Mr Derek John Boyle

My appointment was for a follow up after a reversal operation for stoma .Mr Boyle was extremely professional as well as empathetic He explained how to deal with any issues arising and gave me so much confidence I will be able to deal with the coming months.

Mr Boyle made me feel at ease as he talked me through my issues. Excellent advice and his manner was reassuring.

Derek Boyle is a kind and considerate surgeon who puts his paitients well being at the centre of everything. He is clear and concise with explanations and readily available.

I have seen Dr Boyle on numerous occasions and found him to be friendly, thoughtful, detailed and clear. Always making sure I was OK.

Derek Boyle is the most caring surgeon. He gave me huge confidence that everything he did was in my best interests. I have had three operations under his care and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

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.

Mr Derek Boyle is professional, straight‑talking, and exceptionally clear in the way he communicates. He takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, ensuring you understand not only what is happening now but also what will happen next. His ability to outline the pathways and next steps in a calm, structured way is incredibly reassuring. Alongside his clarity, he brings a genuine sense of compassion, making you feel listened to, supported, and treated with real care. His combination of expertise, honesty, and empathy creates a level of trust and confidence that truly stands out.

I had an amazing experience under Mr Boyle’s care at the Royal Free. He is clearly extremely experienced and competent, but still listened patiently and intently to all my queries, concerns and questions. Undergoing major surgery is a traumatic experience for anyone, but under Mr Boyle’s care I felt like I was always his number 1 priority which made the experience far less intimidating and more comforting.

I met with Mr Boyle on the 17th Feb for a 3 week review following my recent bowel surgery. Mr Boyle is always so approachable, kind and explains everything so well to me from test results to further surgery. Having just had major bowel surgery Mr Boyle put me completely at ease pre operation and post operation and I always felt confident knowing I was in the best hands.

Mr Boyle has now operated on me 3 times over 7 years and has always given me exemplary service. Not being awake at the time 😂 means I can only judge the results after the event but in that regard I cannot fault the outcomes especially considering the difficulties and complexities with my colorectal problems.
