Dr Grahovac explained things honestly and clearly prior to surgery and post surgery. It has been relatively easy to book follow up appointments. Having serious surgery is never a pleasant experience but I can not fault Dr Grahovac and thank him for his care.

There’s not enough words to express how grateful I am to Mr Grahavoc & Dr Carlton-Jones. I had spontaneous intercranial hypotension secondary to a CSF leak. Their care & amazing work means I can say I am cured & I have a quality of life back, I can now look forward to my future.
