Mr Connell is wonderful. Professional and caring. Could not ask for a better consultant.
Consultant was very experienced and knowledgable.and answered many questions which made me feel I was in safe hands
Not felt particularly well since the minor procedure but I was in excellent hands and so very glad I saw him for the second time. Full explanation given as to what would happen and it went like clockwork. Particularly impressed with his nursing team too. Thank you all so much as I was very scared on the day and put at my ease
Mr Connell is always exceptional in his care and I trust him with my health. I'm very thankful to him for helping me try for a better quality of life with my endometriosis.
thank you so much for these kind words
Mr Connell put me at ease instantly with his dry sense of humour. He explains everything in depth and made sure I was comfortable with each treatment he wanted to put in place
Thank you for this, I hope that we all help to put you at ease at often a difficult time
Mr Connell has been my Consultant on three occasions and I would never consider anyone else. He is to the point ( which I prefer and appreciate) but nevertheless very informative at both consultation and pre and post op and exceptionally caring with a sense of humour that I like a lot! I have 100% confidence in everything he says and does and know if required he can be contacted ( he will always call if he or his PA say he will) if there are any questions or issues minor or more concerning pre or post surgery if required or to discuss whether surgery is the best way forward. There is many a person who could / should follow the example set by this amazing chap.
Thank you Lovely comments - and yes I do what my PA tells me!!!
Mr Connell was clear in his explanations. And answered any queries I had. I saw him both before and after the op and again the next day before my discharge. It was all a positive experience

Dr Connell wax clear with all details relating to my procedure. He was kind, caring and professional and made me feel less anxious and at ease throughout. He checked on how I was after the operation and the following day and proved clear guidelines for recovery period.
