Having explained the reasons for my visit,I then asked Mr Evans for his specific advice on two matters that were troubling me. I duly received his response which indeed clarified the situation for me. Unfortunately ,my health problem must remain ongoing ,but his sound advice has provided me with a better outlook. I found Mr Evans to be thorough and courteous.

Mr Evans was very professional and caring throughout the whole process. He took time to explain in detail his diagnosis and what the treatment would involve. He also came to see me before and after the operation to ensure that I was ok. He had warned me that I would experience a lot of pain after the operation and he wasn't joking! However the aftercare that he and the Sancta Maria hospital proided was first class and the operation was a complete success. I am very grateful to Mr Evans for all his help.

Mr Martyn Evans explained the options to me at his clinic. As I explained the symtoms of the second Inguinal Hernia in my groin became became very apparent soon after the Ambilical hernia, but over the period since, the symptoms have reduced and at this moment I am happy to live with it, but he did explain it would be a better option to get it repaired. I would like to consider this a bit longer, and he has agreed to see me if I change my mind. I therefore consider his advice to be first class, as we both consider that, at my age of 77, it could have serious consequences due to strangulation.
