What patients say about Professor Iqbal Shergill
I came to Maelor Hospital on Dec 24th for a template biopsy. Due to past experiences I was feeling apprehensive. Mr Shergill however, went to great lengths to not only ensure I was fully informed with regards to my procedure, but also to liaise with all those involved with my case to make sure all went well. It is with sincere gratitude that I write of Mr Shergill's patience, attention, kindness and professionalism. He is a great credit to both his profession and your hospital. I extend my hearfelt thanks for all he has done for me.
