Excellent clinician, great communication and listened. I would have no hesitation recommending him.
Mr Derek was very understanding and listened to my concerns.
Dr Boyle is kind and attentive, he listens carefully, answers all my questions and made me feel at ease throughout my visits. He explained the procedure, risks and recovery steps very clearly and in simple terms. He displays a caring attitude, explains everything well and my appointments are never rushed. My surgery was successful, which has had a positive impact on my life and improved my overall health. I thank him for being the wonderful surgeon he is. Nurse Julie Horlick has provided me with the most incredible support and care throughout my visits and treatment. Particularly when I experienced what I would describe as very difficult moments, she was always there to comfort, reassure, and remind me how strong I am in order to get through this difficult time, which is why I believe I have developed a positive mindset as I approach the end of my journey.
This was a very traumatic time for me to learn that I had cancer of the colon and needed an operation. I received very good communication, verbal as well as literature from the Team and Mr Boyle. I was kept informed at every stage of the treatment pathway which made me feel confident and reassured about the treatment and professional care I received. Mr Boyle and is team provided me with excellent service and treatment.
Felt confident in Mr Boyle and team and grateful for treatment received.
Tried to give complete advice in simple language. Helpful diagrams too.
Recently I had a surgery and Mr. Boyle is very patient and professional which makes me feel more confident about my recovery. All the teammates Mr. Boyle has are great people and they are always supportive. Thank you so very much for your service. All the love and prayers for you and your teams.
Dr Boyle was extremely caring and compassionate. Went above and beyond to provide reassurance. Would highly recommend.
Very good consultant surgeon, much appreciated by his patients
