Mr Boyle performed a Hartmans surgery on myself and was very through in explaining the risks and step by step how he would be performing the procedure. Mr Boyle made me feel so at ease with it all and reduced my anxiety levels with his knowledge and care and understanding. I never once felt like I had to question him or his ability to perform this complicated surgery. I would like to greatly thank Mr Boyle for his duty of care. Absolute 10/10. Thank you.
