The Doctor was a calming presence throughout and helpful with answering questions and explanations of the surgery.

I have had five ascitic drains and can honestly say that Professor Brookes was so quick and deft I hardly knew it was being done. Brilliant experience.

Professor Brooke’s made me feel at relax when I was feeling really nervous!! And came and see me after my procedure to see how I was feeling and to check if everything was ok.

Dr Brookes was very helpful, friendly and answered any questions in detail. His explanation was thorough and informative.

Professor Brooke’s gave me a very clear explanation of the problem of the filter stuck in the inferior vena cava,with visuals and showed me it was retrieved. Am grateful for his fine work and the support of the team he led

He was excellent.

Professor Brooks fitted me with a PICC line. His explanation of the procedure was clear and informative. His manner was genial and reassuring - exactly what one would hope for.

It was a good experience, I felt very comfortable and the Dr J. Brookes was clear explained everything very well and how it was with local anesthesia he was talking to me while he was doing the surgery. Everything went very well.

During my recent surgery Professor Brookes put me completely at ease with his professional and personable manner. The surgery went ahead as planned and the procedure was fully explained to me upfront. After surgery Professor Brookes spoke with me about the operation he had performed answering any questions I had without hesitation. Professor Brookes’ demeanour, experience and knowledge is such that as a patient I always feel I am in skilful hands and have complete confidence in his work.

He has Good bedside manner good with kids and knows how to talk to them without sounding patronising overall he made my daughter’s experience better.
