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.
