A good experience. My referral was on time and the information was very helpful and any queries I had were answered. I felt confident that I was in good hands throughout and shown real concern for my wellbeing during future surgery.

I cannot rate Mr Sebastian highly enough. He’s clearly incredibly good at his job which inspires confidence at an otherwise terrifying time. But just as importantly his kindness and humanity are as evident as his professional reputation. I will never forget that he took the time to call me personally when he came out of my husband’s surgery. We need more of this kind of care in the world.

Having just visited William Harvey Hospital and undergone a colonoscopy, I would like to say that all staff showed great professionalism. They were kind, calm and made the experience easier to get through. Well done and thank-you. I would also like to say that Dr Sebastian has cared for me over the last 5 years and this was my 3rd colonoscopy with him. He is empathetic, pleasant to speak to and exceptionally professional.
