Mr Yip is the most exceptional surgeon I have ever come across. Incredibly caring, very thorough in his investigations to rigorously diagnose the issue. He always takes the time to explain everything carefully and simply for a patient to understand. Mr Yip successfully resolved my gallstone issue with surgery, which was done meticulously, the stitches were so carefully done and I felt virtually no discomfort as a result of Mr Yip’s delicate hands for operating. After surgery was also exceptional and Mr Yip was kind enough to check on me with calls in the evening to monitor my state in the days following discharge. I fully endorse Mr Yip as one of the great surgeons in the field. He also has a very well organised and proactive assistant.

I had my gallbladder surgery with Mr. Yip, and he was exceptionally professional throughout. He explained the procedure, potential outcomes, and risks very clearly, making sure I fully understood everything. Although I initially had fears and second thoughts, he reassured me with data, clear explanations, and his evident expertise. Mr. Yip is not only an expert surgeon in his field but also very compassionate — he truly made me feel heard and supported. Even after I was discharged, whenever I had concerns about my post-surgical symptoms, he and his team patiently reassured me and provided guidance. I highly recommend Mr. Yip to anyone looking for an outstanding and caring surgeon in London!

In my dealings with Mr Yip he was the consummate professional whilst at the same time being patient, approachable and friendly. He explained everything in detail and made time for questions. His technical surgical expertise made possible a procedure that had appeared likely not to be possible and which resulted in a less invasive surgical outcome. His follow-up was wholly consistent with the excellence of our pre-surgical interaction. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Yip and count myself as very fortunate to have been under his care.

From our very first conversation to my final post-op checkup, Mr Yip was nothing short of outstanding. He consistently placed my well-being at the centre of every step, making me feel heard, reassured, and genuinely included throughout the entire process. His professionalism was matched only by his warmth and empathy I felt completely cared for from beginning to end.

Words cannot fully express the gratitude my family and I feel towards Dr Yip for the incredible care he provided to my mum. After being turned away or met with hesitation by several other surgeons due to the complexity of her condition, we had almost lost hope. Then we met Dr.Yip , and everything changed. From the very beginning, he showed genuine compassion and took the time to understand her case, not just as a medical challenge, but as a human life worth fighting for. Where others saw risk, he saw possibility. He gave us something no one else could which was hope. The Whipple procedure is complex and demanding, yet Dr Yip handled it with extraordinary skill and confidence. His precision, professionalism, and calm demeanor reassured us at every step. Thanks to him, the surgery was a success, and my mum has been given a second chance at life. What truly sets Dr. Yip apart is not only his exceptional surgical expertise but also his bedside manner. He treated my mum, and our entire family with warmth, respect, and kindness throughout the entire process. He made us feel heard, valued, and supported in one of the most difficult times of our lives. We are forever grateful to Dr. Yip. He is a rare kind of doctor with extraordinary skills.
