Reviews
I felt very at ease with Mr Crinnion, his explanations were easy for me to follow and I felt reassured I was in good hands and being looked after. My results were given to me very quickly which I appreciated a lot.
Very pleased with Mr James Crinnion very pleasant person who listens to your concerns and addresses it very promptly very experienced in his field Would definitely recommend.
From consultation to post operation dr crinnion care has been excellent. Always patient and very thorough.
I was extremely nervous having the procedure undertaken during the Covid-19 pandemic but the care and treatment provided was excellent. Mr Crinnion explains things well and in a caring manner which puts you at ease. All in all I’m so pleased the surgery has now been done and I’m well on the way to recovery.
