Ms Vijay was professional very clear and honest which I appreciated . I’ve had great results and would highly recommend her.
Excellent surgeon who reassured me and gave me confidence before, during and after the surgery. NHS at its best. Thank you.
From the first consultation I was put at ease, Ms Vijay was knowledgeable and genuinely kind, from then until the surgery I was kept updated and went into the procedure knowing I was in good hands, aftercare was also very good and having now fully healed I can not recommend enough.
Very personable and happy to answer questions. Very clear explanation pre and post operative.
