I saw Dr Wilson for a follow-up appointment six weeks after my hernia repair with mesh. He was extremely thorough in assessing my recovery and took the time to carefully examine my abdomen to make sure everything had healed as it should. He then talked me through the next stage of my recovery in detail, including how to gradually and safely transition back into sport and build my abdominal strength over time. I particularly appreciated his focus on not just getting me back to normal, but making sure the repair is as strong and durable as possible for the long term. Dr Wilson was incredibly knowledgeable, reassuring and thorough throughout. I left the appointment feeling confident about my recovery and with a clear plan for getting back to the activities I enjoy. I would highly recommend him.

I saw Dr Wilson for a consultation following an operation earlier this year. Throughout the entire journey I felt supported and fully informed about the procedure and subsequent recovery period. My quality of life has improved immeasurably, and I wish I had taken appropriate steps sooner. Dr Wilson always had time to alleviate my fears and was more than happy to answer any questions I had.

I came to see Mr Wilson for treatment following several months of pain and discomfort after a misdiagnosis by another clinician. Mr Wilson was extremely attentive, knowledgeable and really put me at ease even during the most difficult parts of treatment. He helped me course correct my health and wellbeing and for that I am eternally grateful and strong recommend him if you’re looking for answers/help.
