Outstanding experience from start to finish and cannot recommend Mr McWhinnie highly enough. Corrected an incisional hernia from a previous surgery in another hospital that left me utterly debilitated. Cannot thank him enough for his professionalism, skill as a surgeon, expertise and lovely caring manner and most of all for giving me my life back. Has restored my faith that there are some outstanding doctors out there.
