I consulted Mr Ramus last September for repair surgery following the diagnosis of recurrence from an earlier hernia operation done elsewhere. I found Mr Ramus to be courteous, approachable and highly professional during all my appointments. The operation itself went extremely well using keyhole surgery and subsequently I have happily experienced no problems at all. I now have scarcely any external traces at all of the operation and have been enjoying full mobility with no discomfort whatsoever. I am extremely grateful to Mr Ramus for his excellent surgical work.
