As the husband of Mr Yassa’s patient, I have been impressed by his caring and thoroughly professional approach. He afforded his patient the time to consider her experience and allowed plenty of time for questions. I couldn’t rate my experience of his manner and approach highly enough. Thank you.

Mr Yassa completed surgery on my daughter (then 16yo), completed ACL and meniscus repair. My daughter was playing competitive football and GB NFL, prior to injury and had given up hope of becoming professional. Mr Yassa completed surgery, fast forward a year of intensive rehab and she is currently back playing football. I cannot fault TGH or Mr Yassa, they have given my daughter hope again for something that she had mentally given up on achieving. I would highly recommend Mr Yassa
