Very happy with the care provided by Professor Frampton. He clearly explained all the pros and cons of the surgery prior, he carried out the surgery successfully, and followed up several times to ensure all was well. Communication was easy and fast via his helpful secretary.

Professor Frampton removed my gallbladder and I have no hesitation in recommending him based on my experience under his care. I felt informed, supported and well cared for throughout the whole procedure by both Prof Frampton and Sarah Norcliffe his secretary. I really appreciated the fact the Prof Frampton called me at home several times to check how I was. The operation was a success and I am grateful that I had him in my corner.

Professor Frampton made me feel very comfortable and at ease prior to my surgery as I was quite nervous. I’m very pleased with my results. The aftercare I received from Professor Frampton was excellent and had very quick responses when I was concerned during recovery. I would highly recommend Professor Frampton to everyone!

I wholeheartedly recommend Professor Adam Frampton based on my exceptional experience under his care. From my initial contact with his exemplary PA, Sarah Norcliffe, to the thorough explanations during my consultations, I felt reassured and well-informed every step of the way. Professor Frampton's expertise, compassionate care, and attention to detail made a significant difference in my treatment journey. Prior to my surgery, Professor Frampton demonstrated his commitment to my well-being by requesting additional imaging to ensure the most precise surgical strategy. This thorough approach minimized risks and maximized the likelihood of a successful outcome, which was especially comforting given my anxiety and additional medical concerns. During the complex laparoscopic procedure to remove my gallbladder and large benign cystic lesion on my liver, Professor Frampton's surgical mastery was evident as he navigated unexpected challenges with confidence and skill. His use of advanced techniques, such as "gluing" incision sites, minimized post-operative complications, leading to a smoother recovery process. I am incredibly grateful for the relief I've experienced under Professor Frampton's care. The alleviation of pain and improved mobility have been life-changing, and I am delighted with the result of my surgery. His genuine compassion and dedication to my well-being extended beyond the operating room, as he personally visited me in the hospital and took the time to reassure my husband, even checking in over the weekend by phone. Having access to a grade A London surgeon like Professor Frampton in Guildford has been invaluable, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of surgical expertise. He is truly an expert in his field, but it's his authenticity and genuine care for his patients that make him stand out. If I ever require further surgery in his field of expertise, Professor Frampton would be my first choice without hesitation. My heartfelt thanks extend to Professor Frampton, Dr. Kayur Patel, the outstanding theater and recovery teams, the dedicated nursing staff at Guildford Nuffield, and the cheerful porters who ensured my comfort throughout my journey. Sarah Norcliffe's behind-the-scenes efforts were also instrumental in making my experience truly exceptional. With Professor Frampton and his team, you can trust that you're in the best hands for your surgical needs.

I had my epigastric hernia repair done by Dr Adam Frampton recently. He is an excellent surgeon. From the first consultation itself he was extremely patient and explained the issue and procedure in detail. He also very promptly did follow consultations and checked upon me. The procedure went very smoothly at Nuffield Guildford Hospital and I recovered very quickly. The staff at the hospital were also very caring and the hospital was very clean. His assistant Sarah as well is very patient, prompt and helpful. I was extremely nervous about the procedure before meeting Dr. Adam Frampton. But after the first consultation itself I felt relaxed and confident. Thanks to Dr. Adam Frampton, he is an excellent surgeon. I am extremely grateful that I found such an amazing, expert and efficient surgeon. Thank you so much once again Doctor.

Professor Frampton was amazing from the first appointment through the operation and the after care. I didn’t have any pain and have healed excellently with a very minimal scar. Couldn’t be happier!

Dr Frampton is absolutely amazing. The journey from meeting him for the first consultation to the surgery and then to the follow up was faultless. The diagnosis and then the surgery was carried out professionally, expeditiously and with care. The post-op care was thorough and when I was at home after the surgery, Dr Frampton contacted me over the phone few times to ask me how I was recovering. I thoroughly recommend Dr Frampton.

Professor Frampton provided excellent care in January 2024 when I had my gallbladder removed. He was very clear in his explanations about the procedure and the follow up care was great, calls over the weekend after I had it done to check I was alright. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Professor Frampton to anyone.

Dr Frampton was very pleasant and thorough in his investigation of my problem. All necessary tests were arranged in a timely manner, and he rang me with my results promptly (which currently require no further action). I felt reassured and would definately recommend this doctor.
