I originally attended this hospital for investigations into my Atrial Fibrillation, which I only became aware of in 2000 when I was 67 years of age. After 6 days of intensive research and every conceivable test possible, they advised me that the possible short term gain of reverting back into regular sinus rhythm could not be sustained and the risks outweighed any possible short-term gain. I appreciated their honesty and the fact that their decision was for my benefit and to their financial loss.

Because I had seen the professionalism and dedication of all the Medical and Nursing Staff, I had the confidence to request consultations with the Urinary and Vascular Surgeons, who agreed to resolve my Urinary/Prostate problems also to strip the varicose veins from my right leg. These procedures were carried out simultaneously and excellent aftercare in the ICU. During these procedures the Cardiac Consultation/Surgeon was on call, should there have been any remote problem arising. Having felt no pain at all during or after surgery, stimulated me to have my hip x rayed, the outcome was that it had completely calcified over the years and should be operated on at a later date.

With less than 6 days to go before I left for the UK, I asked to see the Dental Surgeon, she immediately spent three and a half hours on my mouth, next day impressions were taken, following day checks on the fit of the porcelain teeth produced and finally on the fourth day she adhered the top and bottom sets of tooth on top of the stumps of my old teeth. I could not have received such excellent service from any other hospital throughout the world.

Right from being met at the airport in the early hours of the morning the unmatchable care demonstrated by all the Nursing Staff, the beds being changed and the suite being cleaned daily by the boys, the friendliness approachability of the consultants and doctors, makes me unable to praise and thank them all sufficiently. I am prepared to allow anyone to contact me at any time to ask me questions about the events during my 20-day stay with them. My wife slept in the same suite as myself, which facility is available to husbands or wives, partners, relations etc so that the patient has support from a loved one. In closing the charges made were unmatchable in the UK or throughout Europe. I assume this applies generally worldwide. We made friends there.
