Reviews
I thought that Doctor Butcher was the consumate professional. He built good inner-personal rapport with me, demonstrated that he understood my concerns and then addressed them in language that I could understand. He kept me fully informed at every step of the process, explained the risks clearly and tested that I had understood them and then made sure that I fully understood what would happen and was happy with the process. He then came in specially to see me the next morning (when he wasn't due to come in) to check that everything was OK. I cannot praise him too highly.
Dr Butcher is an amazing consultant. I have every confidence in his abilities. He puts you at ease, takes time to explain everything clearly and for you to ask questions, very friendly, easy to talk to etc. I would highly recommend him.
Dr Butcher is clearly dedicated about his work . He described the procedure in detail to me and headed an excellent team. He always gives you the opportunity to ask questions and is reassuring
As I said in my earlier comments Dr Butcher was incredibly helpful and explained everything to me very clearly and the whole experience was very positive. Thank you for seeing me so quickly.
