Patient seen for:
I found Mr Hicks to be very professional in his manner and his explanation of the operation process extensive and easily understood including the amount of pain that would be experienced . On the day of the operation he again detailed his plans and timescales. The follow up examination met all of my expectations.

Excellent consultant/doctor who fully informed me of the procedure, the post operation expectations and recovery expectations. He put my mind at ease and I wouldn't hesitate to ever recommend him to others or have another procedure carried out by him. Many thanks

Mr Hicks was very lovely experience. He was extremely professional, took his time explaining all aspects ,then arranging for me to see the other consultants to find the diagnosis, after my last appointment he has referred me to the appropriate specialist now who has now started my treatment and recovery. I was sent originally to Mr Hicks because GP thought it was a vascular problem .., it wasn’t .Nevertheless Mr Hicks went out of his way to ensure I received the procedures and consultant .Would highly recommended if you need excellent care and treatment . Must add his secretary Sue was always a pleasure and nothing was too much trouble for her.Many thanks .

Mr Hicks provided a very clear explanation for the cause of my medical problem and also for the corrective procedure. Having raised some concerns about the side-effects I was experiencing post-surgery, Mr Hicks called me personally to talk through my concerns and to reassure me. That was hugely appreciated and gave me all the reassurance I needed. I recovered fully in line with expected recovery time.
