AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Mr Christopher Shearer is professional. He keeps patients at ease and gives clear information. Patients report good experiences from procedures like camera scopes, endoscopies, and operations, noting quick recovery. His expertise includes inguinal hernia and gallstone surgery.
Excellent professional and caring approach. Discussed options for repair of an inguinal hernia and jointly decided on a robotic approach. Excellent surgical outcome- walking that evening and up and about the next day. Fully convalesced within 2 weeks and back to heavy lifting in 4. Even though my LIH was repaired (open) 20 years ago this was quicker, more comfortable and better recovery.
Mr shearer was very professional and took the time to listen to me and go through all my symptoms. He explained my scan results to me so I understood them. I left feeling very reassured.
Chris Shearer id an absolute gem of a man. He has been an amazing support through my personal troubles and his care and knowledge in helping me through my difficulties with my band has left me with nothing but admiration and faith that he has my best interests at heart. Thanks Chris John
Mr Shearer performed wonderfully and is a great success. Very approachable as well all the staff throughout ,nothing was too much trouble. Cleanliness was paramount and it was very clean . I was involved in decisions and choices when appropriate.
Mr Shearer was friendly, approachable and clearly explained what was going on and what would be happening. I felt calm and in good hands the full experience.
I always felt in good hands and fully informed of the procedure.
I recently had surgery for an incisional hernia and I cannot fault Christopher at all. My initial appointment he explained everything, surgery all went great and everything looked fine at my follow up appointment. Would highly recommend Christopher.
A thorough discussion explaining all the steps and associated risks. Made me feel at ease.
Christopher was very professional while explaining the process in detail. The treatment was carried out quickly and efficiently.
