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.
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
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.
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
Very approachable puts you at ease. Very clear and concise explanations and detailed. Makes you feel very comfortable. Very knowledgeable.
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.
Mr Connell is a compassionate and empathetic surgeon who treated me with the utmost care and respect. From the initial consultation to surgery I felt that I was listened to and included in my care.
Rowan is an excellent consultant, I felt at ease on my first appointment with Rowan & he explained clearly about the treatment I would need & the benefits it would have going forward.

He has a very uplifting & happy demeanour, a great consultant & I am overall happy with the patient care i received from Rowan. Thank you.
