Very professional highly recommend to anyone 

Professional and patient when dealing with my questions

Everything was well explained and Dr Despott has answered to all my questions and concerns. The procedure went well, there was no pain as promised. I’m still waiting for all the results. Happy I chose this doctor and hospital.

I was looked after very well by Dr Despott,he explained everything about the procedures to me and put my anxieties to ease. The actual procedures went very well and were not as scary as I had initially thought. 

The care that I received from Dr Despott was excellent. I appreciate that he listens and thoroughly explained my condition and treatment options during my consultation. His explantations helped me relax in the run-up to my procedure and during my hospital visit on 31/03/22. I felt in very safe hands and felt I received an outstanding quality of medical care.


He was very kind and made me feel relaxed and in safe hands. 

Dr Despott was friendly and professional. He provided clear explanations in a professional, detailed but easy to understand way.

I admire this doctor’s professionalism and manners he is really great since day one and during treatment. 
Highly recommended 

Many thanks indeed; very much appreciated

When I was told by my previous surgeon that there was no chance of removing my very awkward polyp internally, and that I need to lose 10 - 12 inches of colon along other important pats including my appendix, I asked for a referral to Dr Despott. That was the best decision I have made in my life. Just a few days after this I was very pleasantly surprised to receive  a phone call from the man himself. He told me that having studied my notes he was willing to take my case on for internal microsurgery. He went out of his way to explain what was involved and the risks involved and the chances of success and failure. He answered all my questions very thoroughly making sure I understood what was involved. He was very professional but above that his caring attitude shone through.
This caring attitude was reflected in every subsequent phone call and meeting including on the day of my operation when he ran through my procedure in detail. 
Then the operation...Dr Despott is a superhero in disguise! He worked tirelessly for more than 8 hours to detach and remove my polyp. I was sedated but could follow the whole procedure.  It was a very difficult involved procedure but, despite the stress and the concentration required, Dr Despott remained calm and controlled the whole time - even managing to teach his colleagues what he was up to. 
His professional caring manner continued in the days and subsequent when he was checking on my condition. He explained to me that he "treats his patients as though they were members of his family".  If you manage to be treated by Dr Despott then you can consider yourself very very fortunate.
