AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Mr Peter Lamb is professional and clear, and patients feel confident with his approach. He explains conditions and procedures, making sure patients understand their options and feel heard. Patients often report good recoveries from surgeries like gallbladder surgery, feeling at ease. Overall, gallbladder removal and hernia repair are key themes.
Mr Lamb was very.welcoming and put us at ease straight away. He quickly ascertained what the problem was and used the result of the ultra sound to aid his understanding. He then explained the possible causes and also explained the risk involved should surgery be required.. He then advised that a further MRI scan was required and offered to organise this at the earliest possible time. He suggested a further to discuss the results and the way forward. He was willing to answer any questions that we had.

Doctor Lamb was very thorough in his assessment of my hernia, I had two different scans done before he decided to go ahead with the surgery. Also he informed of the risks I might have due to another medical condition I have.
Many thanks for taking the time to submit your review, which is very much appreciated.
M Lamb is clearly an excellent surgeon and he did a great job on me personally! However I did feel a little rushed on the day as he gave me a post op update when I was still very tired from the GA. I also felt a little rushed at my follow up appointment.
Many thanks for taking the time to submit your review, which is very much appreciated. I am sorry to read that you felt the post-operative and follow-up conversations were a bit rushed. Please do contact my secretary if you wish to discuss anything further; I would be more than happy to speak with you again.
I recently had an operation performed by Mr Lamb at the Spire Murrayfield. Everything went very smoothly and I could not be happier. My appointments and results were organised swiftly, I had my operation within a month of our first appointment. The operation went well and I have recovered quickly.

Mr Lamb was very clear about the potential procedures for repairing hernia with & without mesh as well as recovery times regarding work and driving. He explained risk factors of fixing hernia and doing nothing. A quick and professional appointment.
