Consultant David James. He was very professional throughout and followed through with a thorough investigation. He identified that there was nothing serious, discovered a haemorrhoid, and further identified polyps which were removed. Thank you for the full screening and for putting my mind at rest. Mr Harris

Mr James had been fantastic, he listened and helped to come up with solutions to reduce my pain. He is caring and interested in his patient‘s needs and very supportive. He made sure I get the best care possible and I am very grateful for his help and professionalism.
I was seen promptly. Mr James put me at my ease and took plenty of time to go through my situation in detail. He explained clearly the process ahead. I left the consultation fully confident that I am in excellent hands.
David and his team did an excellent job in mixing professionalism with a friendly, warm and welcoming approach. This made what is a very intimate procedure far more comfortable than I imagined it would be. I thank him and the team for their brilliant service.
Mr James couldn’t have done more to make me feel at ease and comfortable. Him and his team were professional and warm They treated me with kindness and respect. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
