After completing the surgery, the doctor was very interested in my healthcare and kept emphasizing the correct use of medications given.

As for the work team, they were very cooperative, and in terms of the results, it was of a great success.

12/05/2019 Alya   ( full name withheld to respect  privacy and  confidentiality )

I was worried about the surgery because I look that some of the side effects associated with the operation for similar cases to mine. Dr Thomas assured me about the process with confidence that he has done of many such cases with little problems. What I really admired though is that his assurance did not sugarcoat how big the surgery wars .He told me and inform me clearly about the possible risks even though the possibilities of them might be little . I would also like to thank the doctor for all the time he gave for all of my enquiries and not pressuring me to do the operation when I was hesitating along the way but allowed me the time to think and decide for myself. The operation and the days following them were surely hard but went quite fast and with the little trouble compared to what I have extensively read on the Internet .I’m sure this goes to all the planning Dr Thomas have done and he has done a great job of that and give me important pieces of advice along with his nurse on how to tackle the hard days and get better as soon as possible .Dr Thomas also gave me his personal phone number for all the enquiries I had during his personal time and I was sure to use that I would also like to thank all the doctors in his team Dr Jomy Dr Dua also I had little direct interactions with them . I’m sure they had more work behind the scenes .

A lot of doctors could learn on how a simple smile could go for a patient post surgery and during recovery.

Chin and jaw correction

Dr Thomas is exceptional surgeon.
I had double jaw and chin surgery done before. Chin and part of lower jaw bone required another correction.
Dr Thomas has done immaculate job to correct and align chin and re-shape partly lower jaw to gain simetry. He has done brilliant estetical correction , together with minimal swelling and bruising .
I would recommend him for being very dedicated to each of his patients, as well as being very accommodating and approachable.
My sincere regards!
