He is thorough, diligent, and his attention to detail is better than many doctors. I feel that he takes great responsibility for getting to the root of your particular problem and finding the right solutions rather than prescribing the same thing to many patients. I’d definitely recommend him

We couldn’t thank Mr whitehead enough for his care, time and help during our hospital stay. He was thorough with everything, straight to the point explained everything and most importantly helped my son get better. He personally checked up on my son to see how he was doing. We’ve never know a surgeon to be so caring with the patient and family and for that we will forever be greatful. He’s a hero

Explanation

My diagnosis was not straightforward but Mr Whitehead was extremely tenacious over a period of eighteen months, carrying out tests and biopsies so that I could finally get the answers I needed in order to start treatment. At all times Mr Whitehead explained the various possibilities to me in an empathetic manner, and eventually it was the condition which he had originally suspected which was diagnosed. I very much appreciate his expertise and the care he has shown.

The treatment I received by Mr Whitehead was outstanding. This was my first operation, I felt completely reassured throughout the entire experience, all the while being fully informed of the procedure and what it entailed. The advice given post op was extremely helpful, such as chewing gum making my recovery experience as successful and smooth as possible. Many thanks to Mr Whitehead and the other staff at the Nuffield for helping to improve my quality of life.
