Very caring and kind. Mine was probably a minor operation for Mr Sidebottom but he took time to ensure my concerns (and irrational fears) were taken seriously. Very happy with the experience
Everyone has their own concerns and I am pleased I was able to safely deal with yours and deliver a good outcome

Very professional at all times. Explained everything in a way that I understood. Although I work with Mr. Sidebottom he didn’t presume I knew about my condition. I would certaily recommend Mr Sidebottom.
Thank you. I think it is important not to assume a level of understanding based on what job a patient does. Keeping discussions in understandable terms is vital to clear treatment goals and outcomes.

Dr Sidebottom was very approachable, reassuring, informative, sensitive and caring. He carried out the biopsy very skilfully and with concern for me as an individual. All in all his manner made me relaxed and confident that I was in very safe hands.
Thank you for your kind feedback
