I was under the care of Mr Challand for my recent bowel cancer surgery and was very pleased with the treatment I received. He performed my laparoscopic anterior resection and I found him professional, straightforward and easy to communicate with throughout. He explained the procedure clearly, answered all my questions in an understandable way, and this gave me considerable confidence in the treatment being proposed. The surgery went well and my recovery has been very positive so far. I particularly appreciated his calm, matter of fact and reassuring approach.
