Today was a follow up post surgery. Mr Baker explained how the procedure had gone and that there no concerns. I told him I still had tenderness in one particular area and he assured me there was nothing amiss but it could take several months for the discomfort completely end. I was satisfied and comfortable with the information and the manner in which it was provided.

I visited Mr Baker in relation to removal of my gallbladder. Mr Baker was really easy to talk to, listened to any concerns I had and answered questions in a clear and easy to understand way. My operation took place within 2 weeks and all appointments were thorough and on time and all the medical staff were exceptional. Although nervous about an operation, Mr Baker put me at ease about the procedure.

Mr Baker explained everything very well & managed to fit me in for my Gallbladder removal so I could go on a pre- planned holiday. I felt very confident in his skills as a surgeon as he was well recommended & I am now recovering well. I would certainly be very happy to be operated on by Mr Baker in future but I hope it doesn’t happen!

After my surgery I couldn't pass urine. I had a catheter inserted and developed sepsis. I spent 15 nights in Royal Shrewsbury hospital as I was treatment resistant to the antibiotics. I was very ill. Mr Baker's operation appears to have been successful and I am slowly recovering. He is a very nice surgeon and I was pleased with his care.

Mr Andrew Baker was fantastic from start to finish with my hernia surgery. He was very polite and a top professional. My surgery went extremely well! He did a fantastic job and I'm now healing up well and feel much better. He explained the procedure well and clear to me and gave me great advice on how to recover post surgery. I would highly recommend Andrew ! Thank you so much !
