Pre-Op: Explained procedure thoroughly and clearly, was able to answer the questions about procedure and aftercare very well, also explained different options in regards to alternative procedures. Surgery: All went ok, a slight complication during surgery which was explained to me in recovery and after 2nd visit to theatre, after transfer to NHS hospital kept in contact with me everyday and explained what was happening and what the plan was for my care. Post-Op: Mr El Hasani again kept in contact with me asking how i was recovering at home, along with Sheila and Aichen? (spelling?) at Chelsfield after care was excellent and highly recommend.
