I have had a very difficult couple of months with acute cholecystitis. I am most grateful to Miss Ceraldi for arranging and completing the surgery, which involved the use of a theatre team for most of the day as the surgery was long and difficult. Miss Ceraldi was always compassionate, and advocated for what was best for me. I can’t thank Miss Ceraldi enough and I look forward to this ordeal being over with, once I’ve recovered. Thank you so much.
