Fantastic overall
Thank you very much for your kind feedback. I’m delighted to hear you had a positive experience with your thyroid surgery and care overall. Wishing you a smooth continued recovery, and thank you again for taking the time to leave a review.
I was recommended Mr. Rudd by a friend. It was good to have the time to discuss my medical situation in depth, and to view my previous scans on the computer, which is not something that was offered to me before. It was also reassuring to undergo a further test there and then in the consultancy room, and to see the results on the computer screen straight away, so I came away understanding my situation a lot more, feeling more in control. I highly recommend a visit to Mr Rudd
Thank you very much for your kind review and recommendation. I’m really pleased that you found the consultation helpful and informative. I believe it’s important that patients fully understand their condition and feel involved in decisions about their care, so I’m glad reviewing the scans and carrying out further assessment during the appointment helped provide reassurance and clarity. Thank you again for taking the time to leave such positive feedback — it is greatly appreciated.
From our first consultation with Mr Rudd prior to our son’s adenotonsillectomy we were reassured. Our concerns were validated and listened to, all our options were clearly explained and all the risks and benefits outlined in detail. Mr Rudd was excellent with our son who can often be quite shy, being that he is only 3 years old. We saw Mr Rudd prior to and post our son’s surgery and we knew exactly what to expect with his recovery. The difference in our son is astounding, his recovery was textbook and straight forward. Overall our experience with Mr Rudd was excellent.
Very glad to have been able to help, it was a pleasure.
Overall a very good experience informative and caring good surgeon too carried out a parotidectomy all facial nerves ok Ten out of ten
On time. Attentive, listened, constructive advice. Kind and friendly
I found Mr Rudd to be professional and personable. He took his time to listen to my concerns, answer my question’s and explained to me what I needed to know in a calm and informative manner. He carried out a minor investigative procedure during my appointment and I felt reassured by the time I walked out of his office.. His service was excellent and would totally recommend.
