Mr Di Maggio was great, from my first consultation he was honest and helpful in guiding me through options. I have a unique case as I had a hernia but also had a neuropathic condition which amplified my pain in the region. He made no promise of improved pain but said it could improve as a result. Operation went ahead (laparoscopically), he was efficient and recovery has gone well. Pain I am pleased to say has also reduced significantly. I would recommend him without a doubt to anyone suffering with inguinal hernia. He is a kind man with a genuine desire to help you understand your condition and help to improve/fix it for you.
I visited Dr Di Maggio regarding a hip issue that might be connected to my colon. From the very beginning, he was absolutely amazing. He was attentive, professional, and took the time to carefully listen and understand my situation. What stood out the most was how supportive he was throughout the process. He not only provided clear medical guidance but also went out of his way to recommend other specialists and actively helped with arranging further tests and treatments. His proactive approach and genuine care made a very stressful situation much easier to manage. I’m very grateful for his support and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate doctor.
Honestly, I couldn’t be happier, I was in quite a lot of pain, but was booked in and the procedure completed within 2 weeks. Mr Di Maggio was excellent, and I would highly recommend him. All the staff At Shirley Oaks Hospital were superb
