Explanation

Mr Chris Abela was recommended to me by my dermatologist for an out patient procedure on my left leg which needed attention. He was very kind, highly efficient and professional throughout the consultation process and the procedure, and explained everything very clearly. The result is excellent and the scar is hardly visible, so I could not recommend him more highly. I feel fortunate to have been introduced to him and will always defer to him if a similar situation occurs that needs treatment. With very grateful thanks.

Explanation

Dr Abela was fantastic at every step of the procedure with our daughter. He explained clearly what would happen prior to the date of her appointment, on the day made us feel calm and at ease (not easy when you’re handing your baby over to an operating team!) and provided helpful advice at her follow up appointment. Dr Abela’s secretary, Natalie, was also fantastic. She communicated what was happening so we knew where we were at all times.
