Very pleased to have received care from Mr Chambers and the RDUH colorectal team. Mr Chambers is knowledgeable, patient and supportive. He was able to alleviate my fears and gave expert advice on surgical options for complex colorectal pelvic floor surgery. The surgery has been successful and honestly life changing. I can not thank him enough.

My hernia operation immediately dealt with the pain and discomfort I had been experiencing for many months. My recovery was very quick and straightforward, no doubt due to the skill and expertise of Mr Chambers and his team in the operating theatre. Post operation I was very grateful that Mr Chambers took a reassuring interest in my recovery and was patient enough to help me understand what had been done.

Arrived on time seen within a few minutes of arriving by Consultant. He examined me and reassured me that everything was ok but also said to contact him if I had any problems. Then free to go he also helped me with my crutches which I have to use at the moment.
