Excellent advice and very reassuring throughout my experience with him.
Was very helpful made sure I knew exactly what was going to be happening. Also came & spoke to me afterwards & explained exactly what had been done & asked if I had any questions. The nurses were also excellent, very attentive.
The staff and process were excellent. Everything was explained to make the procedure as straightforward as possible. I highly recommend Dr Ralphs and his team. Thank you.
The Doctor made me feel relaxed and fully explained the procedure. The Doctor clearly explained each stage of the Endoscopy procedure in non medical terms allowing me too fully understand.
Recently had an endoscopy with Dr Ralph's and he was very friendly and warm towards me and explained everything really well without making me feel rushed
I was not looking forward to my endoscopy. The nurses I met in the pods were very reassuring and one nurse had previously had several endoscopies and went through in detail what to expect. I opted for sedation and I was unaware what happened during the procedure. Dr Ralph’s came and saw me after the operation and explained clearly what had gone on. I was very happy with how things had gone on and would reassure anyone having this procedure not the worry. You are in very safe hands.
Dr Ralphs explained what the problem was prescribed medication witch sorted the problem a follow up on line appointment to make sure all was well,first class treatment
