Reviews
I had a great experience with Dr Hancu. He was reassuring and explained the procedure very clearly. I'm very happy with how the surgery went and the follow up appointment after.
Great experience—attentive, professional, and took the time to listen. I felt comfortable throughout and left confident in the care I received.
Dr Hancu was extremely informative from the first time I met him and throughout the process and post surgery. Very professional and more importantly very personable which made me feel safe and comfortable. Thank you
I have been treated by Mr Hancu for the last 2 years and would wholeheartedly recommend him. His dedication to me as a patient is extraordinary, and he listens to my concerns. I totally trust his judgement and his professionalism is second to none.
Patient -centered approach . Professional On time Flexible
My colonoscopy at WBCH went well. I was informed of what to expect and only inhaled some ENTONOX whilst the colonoscope was turning a corner and also during removal of polyps. Apart from those 2 instances, I was comfortable throughout and I was happy to observe everything on the screen. Dr Hancu kindly drew my attention to the Anastomosis scar resulting from my bowel surgery (November 2020). I am happy because I have been free of bowel cancer for 5 years and 5 months and I feel very healthy and have a good lifestyle. All the staff were kind, welcoming and helpful.
Wry professional and attentive kept us informed of procedures gave us information and understanding

Don't think it could be any better. Dr Hancu is professional,courteous and everything you could want.
I visited for an initial consultation a was very impressed. Dr Hancu was professional, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He provided injections as a short term treatment, while I await further procedures, and they have been revelational! For months I’ve been in pain and the injections have solved the issue temporarily.
