Mr Michael Hughes

I had been experiencing issues for almost two years, having many tests but no real diagnosis, when I arranged my first consultation with Mr Hughes. I found him to be very approachable and professional, and he was able to reassure me and pinpoint the likely source of the issues at that consultation. An MRI was booked, however events overtook the timing of this and my local ED found my gallbladder to be the problem, confirming Mr Hughes's initial thoughts. By this time, some of the atypical symptoms presenting were severely impacting my life, and Mr Hughes made a huge effort to fit me in for surgery earlier than his schedule would usually allow. For this compassion, I am incredibly grateful. The surgery was breeze, the incision sites are tiny faint lines that I expect to heal to invisibility and the procedure gave immediate relief from the pain that has been life changing. I will have no hesitation in arranging a consultation again should I be unfortunate enough to suffer further gastric/abdominal issues.

Mr Hughes was highly professional, providing clear details and recommendations. The surgery went extremely well with excellent aftercare provided. I would highly recommend Mr. Hughes.

Michael was professional, warm and made me feel comfortable and in safe hands immediately. He answered all my questions and I am grateful for the skill and care I received pre, during and post surgery. My scars are very neat and smaller than I expected too. Surgery couldn't have gone any better.

My experience of my dealing with Mr Hughes was of a person who was considerate and totally professional in his work. He was easy to talk to, had a relaxed manner and was fully focused on providing the correct outcome for my medical problem. After examining me Mr Hughes explained the benefits of the surgery being carried out and thought that proceeding with an operation was reasonable. He discussed with me the risks associated with surgery and anaesthesia and also with regard to my history of deep vein thrombosis. On the day of my operation he met me along with the anaesthetist and provided assurance of the procedure to be undertaken. Afterwards he visited me in my room and assured me that all had gone well and advised on the rehabilitation that I should follow.

I found Mr Hughes to be very professional and easy to understand and was very thorough on the proceedure that was to take place and of the choices that were available to me.

Mr Hughes was a warm, friendly, knowledgeable doctor and made me feel at ease straight away. He spoke through my options and before, during and after my small surgery he made sure I understood what was happening and that I was ok. I was very nervous about the surgery but mr Hughes and his team made me feel safe and looked after.

I can’t recommend Dr Hughes highly enough, he is kind, professional and explains everything really well, answered every question or concern I had and put me at ease. Surgery was a success and I look forward to being free from gallbladder pain going forward.

Respectful, calm, friendly in his approach Mr Hughes put me at ease and allowed me to feel confident from our initial consultation and throughout each of our encounters. Mr Hughes is clearly a skilled surgeon to boot as I feel tremendous post cholestystectomy with lovely neat wounds and no ill effects post op.

As good an experience as can be expected when having surgery. Mr Hughes was friendly and professional. The surgery went well and I was given clear instructions about before and aftercare.

All my needs were met and felt well looked after
