Mr Alex Leo immediately set me at ease with his clear and direct explanations alongside a jovial and friendly attitude. He has been absolutely instrumental in helping my complex fistula problem, I could not be more grateful. Everything was done with the utmost care and he always had time for my extensive questions. He is evidently highly skilled and knowledgeable - the personable, honest, and clear communication made my experience even better.

Dr Alex Leo was really reassuring and informational about my hernia on my first consultation, making sure to answer all of my questions. His style was very professional and he even found ways to insert humour making the whole process feel friendly. He nicely presented all the choices (unlikely complications, recovery times, scar types) and even recommended the one that he would honestly pick in my position. This all made me feel more calm and confident in the choice of surgery, which ended up being great and with a smooth recovery and no complications.

I have been delighted with Mr. Leo from the initial consultation and surgery, to the follow up consultation. Mr. Leo has a friendly manner, is sympathetic and explained all aspects of my condition, surgery and what to expect. When I had concerns following surgery, my queries were answered promptly. I have felt all along that I was considered as a human being, rather than just a body part. Thanks, also, to Katie (Mr. Leo's PA).
