I thought Chris was a very approachable and honest doctor. I had great results with the surgery and would highly reccomend him.

Mr Abela was extremely approachable, friendly and professional. He seemed so caring in my treatment, only discharging me when I was happy to be discharged, not when he thought I should be.
At no point was I confused about the procedure to take place, having it describe/ explained in simple terms, so that anyone could understand it and always with a smile (I never saw him without one).
He remained cheerful and friendly all the way through my treatment, including before the procedures, on both days in surgery and post procedure appointments.
I would hope I would never need his services and skills again, but should I need anything done, I would whole heartedly hope that I could call upon him/ be referred to him again.
I hope that he continues to work in the same area for a long time, so that should I need his skills, he is there.

He was able to operate a week after my basal cell carcinoma was removed leaving a deep hole on my nose.
He explained clearly what he was going to do (and what he couldn't do).
He answered all my questions.

Mr. Abela brings not only knowledge of the subject matter and procedures, but a method of application which is patient oriented. He listens, and he informs. Clearly. One of the best doctors I have seen in the NHS.

Although this was a follow appointment, to a steroid injection, Mr Abela's attention to detail and reassurance, was impeccable. On the three occasions I have had contact with him, he has come across as genuine and someone who has time for you as a patient. I would highly recommend him.
