I saw Mark about a PFO, which I had found out about some years ago after volunteering for a research trial. At all stages - culminating in my having the PFO closed by him - he was kind, patient, reassuring and highly professional. It is clear that he is enormously skilled and knowledgeable in this field, and I feel very grateful to have been able to be treated by him. I would thoroughly recommend his services (underpinned too by his very efficient medical secretary, Rachel). Excellent experience in all respects. Thank you.
I was highly delighted with the care I received from Dr Turner from the initial consultation through having my operation (to close a hole in the heart) and follow up checks. He explained everything clearly and patiently and pointed me to published research so I could make an informed decision on whether I should have the operation. Everything went perfectly and my operation was a great success. Mark was recommended to me by several others as the best person for a scuba diver to consult on this type of operation and they were right! I would recommend Mark to anyone.
Telephone consultation easy to arrange. Clinical letter and forms received promptly after appointment
Excellent experience. I had 100% confidence in his treatment. He gave me back some peace of mind and bought normality back to my life after long NHS waits.
Dr Turner has been excellent all the way through treatment over the past six months. Consultation, surgery through to post op care has been an excellent experience.
