I am so glad that I had Mr Runau as my surgeon. He has excellent knowledge, is kind, listens and follows through with what he says. I was previously given limited surgical options through the NHS, and when I shared my concerns and my expectations with Mr Runau he tailored a management plan to give me the highest change of post operative success. He dealt with all of my concerns, made me feel comfortable and I would highly recommend him to anyone requiring a colorectal surgeon.
