Mr Alan James put me at my ease when visiting his clinic and when I was admitted for surgery. He explained thoroughly the procedure which was to be carried out and made me feel relaxed and not as worried as I was expecting to be. The operation went well and the keyhole surgery meant I had very small wounds which healed quickly, with no problems. He was very welcoming when attending the follow-up clinic and checked everything was healing well. I would thoroughly recommend Mr James as a caring and professional surgeon.
Mr James was polite and friendly and put me at ease about having surgery. He took the time to answer all of my questions and ensured I was happy with what was planned. I felt very safe in his care.
I recently had a laparoscopic procedure to remove my gallbladder. Mr James was fantastic throughout the entire process, very informative and knowledgeable. The procedure went very well, I was able to go home the same day and have made a good recovery. I would highly recommend Mr James to anyone needing the same procedure.
