Cannot fault Dr Tonsi whatsoever. I had both Umbilical Hernia repair surgery and a Colonoscopy under his care - cannot praise it highly enough. Thank you Dr Tonsi
Thank you very much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. I am delighted to hear that you were happy with the care you received. Providing safe, high-quality care and ensuring patients feel comfortable and reassured throughout their treatment is always my priority. I truly appreciate your trust and positive feedback.
I needed two operations to fix a bowel/bladder issue and although complex and daunting as a patient, Mr Tonsi made me feel much more at ease, with straightforward explanations and I felt fully supported with each phase of the surgeries and recovery. He was available to talk to when I had concerns, relayed through his excellent and kind PA Romina. Together they make an outstanding and caring team and I highly recommend Mr Tonsi for anyone looking for a surgeon in this field.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and generous review. I am particularly pleased that you felt reassured and supported throughout your treatment and recovery.

I will certainly share your kind words with Romina, whose dedication and compassion are invaluable to our team. Thank you again for placing your trust in us. Your feedback means a great deal to both of us.
Professional, very knowledgeble and always reassuring. I feel I’m in the safest of hands
Thank you very much for your kind words. I am delighted to hear that you felt reassured and confident in the care you received. Making patients feel safe, listened to and well supported is always one of my main priorities. I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
Alfredo inspired confidence. He was calm and efficient with a gentle manner. My colonoscopy was more challenging than average, taking twice as long too, due to scar tissue etc from a previous op. I'm grateful that Alfredo was nonetheless able to get to see clearly right to the end of the colon. I knew about the risk of damaging the wall of the bowel and I was anxious about this as I already have a urostomy and didn't want to be a double bagger! I am grateful that Alfredo was able to do the procedure without damaging my bowel/colon. A skilled doctor!
Thank you very much for your kind and thoughtful review. I am very pleased that I was able to make you feel at ease and complete the procedure safely despite the technical challenges. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and wish you all the very best.

Mr Alfredo Tonsi
Hello, my name is Mr Alfredo Tonsi, and I am a Consultant Colorectal and General Surgeon. I specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the colon, rectum and abdominal wall, with particular expertise in colorectal cancer, abdominal wall hernias, colonoscopy, and proctology. My practice focuses on modern minimally invasive treatments, aiming to provide the best possible outcomes while supporting a faster and more comfortable recovery. I perform colonoscopy to investigate symptoms such as bleeding or changes in bowel habit, allowing early diagnosis of conditions including polyps, inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer. I also treat proctological conditions such as anal fistula, haemorrhoids, fissures and pilonidal disease, as well as inguinal, umbilical and complex abdominal wall hernias. My approach is centred on clear communication and personalised care, ensuring that patients feel informed and confident throughout their treatment. Thank you for watching.
