I had an excellent experience with Mr Crinnion. The initial consultation was thorough, clear and reassuring. He subsequently performed my thyroid surgery, and everything went smoothly, with no complications. I felt confident that I was in very capable hands throughout the process. Very professional, friendly and approachable. I'm extremely happy with the care I received and would highly recommend him.

Thank you for your kind review
Dr Crinnion was great with me,very patient,explained everything in details and clarified all my queries. Truly a good doctor,I would recommend for anyone with thyroid problems
Many thanks for your kind words
I saw Mr Crinnion for an inguinal hernia repair. This was my first experience using something other than the NHS, and my experience with Mr Crinnion was spotless from start to finish. During the consultation, Mr Crinnion clearly set out the different options available to me, with an honest assessment of pros and cons. He is an open, friendly man with a warm manner that put me instantly at ease. Engaging with him between the consultation and surgery was also an easy and pleasant experience. In terms of the actual surgery, Mr Crinnion did a brilliant job. I felt safe and comfortable before and during, and the aftercare has been top notch. Mr Crinnion will be my first call in the future, and I recommend that he is yours too.
Many thanks for your kind words
Lovely bedside manner clear explanations and checked I was ok lots of times. Great result.
Excellent from start to finish , professional and efficient , couldn't ask for any more
Five stars, without hesitation. I recently had a partial thyroid removal performed by Dr. James, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the initial consultation through to the surgery and aftercare, every step was clear, thorough, and reassuring. Dr. James answered every question I had with patience and honesty, and he genuinely listened. His professionalism and quiet confidence in his craft were evident from the first conversation, and it's clear he brings years of experience to every procedure. I felt safe and in expert hands throughout. I'm so grateful for his care and would recommend him wholeheartedly.
Thank you for providing a very kind review
