This surgeon has been very kind to me over the years and has always been able to find my problem and offer something to help. Very recently he has even added me last minute to his long patient list the same week. Very knowledgeable and thorough.

I had seen Mr Gould in July 2024 to assess my Hernia and at the time there was no need for surgery but he took time out to explain exactly the type of hernia I had, how it can develop and what to look out for in the future. Having experienced some discomfort, I saw Mr Gould again in August 2026 and we agreed that surgery to repair the hernia would now be the best option moving forward. From then on, Mr Gould kindly informed me of the progress leading up to the surgery, including pre-op assessment. Any queries I had, he was more than happy to promptly respond to my email which reassured me. The hernia repair surgery was extremely well managed by his team, including seeing me on the day of the surgery to again reassure me. I was again seen by Mr Gould post the surgery on the day to make sure I was fine, and to explain how the procedure had gone. All in all, the care provided by Mr Gould and his team was superb.

Mr Gould was an amazing surgeon and talked me as little or as much as I wanted to know about.

I had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed by Mr Stuart Gould. I had private insurance and chose Mr Stuart Gould for my procedure, and I honestly could not be happier with my decision. The surgery was carried out very professionally, and I was amazed by how well I felt afterwards. I had none of the typical pain I was expecting after this type of surgery, and my recovery was much easier and smoother than I anticipated. I am also very pleased with the cosmetic result. The incisions are so small that I am confident I will barely have any visible scars once they have fully healed. Mr Stuart Gould performed the procedure with great professionalism and skill, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a surgeon. I am very grateful for the excellent care I received and for the outcome of my surgery.

I had an appointment with Mr Stuart Gould to discuss my gallstones and potential surgery. He was professional, reassuring, and took the time to explain everything clearly, including the treatment options and what to expect from the operation. I felt listened to and well informed throughout the consultation. Thank you for the excellent care and support.

I was waiting in trepidation regarding my initial consultation with Mr Gould at The Clementine Churchill Hospital. I need not have worried. His empathetic manner, active listening and considered advice were very reassuring and I departed feeling confident that an appropriate treatment plan would be put in place.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Gould when I visited the hospital for a hemorrhoid problem I'd been putting off dealing with for years. The discomfort of the issue itself had made me reluctant to see a specialist, so by the time I finally went, I was extremely nervous and anxious. Dr. Gould made me feel comfortable and at ease almost immediately. He was welcoming, funny, and genuine, and that put me at ease right from the start. I'm so glad he was the one who performed my operation — I trusted him completely.

Firstly I would have no hesitation in recommending Stuart to any friend or family. He gave a clear explanation of what was needed, with any other options. He is extremely positive and friendly. I hope not to need him again, but I know if I did I would not hesitate to call upon his services again.
