Mr Jean Deguara 2019-03-19 Person 5 5 0

After many years of pain I consulted Mr Jean Deguara in Kingston who was able after many tests including scans, and a barium meal, to diagnose the reason for all my pain and discomfort and inability to swallow food as being an extremely large hiatus hernia which was seriously affecting my life. Mr Deguara spent a great deal of time explaining to me that not only did I need surgery, but that it would be a major operation, lasting around 4.5 hours and all that it entailed, answered all my questions clearly and concisely so that there was nothing I did not understand after my consultation. It was arranged that I should attend Kingston Hospital at the earliest date for the operation, which was in about 4 weeks time and I was admitted on the 25th January 2019 The Operation took place as arranged and was completely successful, and I was taken to Isabella Ward for my recovery where I was very well looked after until my discharge 3 days later. Since then and the following 6 weeks I have continued my recovery at home I am now on week 8 and would like to thank everyone in the team, doctors and nurses alike who participated in my operation , especially Mr Deguara for his splendid care and attention.
