No visit, all done in the phone and to be honest that’s all that is required for this type of procedure.
Great service and process. Everything explained and looked after so well
I recently visited Mr Decadt with a medical concern, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for his exceptional care. From the moment I made the call I felt valued and reassured. Mr Decadt went above and beyond to address my needs, demonstrating remarkable kindness and compassion throughout my visit. He prioritised my urgent care, pulling out all the stops to ensure I received the attention I required. His dedication to his patients is truly commendable, and it made a significant difference in my experience. A shout out also to Claudia his private secretary, what a team ! Thank you, Mr Decadt ! I will be forever grateful for your support and expertise. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of compassionate and attentive care.
My experience with spire and Dr Decadt was nothing but first class, exceptional and professional, treatment pre and post op was amazing, would defo recommend spire Manchester
Absolutely fantastic. Operation went very well and Mr Decadt was very impressive. The nursing staff couldn't do enough to keep myself comfortable. The hospital was spotless and if I have to I will use this hospital again in the future.
Extremely kind and caring surgeon. No charge for initial consultation for sleeve gastrectomy. No rush. No pressure. Full explanation of what to expect. Post op came to see me and explained the procedure... with photos. Calm and reassuring. I chose this surgeon as I had witnessed his behaviour with patients on the ward where I work. Follow up care continued for 2 years. I have lost more than 70% of my excess weight. For those thinking sleeve gastrectomy is a quick and easy fix... it's not! But the surgery has changed my life for the better. I would absolutely RECOMMEND Mr Decadt if you are thinking of having weight loss surgery.

I feel honoured you've chosen me and grateful for the very kind feedback. 70% excess weight loss confirms your motivation for change and hard work during the 2 year follow up care package. Well done!
I would say that from the first consultation to the last one the whole team are very professional and talk to you at every stage to re assure you what is going to happen,If you listen to what they tell you all I can say is it's life changing for the better.I have been given my life back and can now do normal things that I could not do before I would highly recommend that any body who needs help with obesity and weight loss they need to do this surgery I have lost at the moment 16stone and still counting in the two years I have had my surgery

Nice words, thank you. I am blessed with a caring and efficient team around me, guiding every patient during the 2 years post surgery. Lovely to hear you can do things now which you couldn't do before! Great effort!
I cannot fault anything from the first phone call/consultation, pre operation checks and on the day of the operation. All the staff were very professional, respectful and friendly. Highly recommended.

lovely words, thank you. Respectful and caring staff are the backbone of an efficient service. I will forward the message.
Mr Decadt is very personable and easy to talk to . He explains everything well in a positive manner.

My pleasure!
