Dr. Khazali was exceptional in the health service provided. I felt he and his service brought a personal touch to my care that made me feel supported, understood and now living a more complete and robust life. I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis and it dramatically reduced the quality of my life. I was always in pain, could barely sleep due to pain on several pain meds which only worked for 2 weeks max but once my system got used to it, the pain was difficil to contain. I had a laparoscopy in Kingston hospital but they decided not to take out the endometriosis because it was in a delicate location and felt they didnt have the expertise. I was closed back up and referred to Dr. Khazali. Both surgeon who operated did say Dr. Khazali was by far better suited in taking out the endometriosis because it was too advanced. The wait to be referred to Dr. Khazali was a nightmare but knowing how the NHS works, the referral takes forever. I am under the impression the better the specialist surgeon the more he is in demand, hence the nightmare to get referred Prior to my initial appointment, I did an extensive research on Dr. Khazali, so I felt I was in good hands. After reviewing my case and examining me, he knew exactly what was wrong. Noting I have spent several years living in extreme pain, It was a relief to have someone tell me exactly what was wrong. On the day of the surgery, Dr. Khazali and 2 other surgeons discussed with me the procedure in detail. This provided me with assurance that my care was in safe hands. My surgery was successful and I am now able to life a more fully life, one free of overwhelming pain. It improved the functionality of my systems and exceedingly grateful to Dr. Khazali and staff in St. Peter's hospital
