Went to see the above consultant regarding a ct scan I had for my left kidney. Was very worried about the results. Mr Ballaro greeted me pleasantly with a firm handshake, smile and a good morning. We chatted for a few minutes about my health and then he gave me the results of my scan, in a concise way stopping to answer my questions when asked. He fully explained the results in a easy manner which was understandable, no "Dr" talk. He checked with me if there was anything I would like to ask, and I felt that I was treated like a human being who mattered.
Mr Ballaro treated my daughter after she became very poorly with a kidney stone. Although we were very worried he reassured us and performed the much-needed surgery very quickly. Once the surgery was implemented my daughter was able to resume daily activities within a few days and enjoy Christmas. His very thoughtful aftercare has been appreciated.
Could not have wished for better.
Very caring, gave lots of explanation. Visited me before and after my operation personally. i receovered quickly, so must have had great care!
Mr Ballaro preformed surgery on my to remove kidney stones. I can't thank him and his team enough for the care I have received. I was in and out of hospital within one day and was up and mobile within a couple of days. I can only say positive things about my experience with Mr Ballaro, his team and the NHS as a whole.
