Mr Davies was very quick and professional. He offered me several appointments all within a good timescale. The bill for the consultation arrived very promptly and caused some confusion as it comes via a third party and did not seem completely above board to begin with. I had to double check with the secretary. Surgery went well and my follow up appointment again was prompt and efficient.

I had a hernia operation at the Nuffield Hospital, performed by Dr. Davies. Throughout my experience with the hospital, he was professional and very informative, and the operation went smoothly. The follow-up appointment was very good, and there were no issues with it. Overall, the service was professional, and he was very, knowledgeable

From the moment I arrived at the Nuffield Hospital Bournemouth I was feeling very anxious But the nurses helped put lessen my fears of the operation to come and took me to my room on the Purbeck Ward. And then one by one nurses came in all very friendly and reassuring took my blood pressure. Even the atheist came in and asked if I had any doubts about it and what would make it better for me. Nicholas Davies came in and told me what would happen and did Help put my mind at ease Had to wait quite a bit as I was forth on the list. Finely a Nurse comes in and tells me I need to change into the cloths for the operation and as she described it some horrible pants made me laugh When they finally did come for me, they helped put a dressing down on me and took me to the operating room. I was quite surprised how small it seemed but seemed to have all the stuff required on shelves around me.. And the anaesthetist said she wouldn’t put the oxygen mask on it till I was under As I was a bit concerned about being put under from my last experience many years ago as a teenager for a tonsils operation. I just remember the clock on the wall in front of me appearing to go up and down before I went under. When I finally came to it was as if I just been asleep. All the nurses were very attentive and very helpful every reassuring They then wheeled me back to my room. And told me I should drink plenty which I did. They wanted to see if i could pee properly and I was determined to do this without having a catheter fitted. I told the nurse I needed to stand up to do this, but she wouldn’t...

I recently had my gallbladder removed by Mr Nicholas Davies and I genuinely can’t praise him enough. From the very first time I met him, I immediately felt comfortable and reassured. He has a really friendly, down-to-earth manner and explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand without making things overly complicated. I never felt rushed and always felt I could ask anything I wanted. When it came to the operation itself, I couldn’t believe how smoothly everything went. Mr Davies came to see me beforehand, talked me through everything again and completely put my mind at ease. The operation seemed to be over in no time at all and, before I knew it, I was awake and recovering. Everything had gone exactly as planned. What really stood out for me throughout the whole experience was the confidence he gives you. You very quickly get the feeling that you’re in extremely capable hands, but without any of the formality or distance you sometimes expect from a consultant. He’s just a genuinely nice, approachable person who also happens to be extremely good at what he does. Even the recovery has been much easier than I had expected, and I’m incredibly grateful for how well everything was handled from beginning to end. Nobody particularly looks forward to having an operation, but if you find yourself needing gallbladder surgery, I honestly don’t think I could recommend Mr Davies highly enough. A very easy 5 stars from me. Thank you, Mr Davies, for making something I was understandably apprehensive about so straightforward and for taking such good care of me.

I’m very grateful to Dr Davies for carrying out my cholecystectomy. From my initial consultation through to my post-operative appointment, I was impressed by his professionalism, kindness and clear communication. He took the time to explain everything thoroughly, allowing me to make an informed decision about my surgery, and provided clear guidance throughout the process and during my recovery. I felt well supported and confident in the care I received. Thank you, Dr Davies, for your excellent care and professionalism.
