The Winfield is a great hospital, everyone there was helpful and kind. Rooms and facilities were comfortable and clean.

Dr Okechukwu Okonkwo was brilliant! He explained everything in detail but in a way that was completely understandable by an Individual who is not in the medical field. Polite, professional but most of personable. He’s a credit to the profession.

Mr Okechuku was efficient and fantastic. My tonsillectomy only took 20 odd minutes to complete, all the staff were super professional, polite and caring. The after care was fantastic and all staff came and checked up on my regularly after the operation. I would highly recommend Mr Okechukwu Okonkwo to anyone.
