I cannot recommend Mr Baker highly enough. He is a lovely gentleman who combines professionalism expertise and a friendly reassuring manner. He took the time to clearly explain all aspects of the surgery which made a real difference in putting Me at ease. The surgery itself went very well I’ve healed well and the follow-up care has been excellent.

Very impressed with Mr Baker, he was very friendly and professional as was the whole team. Had the hernia op 6 weeks ago and received the all clear today and wouldn't hesitate to use again for other procedures. Everything was 100% and a very good experience. Would highly recommend Mr Baker.

Its disappointing that the NHS let me down and that I had to go private for my treatment but I couldnt wait any longer. Mr Baker carried out a Bilateral Inguinal Hernia repair on me. I had forgotten what it was like to be pain free, Mr Baker put that right, something like 22 days from booking my first consultation with him. Excellent treatment and recovery throughout. Thank you.
