Overall Tom did a great job. The process was smooth and I was kept well informed about what to expect. So far the healing has also gone well and I am mostly back to normal (it’s about 10 weeks since my operation).

Overall a brilliant experience. There was a mistake made with the timings however. I was checked in at 7:30am and my procedure was not until around 2:00. So I’ve dropped one point for that.
