Explanation

Professor Paleri is exactly what a patient wants in a specialist. He is obviously an outstanding practitioner - that is apparent from the first moment we spoke. He instilled confidence, was crystal clear in his explanation which was never patronising or simplistic but was entirely intelligible. His examination was crisp and efficient and his further opinion after that was expressed with great clarity and force. He treated me as a person and not just a patient and knowing my job as a lawyer we even had time for him to ask my views on the US Supreme Court! He is a great man and I would like him to know I said this. Best wishes Richard Lissack

Explanation

I am an overseas patient and recently came to London for my surgery with Professor Paleri. The surgery and post -surgery recovery were difficult BUT I constantly felt that I was in the safest hands in the world! The Professor always made time to answer all my questions and worries and was exceptional and very professional in every way.
