Dr O'Reilly was really professional and had already requested and received my GP and hospital notes. He gave me the advice I needed and put my mind to rest. I can't thank him enough
Mr O'Reilly made me feel very at ease by not over complicating his assessment and clearly explained what would be done, my life 1 month post operation has been massively different ,the relief I have felt has been great, I was treated very kindly by all the staff at Spire hospital Cardiff, they explained there parts before Mr O'Reilly came in to see me before surgery, I am very grateful, my scars are really small and have healed nicely and I am optimistic going forward I can get back to work and on with my life thanks to Mr O'Reillys help .
Very professional and friendly. When through all possibilities in great detail and was more than happy to answer all my questions. Completely put at ease.
Very swiftly dealt with, from check in to meeting surgeon. All treatment options discussed and a clear pathway mutually agreed
Dr O’Reilly was very friendly and put me at ease straight away, he asked me about my own feelings about my issues and then explained a plan of action very clearly, I felt relived and hopeful upon leaving, that a proper investigation will be done into my issues, thank you Dr O’Reilly
Mr O’Reilly was extremely reassuring and calming. He explained things clearly and made me feel at ease.
All fine Friendly and efficient staff. Plenty of seating in waiting area. Coffee machine useful. Didn’t have to wait long.
I have been extremely impressed with the professionalism and expertise shown by Mr O’Reilly during my two consultation appointments. He took the time to ask detailed questions to fully understand my symptoms, and following my recent scan he explained the results with exceptional clarity, making everything easy to understand. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Mr O’Reilly.
Grateful for professional expertise of the consultant surgeon, nurses and clerical staff at UHW outpatient department. Good directions at tel apt. Apt on time - no waiting.
