From the start I found Mr Sarela patient, professional and friendly. He explained everything in detail and put me at ease.
The surgery he performed went as expected and I am thrilled with the results.
I would highly recommend seeing this Dr and so glad I made the decision to have my surgery
Struggled to find fault with any part of my surgery journey as it has a smooth journey throughout

I went to see Mr Sarela in September 2018 and straight away I was put at ease by him.All my questions were listened to and answered in an honest way and he answered all the questions that my husband had to ask him.He explained in great detail the options I had to choose from and helped me choose the right operation for me.He gave me time to think about what I wanted to ask without me feeling rushed and made ever question I asked important no matter how silly it sounded.
The after care that I have received from Mr sarela has been brilliant,every follow up appointment has been full of nothing but positive comments from him and he gives encouragement to get the best that you can from the operation.

Mr Sarela took great care to listen and take a comprehensive history before discussing the options and possible best treatment option for me, he explained the risks and benefits in detail and provided me enough time to consider the next steps prior to arranging an appointment for treatment. The outcome was fantastic and as detailed by Mr Sarela and I am most grateful for his help in getting me back on track.
