In April 2022 Roberto Casula repaired my mitral valve at the Wellington Hospital. Before I was anaesthetised I asked him to be sure to do « some Ferrari engineering in there if you are going into my heart! ». There is hardly a day that goes by when I do not think of him and his 100% successful operation. I will be ever grateful. In November (seven months after the operation), to regain my pilot’s licence, I got through the exercise ECG test (9 minutes to Bruce P rotocol level 4), but the CAA kept me on the ground until April 2023 before finally giving my licence back. To get through the test (I confess I failed it in October) I forced myself to go jogging every day for a month, working up from 1km to 5kms. With determination I succeeded. Later that month I was hiking and climbing looking at glaciers in Patagonia, one day hiking 23 Km and climbing 4000 feet. At the end of the 2023 year, I enjoyed several days of stag hunting on a horse (exhausting stuff!), and a week of testing skiing. In April 2023, I finally got back into the sport I really enjoy - aerobatics. I started off with an instructor just to make sure my heart would tolerate it. Both Mr Casula and Professor Tom Wong, my cardiologist, had said that, after a successful operation, pulling G would be fine from a cardiological point of view. I then did quite a lot of solo aerobatics in the summer of 2023, and I can confirm that both were absolutely right, to my intense delight! No adverse reactions at all from my heart! So I have fully regained my former lifestyle, for which I am eternally grateful. I am having a lot of fun and am in excellent health – at 73 years old, I seem in much better shape than most of my friends and contemporaries. All thanks to a remarkably successful minimally invasive operation. It was truly a great « Ferrari job »!

A Pioneer in his field of surgery

Excellent experience. Mr Scarci is fantastic sergeant very skilful and trustworthy.

Mr Billie is a genuine person who shows an amazing passion for his work and his patients wellbeing, from the moment I was introduced to Mr Billie I felt at ease. He takes time to listen to his patients and he fully explains all procedures in layman's terms which helps keep you at ease. Mr Billie visited me most days post operation, sometimes twice a day. His passion for his work shines through and is reassuring for any patient, this passion is clearly infectious to those that work with or alongside him and he is a true professional in all aspects. If Mr Billie is recommended to you, then grab the opportunity with both hands!

An excellent surgeon!

Miss May Al-Sahaf is quite simply the best Doctor I have ever had the pleasure of being treated by. Not only is she kind, understanding and an incredible surgeon but she goes above and beyond for her patients. Myself and my entire family felt so confident and she put us at ease. I felt like I was in safe hands the entire time I was treated by Miss May and I can’t thank her enough!

Mr Roberts was at all times calm and reassuring. I felt completely safe and confident in his hands. His explanations were very clear.

I feel very privileged to have been cared for by Mr Hunt & his team. From our first meeting he made me feel that I was a person rather than just a patient, ensuring I understood all that he said & inviting questions. He is an exceedingly courteous man with a warm, modest & caring manner. He came to see me in the hospital ward the day after my operation to reassure me that all had gone well. I have much to thank him for.
