From being referred to Mr Duff to rectify previous surgery he has been excellent in correcting the open wound through further surgery, weekly assessing progress of recovery, giving support, reassurance and confidence that I would gain full recovery. This was greatly appreciated.

Explanation

I felt that my care was very personal nothing was too much of a problem and every issue avenue was explored to resolve the blips I had post surgery. His approach is determined and focussed whilst maintaining a very human element, I did not feel like just another patient. Very hands on so I knew I was in the best care.

Mr Duff explained the surgery process very clearly, allowing me to make an informed decision about how to proceed. The surgery itself went smoothly and the results exceeded my expectations. Throughout the process, Mr Duff kept me fully informed, including explaining the post surgery biopsy results. Administration was also first class.

Although I really do t like hospitals. From our first meeting Dr Duff was very friendly, and knowledgeable in his field. I felt no anxiety at all during the visits and surgery, he has a real gift for making you feel relaxed and in safe hands.

Mr Duff was fantastic throughout the process. From the first consultation to surgery and then the aftercare consultation. He gave me a full breakdown of the process, what to expect and made me feel comfortable throughout. During the operation (Local) he cracked jokes and had a great sense of humour with myself and his staff who made the situation feel more comfortable. During the final consultation he even checked my hand and wrist that I injured during a hike that was nothing to do with my visit. I would highly recommend Mr Duff!
