I would like to Thank all the staff on st patricks ward for the care I received but a big thank you to the two members of staff that the care they provided was second to none .Nothing was to much trouble, so friendly, caring .Salmon the qualified nurse and Andrea the HCA. They are a credit to you thank you once again.
Mr Chris Thomas is the best surgeon a person could wish for. He explains all aspects of your injury and the required follow up procedure in clear precise terms. All concerns were queried one to one with Chris via email. Response was swift and informative. Surgery experience was relaxed and a pleasure knowing that all my concerns were taken on board and acted on. The whole experience was first class, and the outcome has been life changing. I am now back mountain biking and enjoying life pain free for the first time in over a decade. All this after only 11 weeks post op. I cannot rate Chris Thomas highly enough. Communication and competence goes above and beyond any other surgical experience I have encountered.
Thank you for these kind words. I am delighted to hear that you are back on the bike!
Mr Thomas made me feel very relaxed. He simplified all of the information for me which really helped.I had complete confidence in him. The care he gave me was amazing.
Thank you. I endeavour to make the process as accessible and relatable as possible.
As I previously said my stay at St Joseph's was excellent Mr Thomas was extremely positive and efficient He told me exactly what would happen and after surgery he came to see I was alright
