Doctor Gurjar informed me at all times of what would happen during my procedure. He was extremely helpful and answered all of my questions.

Mr Gurjar was very understanding and reassuring before the operation.
My only improvement is that I would have preferred a little more follow up from him afterwards, and to see him within the first 2-3 weeks post op to check in, otherwise I highly recommend and had a good, swift experience.
