I was referred to Chris mistakenly by my insurance provider and although he couldn’t help me with my specific surgery he talked me through the type of surgery I’d likely need and referred me to two of his highly recommended colleagues that did specialise in the area. I was able to book directly with them, without the pain of dealing with my insurance providers who’ve been passing me around to doctors for over a month. He helped me in one call. I’m extremely grateful to him, plus he was delightful. Thank you Chris!

I had an excellent and most thorough consultation with Mr Abela. He was very helpful, kind and explained things to me clearly. I left the appointment feeling informed and confident of the outcome.

Chris & Team did an excellent job in treating me with some surgery on my face. Excellent communication from the outset and very reassuring on the day. I was also very pleased with the follow up appointment and advice. Thanks to everyone in the team that helped.

I fully recommend Chris. He was kind, considerate and very clear in how he explained things. The operation and subsequent treatment completely resolved my problem and he was always very reassuring.
