He clearly explains diagnoses and treatment options, building patient confidence in his surgical ability. Excellent pre- and post-operative care is provided, leading to many successful outcomes and positive patient experiences. Many reviews highlight successful hernia procedures.
Would highly recommend Mr Martyn Evans who was very clear, knowledgeable and reassuring throughout the period of my treatment. Would 100% return if symptoms come back.
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 so friendly, approachable, genuinely interested in helping me and diagnosing my issue. Mr Evans took the time to listen and explained things in a way that made sense. I never felt like just another client—he really cared, and that made a huge difference. I'm so grateful for his kindness, expertise, and patience. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Mr Martyn Evans. Sincere heartfelt thanks.
Excellent from start to finish. Very pleasant surgeon, explaining everything from surgery to recovery very clearly.
Clear information sharing and seemed confident with the procedure which made me feel more at ease
This was my second surgery with Mr Martyn Evans, from my first appointment, to my post-surgery it was first class each time, Mr Evans explained each and every step of the procedure, in a plain simple language I could understand., Mr Evans puts you at ease, I had no surgery jitters., I cannot recommend him highly enough.
The service provided was first class. Mr Evans was superb throughout, answering any queries in detail and was clear with how the process would play out.
The appointment was easy to make and the professionalism of Mr Evans made the experience a smooth one. Explained himself clearly and made me feel at ease with the diagnosis.
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.
