Explanation

I had laparoscopic repair of an inguinal hernia in January 2024. At my consultation, Mr El Hasani took the time to explain the process thoroughly, what I can expect on the day and recovery. The questions I was hoping to ask, were already answered at this appointment. On the day of surgery, Mr El Hasani came to visit me prior, after the surgery and the next day. At my follow up, Mr El Hasani provided me with images of the surgery - this was helpful and he explained what was done, and answered any questions I had. He had also identified a weak spot on my other side, which I 100% will have repaired by Mr El Hasani when the time comes. I am really happy I chose Mr El Hasani to perform my surgery, I would recommend him for anyone looking for an experienced, professional surgeon who cares about his patients. Thank you!
