Very kind and understanding. Mr Oworu explained everything fully in my initial consultation enabling me to make the right decisions for me. He visited me before theatre, spoke to me all the way through my procedure which was under local anaesthetic explaining everything he was doing. He checked on me after theatre with post op advice and rang me as promised a few days later to check how I was. Seen 3 weeks post op in clinic and discharged. I had contact details throughout my experience in case I felt needed to speak to him. Really pleased with my results- best decision I made and super grateful for his care and attention.
