"I couldn't have asked for better care before and after my surgery. Professor Whitaker, was highly recommended to me and made me feel confident in my decision. Claire-Louise Ware, my anaesthetist, was kind and supportive, and Katie and Trish, my nurses, were outstanding. I’m so grateful to the entire Cadogan team for their exceptional care. Thank you!"Cadogan Clinic Patient
