Reviews
Not necessarily the easiest of consultants to talk to but todays appointment was satisfactory.
Chris Roberts carried out a successful surgery on my right hand. The operation went well and the outcome was perfect. I had full confidence from the initial consultation right through to undergoing the surgical procedure and follow up. I would certainly recommend Chris Roberts and would not hesitate if required to use his surgical skills again in the future. Mike C.
Very informative consultation regarding the operation I need to have on my shoulder. I have concern about the after care when I'm incapacitated, having my right arm in a sling for four weeks and unable to look after myself.
The whole process from my initial consultation with Mr Roberts, the surgery and post op telephone consultation today was excellent. The outcome from my operation and subsequent recovery has been amazing. I am completely pain free and have been able to resume living an active life again. The whole process with Nuffield, Ipswich and Mr Roberts, his theatre staff and the physio I saw to aid my recovery was first class. The outcome of my surgery was far more successful that I anticipated and I am now pain free and living a full life again. I am really grateful. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a great review. Much appreciated and very glad your surgery was a success.
The consultant saw me on time, answered all my questions and was very reassuring.
Very honest and straightforward, which is all you want to hear
Post assessment from operation to correct dupytrens contracture - positive outcome. Very pleased with overall care.
I found Mr Roberts very engaging, he listened to me explain the issue and did a thorough examination before recommending next steps. I felt he understood my worries and genuinely wanted to help me.
Mr Robert’s is always very polite and courteous, along with giving the necessary clinical information and explanation of what to expect.
