I feel I was in very capable hands
My biggest worry was the recovery process, but everything has been managed so well. The surgeon and staff were incredibly supportive and professional throughout. My laparoscopic procedure went smoothly, leaving me with fewer than ten sutures, and I can see my incision is already healing perfectly. Of course, I’m still very tired, and daily activities like bending or lifting are the main challenge for now, which is to be expected. I feel I was in very capable hands. Based on the care I received, I would definitely suggest this clinic to anyone.
I was helped from start to finish with ongoing, clear communication. I felt safe and in good hands throughout the process.
The only comment would be that the nursing staff didn’t all speak English so having a good introductory knowledge of Spanish was necessary.
