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.

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
