The first day I met Dr. Ian hunt, my anxiety dropped significantly, I felt a weight off my shoulders as he explained the procedures with great confidence in his work, which gave me comfort during a discussion about a significant operation. Dr. Hunt from what I have experienced has a passion and love for his work, this shows through in the way he speaks and explains procedures.
A combination of all of this has given me a significantly greater quality of life, and I owe it all to Dr. Ian hunt and the NHS, I have a significant appreciation for this life changing experience I've been given.
