I am not one to write reviews but this I have to as a result of the excellent service received from Dr. Nnochiri. Dr. Nnochiri is a wonderful Doctor. His understanding of my needs went above and beyond any other doctor that I have ever seen. He enabled me to go into surgery with a wealth of knowledge, taking the time and care to explain everything to me pre and post procedure. Thank you again
Read moreI had a laparoscopy and excision of endometriosis in April 2021. The process from consultation to surgery and then the final review was straightforward and I was very happy with everything from start to finish. I had been to several other clinicians previously and they did not know how to treat my condition. Thank you Dr Nnochiri and the whole team who looked after me so well before and after my surgery.

I cannot recommend Mr Nnochiri highly enough. From my first consultation, where he was understanding and informative, explaining all of my options in terms I could easily understand, to my procedure, where he was reassuring and put me at ease to my follow up where he explained the whole of my operation in detail so I could fully understand and make informative decisions going forward. He has a very friendly manner and it was a pleasure to have him look after me.

I was referred to Dr Nnochiri by my insurers. From my initial consultation with him to the point of surgery took approximately two months. We discussed the various forms of treatment for my condition, also the pros and cons. He asked me to go away, think about the options and revert to him with any questions and my decision. We concluded on a laparoscopic subtotal hysterectomy as I wanted to retain my uterus. I had never had any form of surgery so was very apprehensive and nervous. He made me feel at ease. The surgery went smoothly and surprisingly, the pain was minimal. He was always professional and I will highly recommend him.

I had an open myomectomy. I'd had a similar operation c10 years previously so was naturally apprehensive. At the initial consultation Mr Nnochuri took time to describe all the possible treatment options, the pros and cons of each, allowing me to come to an informed decision. Most importantly Mr Nnochuri asked what I wanted to achieve post-op. I wished to do everything to retain my uterus, not necessarily for future pregnancy but because it was important to my overall well-being and how I feel as a woman. I had 49 fibroids removed and have made a good recovery thus far (I am 4 weeks post-op). I have been left with a very neat scar as Mr Nnochuri tidied up the c1.5cm wide scar I'd been left with from the operation c10 years previous. During my recovery period Mr Nnochuri has answered my and my partner's numerous ad hoc questions by email which has been important as they don't all come to mind before discharge from hospital. In summary I have had full confidence in Mr Nnochuri from our very first consultation and am very pleased that I found him.
