Mr Courtney was very caring and listened to the numerous symptoms I have been experiencing. He discussed each part of the treatment and followed up each action. He also referred me to colleagues to deal with the diagnosis and treatment.

Mr Courtney was excellent. He provided clear and easy-to-comprehend explanations and was extremely reassuring. From my perspective, the operation was flawlessly executed, and it appears that it has not only resolved my hernia, but also eliminated the bloating pains we hoped it would alleviate. Surprisingly, I did not require any of the painkillers prescribed for post-operative discomfort. As of today, four weeks post-surgery, I can confidently state that I am experiencing no lingering effects whatsoever. Thank you.
