor who is so approachable, knowledgeable, and caring. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful experience feel much more manageable
