Mr Tonsi listened to all my concerns and explained everything clearly. He put me at ease and made me feel better able to cope with my anxieties. I have been dealing with this issue for over 2 years and I felt reassured that he would be able to help. I had a large perianal abcess and fistula which needed treatment.

Thank you very much for your kind words. I’m really pleased to hear that you felt listened to and reassured during your consultation. Dealing with a perianal abscess and fistula over a long period can be both physically and emotionally challenging, so it’s important to us that patients feel supported, informed, and at ease throughout their care. I’m glad we were able to help you better understand your condition and the treatment options available. We will continue to work together to achieve the best possible outcome for you.
Very professional and friendly. Fully kept up to date in a relaxed manner. Procedure was excellent in its performance.

Thank you very much for your kind feedback. I believe that good surgical care is not only about the technical side of the procedure, but also about ensuring patients feel informed, reassured, and supported throughout their journey. I always aim to explain things clearly and in a relaxed manner so that patients feel comfortable and confident in their care. I am delighted that you were pleased with the procedure and your overall experience.
I cannot praise Mr Tonsi enough. He was kind and caring and went the extra mile to help me. I had been badly let down by my previous consultant who cancelled my operation at the last minute.and he discussed a number of options available to me. He took the time to refer me on to other consultants and showed real concern for my well being. Mr Tonsi and his lovely PA are a pleasure to deal with and you feel they are really in your corner.

Thank you very much for your kind words. I strongly believe that every patient is different, and that the best outcomes come from tailoring both the surgical technique and the overall treatment approach to the individual patient rather than applying a “one size fits all” strategy. There are often several possible options available, and it is important that patients are fully informed and supported in choosing the approach that best fits their condition, lifestyle, and expectations. It was a pleasure to help you, and I am very grateful for your trust and appreciation. I will also pass your lovely comments on to my PA, who works incredibly hard to support our patients throughout their journey.

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.
