Testimonials
Miss Farrugia, I can't compete with either Kate's words or the sentiment behind them but thank you. Thank you for responding so quickly when I contacted your office last June, thank you for allaying Kate and my fears about the procedure and the long term effects and thank you for handling the transition so sensitively but most of all thank you for your shoes - you instantly made a very scared little girl feel safe and secure. J.G Dr. Farrugia, I wanted to say thank you as well. You have been amazing and it was so wonderful and comforting to know Ella was in safe hands with you. Thank you for your expertise and for your lovely bedside manner. You patiently answered all of our questions-even some of my ridiculous ones. I can't believe it was only last week she was in surgery. Other than some constipation that I'm getting sorted out with the GP, she is definitely on the mend and very active. We will never forget how fortunate we were that this all went so well. Hoping she doesn't require any more operations for a very long time. E.F Thank you so much for all you did for Oliver. He is back to his old giggly , cooing self! Once again Monica and myself are eternally grateful for everything that you have done for Oliver (therefore us) you and your team are fantastic.
