My whole experience of the procedure from start to finish was exemplary. However, since leaving the hospital, I have had chronic constipation which is still ongoing, possibly a UTI as passing urine is extremely difficult. A sample will be tested tomorrow. My GP has given me medication to help but with no results so far. I am sure that as soon as the constipation disappears all will be well. In the meantime I am in a lot of pain and unable to sleep.

My overall experience from start to finish was very positive. Mr Keeling was recommended to me by colleagues and I am glad I followed their advice. He has a very calming nature which leaves you in no doubt you are making the right decisions in your treatment. At all stages of my treatment I felt well informed and in good hands. I would highly recommend him to others in the future.

My experience with Mr Keeling has been of the highest level. He is approachable, informative and caring. I had a colonoscopy and haemorrhoid banding and I couldn’t recommend him more
