I found David to be informative regarding the surgery he was going to provide. He took time to listen to my questions and concerns. He formulated a plan of action and took me through each stage. He was reassuring and gave me time to discuss my experience.

Explained symptoms and David listened without jumping to conclusions, easy to talk too and next steps discussed, wasn’t made to feel like it was a rush to see the next patient, this was a breath of fresh air based on seeing other doctors and surgeons in past times.

Put my mind at ease from the minute our consultation started. Listened to me, reassured me, explained my options. Took his time to talk through the cause and treatment of my condition. Was very friendly and relaxed. Trusted him from the start and was there to explain how the operation went as soon as I came around from the anaesthesia.
