TREATMENT

Patient Reviews

Mr Goon has been working on my finger after an accident which resulted in a partial amputation. Through his professionalism and skill, I’ve acquired this part of my finger back as well as the nail which I thought wouldn’t be possible for a short while. I feel grateful to have such an excellent doctor during a time of shock and trauma.
