I felt that a screen should have been used, since there were windows in the room and blinds were open

It was absolutely superb. I can’t think of a single way it could be bettered. Professionalism is one thing but kindness is another…and this hospital had both.

Attended clinic for cyst removal. Dr Onyekwelu explained the process in a clear manner allowing me to make an informed decision about removal. Procedure carried out in a relaxed environment and completed within 30 minutes. Dr Onyekwelu also arranged follow up treatment on an unrelated matter which came up during our initial consultation.
