Patient and kind. I felt in great hands.

Dr Roufail was seriously amazing. He kept talking to me throughout the procedure, giving me positive reinforcement and it helped no end – I felt in great hands. Not only that, I was able to ask him questions afterwards (I found him on Instagram and peppered him with questions – he really was very patient and kind). I have no qualms or reservations in recommending Dr Roufail and his team.

A very good bedside manner

Dr Roufail was professional and had a very good bedside manner, he was constantly talking to us throughout the procedure, that helped calming us down. Highly recommend this place and Dr Roufail.
