Before the surgery I watched the Film (three times) to see the procedure. I met with Dr Aadam before and after surgery. He was up to date on my records and knew there was a failure of my prior surgery. He was reassuring that this surgery would work. I also would add that from my first appointment to leaving after surgery I felt I was in competent professional hands. I have never met a kinder crew. And the nurses kept me warm. I would tell anyone this is the best place to be sick at. A big Thank You to all.
