Mr Alex Leo is extremely professional and attentive. He never leaves anything to chance and listens carefully to my concerns. He has been treating me for almost two years, and I find him to be an excellent person both professionally and on a human level. Also during yesterday’s follow-up, he was very thorough and reassured me that everything is progressing in the best possible way.

Mr Leo was extremely considerate and took time to diagnose and explain my condition and the options for treatment. I appreciated his professional but relaxed manner. Most recently I visited for post operative tests and these were very reassuring.

Mr Leo is a genuine, kind and knowledgeable Surgeon. He took the time to listen to what I had to say, answered all of my questions, and explained to me everything he was doing, in a clear and concise manner. I feel lucky to have Dr Leo and his team in my corner, and I highly recommend him. He made me feel at ease and he makes me feel confident each time I see him. Thankyou Dr Leo.

The surgery carried out by Mr Leo has been transformative for me- I can’t thank him enough! Mr Leo was patient enough to answer all of my questions and the post-surgery care was great too (I saw him twice prior to leaving hospital and he also called me a week later for a further follow-up). Katie, his medical secretary, also deserves a very special thank you for being exceptionally helpful whenever I called or emailed her.

I had severe haemorrhoid problems which had not cleared with over the counter medication or prescribed medication. Mr Leo identified the problem and attempted a banding to avoid intrusive surgery which was not successful and so a haemorrhoidectomy was preformed. There was a follow up as some skin tag and marginal inflammation occurred. Steroid treatment was prescribed and second follow up took place. The haemorrhoids were completely resolved as was the skin tag problem. The area concerned is now better than it has been in my lifetime. On each occasion Mr Leo was excellent in manner and explanation. His advice was based on excellent diagnosis and succinct. He sought to avoid unnecessary treatment and medication, but which in fact proved necessary. He was extremely efficient and speedy without being peremptory. All in all someone I would recommend for any colorectal issues.
