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.
