I had confidence in Mr Sarela from the initial consultation. He was already recommended by someone I knew but he has a lovely attitude. He clearly went through all my options, gave me additional signposting to enable me to make a decision and I had no worries about proceeding with the operation. He is very clear with information given from prior to surgery, how surgery will work, what I can expect with aftercare.
I have thrived since the operation, it has made such a difference as well as having little to no side effects.

Mr Sarela is a fantastic surgeon and explained all of my options fully. He really put me at ease and answered all of my questions in a way that I could easily understand.
I went to my initial consultation very confused and left able to make an informed decision about the best course of action for me. The results I have experienced have been phenomenal and my body is still changing for the better.

I had a consultation with Mr Sarela in May. He explained all my options carefully and suggested I go away and think long and hard about what i wanted to do. after careful consideration I booked my laparoscopic gastric sleeve surgery for July. There was no hard sell and Mr Sarela was clear and informative when asking questions. My Surgery went ahead without any complications and I have recovered very well. Just had my 6 week post of with Mr Sarela and am doing well. Would absolutely recommend Mr Sarela to others.

Hi, My Name is Louis M.C. Lilley I have a big Iguinal Hernia that is getting worse! My Operation has been cancelled twice in a row.
I can't believe how incompetent they are! They are putting my life at risk. I am now going to have to go to A&E. And see if I have any luck with them. Hopefully they my might be able to do my Operation on the same day that I report to them, how bad My Iguinal Hernia is getting! My Iguinal Hernia needs to get fixed before it goes into strangulation, which would be life threatening, leading to my death.
