Excellent service from both David and his assistant Pam from start to finish. Very accommodating and results sent very quickly. Highly recommend.

Dr Reffitt listened to all my concerns and sent me for all the relevant tests to investigate what could be behind my recent difficulties. He also made sure I would get all the treatments available. The anaesthetics he administered before colonoscopy worked very well for me. I was relaxed and didn't experience any pain at all. I found Dr Reffitt knowledgeable, competent and professional.

I was looking for someone who would listen carefully and provide advice and treatment that would reassure me: that is exactly what Dr Reffitt did.

Dr Reffitt is one of those rare doctors who listens very carefully and takes your own personal ‘gut feelings’ into consideration (excuse the pun), which has been a gamechanger for me with my gastro issues. He’s transparent and diplomatic when it comes to course of action etc. He’s also very quick to respond when contacted for quick questions or follow-ups. I’m very happy with my care.

Very welcoming, and reassuring consultant who listened and helped me as much as he could.

I was recommended by a family member to consult Dr. Reffitt after experiencing a worrying health issue. I am truly a hypochondriac and was very worried. From the first consultation I felt at ease because Dr. Reffitt set out to explain possible causes in a reassuring and empathetic manner. As well as the consultations, Dr. Reffitt conducted the first investigative procedure, explaining every step of the way what was happening (understanding things helps overcome anxiety). A follow-up procedure and consutlation were necessary and again these were conducted in a freindly, empathetic and informative manner. My whole experience, including all of the administrative work, has been positive and professional. Thanks.

I am very grateful to David for playing a critical role in my recovery from my first Ulcerative Colitis flare up. He helped me navigate a very difficult and challenging time and went over and above what I anticipated in terms of his support and availability for consultation.

Dr Reffitt was friendly, polite and very professional. A real pleasure to deal with him.

Sadly I did not have a pleasant experience. The consultant was obviously pressed for time and did not attempt to answer my queries ahead of the procedure, nor reassure me during it.
