From the initial consultation to day of surgery, Mr Abdul Aal was kind, professional, considerate, reassuring and took his time to clearly explain the procedure and answer all my questions. This helped in easing my anxiety and reassured me I was in safe hands. The surgery itself went smoothly and the pre and post operative care I received was outstanding. I would also like to give special thanks to Nurses (Bella, Maria, Christine) who were incredibly kind, attentive and supportive. Thank you for all at Benenden hospital for your dedication, compassion, and professionalism. I am very grateful for the excellent care I received and would highly recommend them to anyone needing similar treatment.
