What has particularly impressed me is that the care didn't stop once my hernia operation was completed, and In my opinion, any follow up appointments are just as important, On every occasion I have been extremely impressed by Marks professionalism, care and attention. He has always taken the time to listen to my concerns, explain things clearly, and made sure I understood how my recovery was progressing. I am extremely grateful for the excellent treatment and aftercare I have received from Mark, and would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him to anyone requiring similar treatment.

My initial consultation with Mark Davies was on time with all the pros & cons clearly explained in easy to understand terms. There was plenty of time for me to ask questions which were answered in a reassuring and professional manner. On the day of the procedure the friendly staff kept me fully informed on the days events. I had brief consultations with Mark (surgeon) and Dr Duskover (anaesthetist) both excellent explaining exactly what was going to be done. After walking into the theatre and having a pleasant chat with Dr Duskover I woke up in the recover room with the procedure completed. When back in the ward I was visited by Mark who advised me that the procedure went well, which was very reassuring. I was given an appointment for a post-op consultation prior to being discharged. This was professional and reassuring. My post-op appointment, four weeks after my procedure, was again on time. Mark was very pleased with my recovery and advised me on how to manage the next few weeks and gradually get back normal. I am pleased with the result and didn't require pain relief after the first week. Nobody looks forward to having an operation but if did require another procedure, within his specialism, I would be very pleased to consult Mr Mark Davies.
