Mr Smith was warm and welcoming, able to listen (which sounds simple but you'd be surprised how many can't), discussed the issues and options available, and quickly came up with a plan which I was happy to follow

Absolutely made up that I chose Mr Smith to undertake my operation. A very nice man, knows what he's talking about (which should be a given) but also able to explain it clearly so you can understand yourself. Would recommend to anyone.
