Explanation

Mr Kerwat removed my gallbladder 2 years ago. He was friendly, kind, clear and approachable whilst also clinically excellent. I felt really well looked after. Subsequently I have returned to him with stomach symptoms which he both investigated and reassured about. I feel very fortunate to have been in his care. I am a medically anxious person - I have ADHD and can often be triggered - Mr Kerwat understood this. His guidance and support were holistic and non-judgemental. I whole-heartedly recommend him.
