Mr Arshad removed my Gall Bladder in what was a very complex case. I was so impressed with his both professional and compassionate manor. He visited me whilst in the recovery room and again the next morning to provide a detailed explanation as to how the operation went. Due to his extensive experience my recovery time was kept to a minimum. I would highly recommend to anyone that needs this procedure.
