My experience with Mr, Gareth Hewitt was very positive. He explained everything about my condition very clearly and put me at ease throughout the consultation.
Mr Hewitt has been my consultant for over 20years. I had UC during this period, but in Dec 25 a tumor was discovered so Mr Hewitt had to operate. Today's appointment was a check up on my bellybutton wounds which Mr Hewitt has put me in for a biopsy as he wants to make sure it's heeling correctly and nothing more sinister going on as it looks different from what he expected. He also spoke about further tests and prev test results.
My experience could not have been more respectful and caring. I have been with Mr Hewitt before and he always puts you at ease and explains everything that is going to happen.
