Dr Goodchild was brilliant. Made everything simple and explained the situation in the clearest possible way. Once you properly understand what’s happening, half of the stress disappears. The colposcopy itself was much simpler than many people had told me.
Screening colonoscopies for my wife and I and I cannot thank Dr Goodchild enough for his reassuring professionalism and a great experience in the endoscopy unit.
I attended for my regular pancreas cancer screening and as usual was a fantastic experience from Dr Goodchild and the whole team.
Dr Goodchild was absolutely outstanding. He cared for me with great professionalism while creating a calm, reassuring atmosphere that really helped ease my worries. His advice was clear and next steps were taken immediately.
Excellent Dr, very approachable and made me feel at ease. Thank you very much!
Dr Goodchild removed my bowel polyps via a colonoscopy. The experience was superb, I had almost no discomfort at all and I was back at my desk within 2 hours. The nurses were also great, a brilliant team!
After suffering months of abdominal problems and seeing various medical professionals without a diagnosis, I made an appointment with Dr George Goodchild at the London clinic. I was very worried and anxious, needlessly as he was so patient and kind I soon felt at ease. He asked a lot of questions and he really listened to me. I now have a diagnosis I can’t thank him enough for his caring and professional approach. Highly recommended
I have been very worried regarding my stomach problems. On meeting this lovely doctor I immediately felt at ease. My condition was very clearly explained and treatment plan. The most positive point was that he listened and asked lots of questions. A very positive experience.
On attending the clinic I found the Dr Goodchild extremely pleasant and explained everything very clearly in a manner in which I understood. Thank you.
Could not fault the service that I got. Dr Goodchild spent a long time explaining my problem to me with diagrams and pictures which has made me really understand the issue .
