Mr Evans was very professional and caring throughout the whole process. He took time to explain in detail his diagnosis and what the treatment would involve. He also came to see me before and after the operation to ensure that I was ok. He had warned me that I would experience a lot of pain after the operation and he wasn't joking! However the aftercare that he and the Sancta Maria hospital proided was first class and the operation was a complete success. I am very grateful to Mr Evans for all his help.

Mr Martyn Evans explained the options to me at his clinic. As I explained the symtoms of the second Inguinal Hernia in my groin became became very apparent soon after the Ambilical hernia, but over the period since, the symptoms have reduced and at this moment I am happy to live with it, but he did explain it would be a better option to get it repaired. I would like to consider this a bit longer, and he has agreed to see me if I change my mind. I therefore consider his advice to be first class, as we both consider that, at my age of 77, it could have serious consequences due to strangulation.

I was admitted for a hernia repair and the whole experience was as stress free as the staff could possibly make it. Mr Evans gave me a full explanation of what to expect and I was treated with courtesy and dignity. My operation was successful and I was well informed of the aftercare needed while the wound healed.I wouldn’t hesitate to use Mr Evans’ expertise in the future and would recommend him to friends and family.

From my first consultation through to my pre and post operational examinations I felt very pleased. The operation I had was successful and I made an excellent recovery. Mr Evans has a very friendly and reassuring manner, he explained the problem and corrective procedure in a detailed and easy to understand language. The whole experience was a huge success. One very happy patient.
