From my first consultation with Mr Hewes, I was impressed with his Professionalism, Patience, Compassion and time he spent with me explaining the procedure in an easy, concise way so that I understood the benefits and risks the procedure carried. The procedure itself was performed with no complications or side affects commonly seen with this type of operation, along with my faultless recovery which I have attributed to the skills and experience of Mr Hewes. I cannot thank Mr Hewes enough for giving me the ability to re-set and re-start life with the new healthier me, with health improvements felt virtually from the get go!
