Mr Saavedra takes his patient feedback as seriously as he does the care of his patients. Please see below a patient testimony:
“Mr Saavedra carried out an arthroscopy on my knee in September 2020. I cannot thank him enough for the wonderful care he provided me prior, during and after my surgery. He is caring and compassionate and always makes time for his patients. In the current post-COVID era, any medical procedure has an added level of complexity. Mr Saavedra provided the reassurance I required and his excellent secretary, Nicola, was always available to answer any queries. I am so pleased that my GP recommended Mr Saavedra to me and I wish him every success for the future.”
