I had a previous procedure which didn’t go well elsewhere but I instantly liked my consultant Mr Abeezar Sarella, he was very informative with telling me everything about this procedure and he was very supportive, made you feel at ease and double checked everything so that my experience was going to be better than my last one. He has continued to support and check up on me whenever possible afterwards and I would highly recommend this gentleman to anyone. A true gent and fabulous bedside manor.

I believe Mr Sarela has given me my life back ,My surgery has been 100% successful. He really is a great Doctor who makes you feel at ease from the first meeting. He listens and cares about you He is thorough and talks to you with respect. Mr Sarela is obviously a very busy man but I know if I needed a question answering or needed to see him he would respond promptly.

This man gave me my life back. He listened, was kind and non judging but always honest. He answered all my questions and made me feel confident in his abilities from the first time that I met him. Always professional and polite. I can't fault his manners or his skills as my doctor. I'm so glad that I chose Mr Sarela to perform my surgery and can't thank him enough
