Patient reviews

Miss Cope was a breath of fresh air after what had been the toughest week of my life. Nurse Cathy was unbelievably good too. And between them I now have the clarity needed and direction for what I hope will be a good outcome. They were precise with the next steps and explaining medical jargon in “normal” language Thank you

I am deeply grateful to Ms Kate Williams for her outstanding care and surgical expertise. She performed my fistulotomy for a low fistula tract with exceptional skill and attention to detail. Her clear explanation of the procedure and operative findings gave me full confidence in the treatment plan. The result has been life-changing, my long-standing pain has resolved completely, my bowel function is normal, and I have experienced no further discharge or complications.

I was having a really bad time coming round from the general anaesthetic (scared me a bit to be honest) but Jihene really cared for me, helping as much as she could to stop the sickness, eased my worries, made me as relaxed as I could be, listened to me and made what was an awful situation as good as it could be. Her care for me was outstanding and id really like her to be recognised for this. Once again, thank you all so much.

Miss Alexandra Cope is a wonderful person with great communication skills and is simply the best surgeon you could wish for she operated on me for 13 hours and every thing went well you’re certainly blessed to have such a wonderful person working hard for you and may I say I will be eternally grateful to Miss Cope for the rest of my life she saved my life that’s for sure.

Katherine is by far one of the doctors I trust most and has supported me throughout one of the most difficult periods of my life. I am immensely grateful for the effort she has put in for me.

Ms El Kafsi is the only consultant in the past 7 years or so that has actually made a difference to my quality of life!!! She listened to me & arranged procedures for me that I’d never had before. She has been absolutely amazing. I feel like she really wants to help me and make a difference. I’m so happy that she is now my consultant. Honestly I cannot tell you how she has transformed my life. She is such a fabulous consultant.

Promptly seen. Everything explained on the day and the follow up letter after the Ct Colonography was clear and put my mind at rest. I could not have expected anything better. Many thanks.

What can I say, Kate is amazing from the first moment I met her, I just knew I was in great hands. from the warm smile as I arrived at Theatre, to her caring check ups while recovering from said surgery. I have improved So much! and am now awaiting the second- hopefully final surgery, which I will happily await for Kate's availability. I just wouldn't feel comfortable with anyone else, now. so a massive thank you for all you do, you have given me my life back and my daughters mummy back. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Able to explain exactly what my treatment would entail. Clear communication.

Miss Williams was professional, easy, informative and calm while managing to be genial I am almost looking forward to her operating on me.

Thank you very much for performing the open heamorroidectomy on me just before Christmas. The whole experience was good with a very positive outcome. You and your medical team were excellent and the hospital staff caring and efficient. The first two weeks after op. I slept a lot until swelling had subsided. The next two weeks found a morning glass of Fybogel very helpful. Six weeks back to normal, hooray!

Jihene has been lovely to work with and was very informative at every stage of my gallbladder removal. She answered all of my questions and put me completely at ease. I would 100% recommend her to anyone!
