Words can not describe how thankful I am that I chose to fly from Australia to South Africa to have my life-changing surgery. I now have a perfect tummy!! You and your team made me feel I was in great hands through the whole process. Thank you for all the kindness that you and your office staff showed me through all the long-distance calls and numerous emails, even the follow-up visits after my surgery. You are a great team and made the whole process very special. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

A year ago you patched up Nina and the result is really very good! We as a practice were very appreciative of your service to our patients. We like it that you write reports – 5 stars for that and our patients are always happy. That says a lot these days.
