Christopher was very professional while explaining the process in detail. The treatment was carried out quickly and efficiently.
was happy with the outcome. The initial explanations of the details of the operation and the recover were a bit vague/generic, maybe worth spending more time on. Having said, there were no big surprises, just trusting the process...
I had a very positive experience with my surgeon. He was friendly, approachable and made me feel completely at ease throughout the process. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions making sure I understood what to expect. I never felt rushed and really appreciated the care and attention I was given .
I got my gallbladder removed in May, I had complications and was a very anxious patient. Mr Shearer took the time to explain the procedure and reassure me that even although there was complications this was routine for him. He has years of experience and that put my mind at ease. The procedure went to plan and my wounds were small and neat with no issues at all. Mr Shearer is professional but friendly and caring too I would highly recommend him.
Very thorough and professional explained everything clearly.
Mr Shearer was approachable and had genuine empathy for my condition. My procedure was explained in a concise way and carried out promptly. He is a skilled physician and I have no doubts on recommending him
