Procedure explained very clearly and time to ask any questions given. At each stage of the gastroscopy I was spoken to and told what to expect by my surgeon. There was a clear plan of treatment afterwards and I left feeling well informed. A highly professional Surgeon who I would definitely recommend to others.
