I am so grateful for the care and support carried out today by Dr McAlister and her team today at the Ulster hospital for my 5 year old son’s emergency plastic surgery appointment to his forehead.
On arrival we met two lovely nurses who made my son feel at ease. Dr McAlister was fantastic and she was able to avoid my son needing a GA. I am forever grateful to her and her specialised skill set and are hopeful that his scar will only add character to his handsome face. Very neat and precise. Thank you!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write these lovely words. I am delighted you and your son had a positive experience in our trauma clinic. I will ensure this is passed on to all who were involved. I wish your son well in his recovery.
