Everything from my initial consultation to my last one went very smoothly and pleasantly. The operation itself must have gone well as I have recovered well and quickly - and lots of people have commented on this.

My experience at The Blackheath Hospital under the care of Dr Weitzel and his team was both professional and caring. My treatment as an impatient was excellent and would commend all members of the nursing team involved in my care. The outcome of my surgery is a total success. Please extend my thanks to all members of staff involved in my care.

Truly grateful for Dr Weitzel, i would not have gotten this far with my initial diagnoses, treatments and so forth it wasn't for him. Although not completely out of the wood works he put on the right path and continued to do so. He stepped in when other medical professionals immensely failed me and ensured i was getting the appropriate diagnoses, information guidance and treatment in line with my diagnoses and treatment.
