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 was excellent, he took my concerns seriously, was very understanding, and explained everything thoroughly. I never felt rushed, and overall the surgery went well.
Very friendly and took the time to explain things clearly

Thank you for your feedback. I’m very pleased to hear that you had a positive experience.
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’m very grateful for your comments and happy to hear that you had a reassuring and positive experience.
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

Sorry to hear that, but thank you for the overall positive.
