Explanation

Really great experience overall. Mr Okonkwo explained everything extremely well and I felt in great hands for my nose operation. Mr Okonkwo was determined to give me a better quality of life through breathability as well as aesthetic improvements both of which are evident even just a week post op. The whole experience at Gloucester was calm and efficient and I was kept assured at all times by the staff.

Reply from Okechukwu Okonkwo

We trialled a medical therapy at your first appointment and a follow up was required to assess its success. Sadly we are unable help every patient but I hope you did find your comprehensive clinical assessment and patient centred management plan informative and a useful guide.
