I came to see Mr Simon Radley for a consultation on a potential Inguinal hernia operation. He was very, very helpful and friendly and fully explained everything. I took a notebook with me woth 6 plus questions but he already gave me the info without me asking them. Then a few I did ask about my hobby and lifestyle he answered leaving me feeling much more confident and comfortable.

Mr Radley performed my robot rectopexy on 20 March and followed up on 5 May. He was very professional the whole time whilst also being caring, answering all my questions and being sympathetic to the distressing issues I had been experiencing for a long time. Mr Radley came to see me after my op and also on the following two days which were a Saturday and Sunday to check how I was. This was hugely appreciated. My op was successful and I now enjoy a quality of life I had forgotten. I cannot recommend Mr Radley highly enough.

I was very happy overall with my treatment at the hospital and on leaving felt not too bad. However the next day I felt not as I expected and after calling the day case ward felt that my extreme discomfort was underplayed
