From start to finish Mr Windhaber explained fully the procedure I would go through and answered all my questions. He was very professional and stressed I could contact him if I had any concerns, which was reassuring. The service throughout was excellent and I was very pleased with the result.

Rob has excellent patient communication skills. From the outset of my surgery to the aftercare and subsequent further treatments required for a first class result. At all times he was contactable to address any concerns, answered calls and texts promptly. The whole service was superb and I highly recommend Rob and his team at the Duchy Hospital.
