Very efficient procedure from start to finish, all expectations were clearly explained beforehand and outcomes were as expected on the day of the procedure.
Dr Bell went through everything that happened in surgery. Explained to me what he did to get the best outcome for me. Together we were both happy with my progress so far. Dr Bell has given me a follow up for a year's time.
From start to finish I have been treated with such care and professionalism. Mr Bell and his team kept me fully informed of the process.
