Easy check in and called to my appointment on time. Mr Taylor asked my wellbeing and how I had been since my Hernia procedure. I was then thoroughly examined and then explained what had been done during the procedure. Since meeting Mr. Taylor I have been made to feel at ease and I was confident I was in good hands.

Recent experience was great. My only feedback is on the post-op advice from the hospital discharge team. I was told to make sure not to get constipated but not really given advice on how to do that

An extremely pleasant and very friendly, courteous, knowledgeable, helpful and very expert surgeon who explains things very clearly and thereby instils confidence in his patients. His surgery is equally first class.
