Pre-op consultations, operation and post operative consultation could not have been better. My swollen legs are now half the size that they were. Excellent advice given about the correct compression stockings and application to put them on. A big thank you for an excellent experience and would highly recommend!

My whole experience with Mr Hicks , from the first consultation through to my operation and follow up appointment , was fantastic ! He was very reassuring and responsive to my concerns , putting me at ease very quickly after a thorough examination and explanation of the options open to me. Having received treatment and undergone previous operations I have to say that Mr Hicks is on another level ! As such I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone needing advice / surgery for a range of issues including vascular / hernia related problems.

My recent experience was really good. Not only was I confident I had been given all relevant info regarding my surgery and the recovery. Mr. Hicks is a really friendly man with a great manner. The surgery went well as did my recovery.
