Staff lovely, clear a concise with what was to happen, results and advice throughout.
I recently had my gallbladder removed due to constant pain, and I also had an umbilical hernia repaired at the same time. Mr. Bhandari was very reassuring and explained the whole process clearly. I was very satisfied with my surgery and the care I received.
Mr Bhandari was extremely knowledgeable and took time to explain everything clearly, including the initial consultation, the procedure itself and post-operative review. His professionalism and thorough approach gave me great confidence throughout the process.
Very straightforward and efficient. Some people will prefer someone that spends more time explaining but sure he would have done if I had asked more questions. Good job of the (Laparoscopic Hernia repair) surgery and recovery better than I had expected.
Very pleasant consultation, clear and concise and opportunity to ask questions. Thank you.
Mr Bhandari explained things really well and put me at ease.
My recent visit to the Fitzwilliam under Mr mandarin was my 8 week post surgery follow up
It was above expectations, clear communication, thorough explanation of investigation and findings. Followed by sound advice and guidance
I am very happy with the surgery performed by the doctor. Everything has healed very well, I feel very good, and I had no complications or problems after the operation. I was also very happy with my stay at the hospital. The care was excellent, and all the staff were very kind, friendly and helpful. I highly recommend the doctor and the whole team. I am very happy with the care I received.
