Mr Rhodri Codd is clear when he talks with patients. He helps them feel at ease. Patients feel safe in his care before and after surgery. Most reviews mention colonoscopy and hernia care.
Mr Codd has been approachable, professional and clear in his explanations. I have felt listened to and involved in decisions at every appointment. I appreciate how thorough he has been with the investigations and I trust his judgement about my surgery. Mr Codd and his team were particularly considerate during my recent colonoscopy, putting me at ease and making an awkward & undignified procedure easier. The care I have received has been exceptional.
I recently had a procedure and was treated with a very high standard of care
Easy to make initial consultation. Procedure described, discussed all possible problems. Appointment made for op. Met Mr Codd and all associated staff on the day. Pleasant informative helpful. Watched over me after the operation, discharged same day as planned.
My appointment was undertaken promptly as was my colonoscopy. I felt very anxious about the process, having recently undergone major surgery to remove cancer from my womb. Dr Codd listened to my concerns regarding the type of preparation I could tolerate in readiness for the procedure and offered Movi prep which was effective without making me sick. I also aired my concerns in relation to sedation and painkillers to enable me to lie on my side. My concerns were addressed and the procedure went well. I was provided with a discharge folder with the results of the endoscopy within a hour of recovery. I highly recommend Dr Codd's services and will not hesitate to contact him again in the future if the need arises. All the staff I had contact with by telephone or face to face were professional. courteous and happy to assist.
I attended Mr Codd's consultation and he completely put me at ease with his kind and empathetic nature. He listened attentively and arranged a colonoscopy for the next week, this he carried out with great care. He explained everything to me and I was completely relaxed and felt no discomfort. I was pleased that my results were good but he could see that I was still a little uneasy about my condition so he offered a CT Scan. He saw me with my results few days later. He is a very pleasant gentleman who listens well to his patient. I was very pleased with the service that he provided and would not hesitate to recommend him.
Mr Codd was very professional and he gave me a guideline of the what's gonna happen and how is he gonna handle it which I believe is the right approach. He also checked on me before the surgery and to make sure that everything is well prepared and explained. After surgery he came to see me as well and told me what he's done, any concerns or any what I need to do with post surgery recovery. He answered my question with professionalism. Thank you very much Mr Codd!
I recently had an open incisional hernia repair with Dr Codd and I couldn’t be happier with the care I received. Everything was explained to me in detail, which helped me feel reassured and confident throughout the whole process. Dr Codd and the team were professional, caring and supportive from start to finish. My recovery has been going well, and I’m really pleased with how everything has gone. I felt well looked after throughout and would like to thank Dr Codd and the whole team for their excellent care, kindness and reassurance.
Overall I was very impressed with the level of service and support received and would definitely recommend
