Mr Sarela was recommended to me by a family member and I'm so pleased they did. From the get go, Mr Sarela has been attentive, kind and understanding of my situation and requirements. He has kept me informed from start to finish of the details I needed to know to make informed decisions about my treatment and been extremely diligent working with my GP and the dietician to ensure effective communication across teams. My surgery was successful, the pre and post care from Mr Sarela and the staff on the ward was exceptional and my recovery to date has been speedy and without complications. I would highly recommend.

Mr Sarela spent time in our consultations answering all my questions and giving me all the available information required to inform my decision about surgery. He made me feel comfortable and at ease during all consultations and on the morning of my operation. The follow up and care has been excellent. I would highly recommend.
