I was quite nervous about my appointment but Mr Munson was lovely, he was very professional and I soon felt at ease, he explained everything in detail. I feel very confident in having my surgery.
Mr Munson was very approachable, kind and professional and made me feel at ease straight away. He gave me options, advice and allowed me time to make the right decision for myself. A great experience and would highly recommend.
Really informative consultation, Mr Munson is very knowledgeable and made me feel totally at ease.
Usual nightmare parking! Staff all helpful and friendly. Mr Munson very punctual, clear and concise. He put me at ease and explained everything thoroughly. All in all a very favourable experience.
I just wanted to share a sincere thank you on behalf of both myself and our entire family. I hardly know where to begin, but what I do know is that my mum wouldn’t be where she is today if it weren’t for meeting you. You’ve given her a level of confidence I never thought possible following her diagnosis of breast cancer and facing a mastectomy. What you’ve achieved for her is something I couldn’t have imagined at the start of this year. I truly believe in luck, and we were incredibly lucky the day we first met you in clinic. From that very first meeting, you were able to put my mum at ease and offer her a surgery that has led to her being where she is today—cancer-free and feeling confident in her body once again. Throughout this journey, you have treated my mum with such kindness, compassion, and dignity. Even though the surgery was complex and high-risk, she always felt safe and reassured in your care. I will always be especially grateful for the way you went above and beyond after her procedure. It was a long and stressful day, but you still took the time to speak with both my father and me. Your thoughtful communication meant the world to us. We feel very fortunate to have had you with us on this journey. Any patient going through the difficult path that breast cancer presents would be incredibly lucky to have you as their surgeon. Thank you for everything. I am also happy for you to use this as patient/relative feedback. Often the praise and compliments go unnoticed, which is such a shame. I truly believe that what you are doing for patients like my mum deserves to b...
