Dr Moussa was very professional and explained everything before the operation in a clear an concise manner. He made me feel at ease (he also has a good sense of humour which helps making a preoperative situation less stressful). I had horrendous reflux (that bad that on some occasions stomach acid litterly exploded out of my mouth!) Dr Moussa has done a fantastic job! (My pain has gone from the hernia and I no longer need to take medication as the reflux has completely gone. Thank you Dr Moussa! You guys (The Doctors and medical staff!) need more appreciation for the great work you do instead of the mass amount of useless pen pushers and idiot overpaid directors which of whom most no little about the medical and are just sucking the funding out of the NHS. Thumbs up for the real hero's! (The Doctors and medical staff!)
