Mr Erlick Pereira 2022-11-04 Person 4 5 0

I had a stroke in 2021 and was admitted to St George's Hospital for urgent brain surgery because my brain was swelling. I had part of my skull removed to relieve the swelling and they saved this bone and stored it in my body in the tummy area. After 4 months I had a cranioplasty operation with Mr Pereira to reinstate the bone. This was partially for cosmetic reasons (to improve the shape of my head) but mostly for protection for my brain. Mr Pereira gave me a video consultation pre operation where I asked lots of questions. After that consultation I had confidence in Mr Pereira as he had answered all our questions well and it was easy to understand what would happen. He also was honest about any complications which could arise. I was extremely nervous about the operation but felt like I was in good hands with Mr Pereira and his team. The operation was a success with no complications and I was discharged within approx. A week. I have had a follow up consultation with Mr Pereira where he confirmed that everything had healed nicely and I have therefore been discharged from his care. Ibwould have hesitation in recommending him as he is responsive to his patients concerns and questions and appears to have a lot of experience in Neuro surgery.
