Excellent care pre and post op.

Mr.Routledge treated me for a recurring pneumothorax, to which I have had to resort to surgery (two months back). My partner and I consulted Mr.Routledge and I booked myself in for the surgery the week after. He is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced doctor (utilising robotics), diligent and caring in parallel. I am very grateful to have found a surgeon with experience of catamenial pneumothorax. He explains my situation before /after surgery very clearly and is always happy to help should I have any questions. As I was eventually treated (keyhole surgery) for catemenial pneumothorax combined with the need for pleurodesis, recovery time is gradual, but I am extremely glad to have chosen Mr Routledge as my surgeon in this process.

Mr Routledge is down to earth he explained to me everything before the surgery and felt very Safe. thank you Mr Routledge.

It was an absolute pleasure to see Mr Routledge again 7 years after my chest surgery. I had some discomfort in my sternum after a friend was too vigorous in helping me out of a chair and suspected that a couple of the wires in my chest had broken. Mr Routledge allayed my concerns of any serious damage and we agreed that as I could live with the occasional discomfort, it was best to leave them alone. I left his office feeling relieved and reassured.

I underwent a robotic lung lobectomy by Mr Routledge on 11/04/2023 I researched robotic lung surgeons, in order to secure the best surgeon for my case. (Lung tumour removal) Mr Routledge was my choice and, now 9 days pst operatively, and almost back to normal.. I can only credit a huge part of this good outcome to his expertise, as a thoracic robotic lung surgeon. (Although I am aware he is highly experienced in other surgical thiracics (Not just robotic) It is important to me that practitioners show understanding and compassion, in tandem with their medical skills, and Mr Routledge did. He communicates clearly, no arrogance what so ever, and was more than willing to answer my endless list of questions. He visited me every day of my 4 day stay at London Bridge (HCA) His secretary Louise Fu has also been excellent in terms of responding to my e mails in a kind and competent manner. My experience was faultless and, in spite of my having required lung cancer surgery, I feel blessed to have chosen Mr Routledge.

For a person with his responsibilities, he was always avaliable, did exactly what he said,was calm, reassuring and attentive, brilliant service I would also like to add a comment about his assistant Louise, exactly the same, always available, got everything sorted out without any fuss, really nice lady

Did amazing surgical job on my thymoma Made himself available at anytime for responses by WhatsApp which was very important. Very matter of fact

Mr Routledge visited every day and was open to any questions. I feel reassured that I could contact him should I need to

Friendly ,considerate and professional fat all times.

I feel safe and cared for under his care
