Dr Kar , explained everything in detail and made me feel confident that I was in good hands . I felt nervous about my laparoscopy as I have never had a general anaesthetic before but everything went well . Dr Kar came to see me while I was in recovery to let me how it went and the findings. I had my 6 weeks follow up appointment today Dr Kar went through the surgery in full details, and explained the next steps and recommendations. I would highly recommend Dr Kar .
