I was very apprehensive but needn’t have been. Had both hands done with no problems. Everything was explained really well and Mr Bhat was really patient

Dr Bhat was understanding, helpful and explained everything in detail. He answered all our questions so we understood. He talked to my 12 year daughter so she understood what was happening to. He was flexible in appointment times.Thank you

A quick and confident diagnosis. Kind and respectful on the day of the operation. Clear on aftercare and follow ups.The team (doctor and 2 nurses) were clearly happy working with each other as there was a very friendly and caring atmosphere which made me feel as comfortable and as relaxed as possible.
