Wonderful - explained in detail, so helped take the fear out of surgery. I would highly recommend Mr Dorward
I have had surgery on 3 occasions (2 back, 1 pacemaker) so I feel moderately quailified to compare. I found Mr Dorward to be professional, competent and caring. He has a pleasant bedside manner and was able to explain in detail to me what was happening both pre and post op. The follow up interview went well and I feel that if I need further advice/support, he and his team will be there. Thank you, Rgds S
With Dr Dorward I felt confortable and in good hands from the very first meeting. He was commenting on the result of the MRI previously done in a such language that I could understand and despite the findings he made me feel I was in front of someone I can totally trust. On the day of the operation he came to see me before and after the surgery and he was very professionial and caring. The following day, the follow up visit, he arrived at the time I was advised. I would totally reccomentd Dr Dorwrd to any person in the same condition I had.
I was diagnosed with a meningioma and asked for a referral to Mr Dorward after careful research. I was very impressed with both the expertise and care he showed in explaining my options. I had an operation to remove the tumour and have been delighted with the result and would gladly recommend him to anyone else in the same position.
He was very pleasant . He explained everything to me and he did a very good job. He demonstrated a high sense of respect and empathy to me.
Mr Dorward was very helpful and answered all of my questions, and was able to outline what is 'normal' in the circumstances of my recovery in a way that was clear and reasonable. He was very caring and I am very grateful for his kind understanding of my concerns.
Very professional and very assured explanation of my issue Made me feel very confident in his opinion and advice
I found Mr Dorward extremely personable. I feel confident with the medical advice/plan that Mr Dorward suggested following my MRI
