In December 2023 I had a large neck lipoma removed in Antrim Area Hospital under the care of Mr Marcel Valko. From my initial consultation with Mr Valko, the diagnostic investigation, the operation and recovery, I found him totally helpful and approachable, answering any questions I had in a way that was informative and reassuring. I felt that Mr Valko's interest in my case was evidenced by his telephone call to me the evening before my operation, plus the time given to me in hospital before and after the procedure he performed, which left me in no pain and from which I have successfully recovered. During my hospital stay I could clearly tell how highly staff think of Mr Valko, and rightly so. I shall always be very grateful for the professional and reassuring care I received under his care.
Dr Valko is a true gentleman who takes time to listen, alleviate any fears and who has a calming demeanour which puts you at ease and makes you feel confident in his abilities as a Doctor and surgeon.
From initial consultation through surgery Mr. Valko instilled complete confidence and has a comforting demeanour throughout. Truly professional.
Dr Valko is a rare diamond in the field of medicine and ENT. He has shown me nothing but the utmost respect during his time looking after me. He is extremely calm, and has an incredibly gentle nature that immediately puts me at ease. He is a person who it`s obvious has a wealth of knowledge and experience, but also shows huge respect to the feelings of whoever he is looking after. I feel very lucky to have him as my consultant.
Mr Valko's calm, contained manner inspires trust and confidence. I never felt rushed in any dealings with him and he gave clear answers to my queries. I had a thyroid operation in January 2020 and, from the moment I met Mr Valko in 2019, I had no doubts at any stage about the level of skill or quality of care that would be afforded me from the whole team. And so it proved to be.
