I was referred due to a growing adrenal Mass. Mr Bhadwaj clearly explained my test results and the way forward, always answering my questions along the way. I felt safe and secure in his hands and consented to the open adrenalectomy. The surgery went as planned and I had a very neat scar with no staples!! My follow up was organised and I was discharged after running through the surgery, recovery and histology results. I would not hesitate to have Mr Bhadwaj look after myself again or any of my friends or family.
My experience as patient of Neil Bhardwaj was excellent. He was clear, efficient, friendly, and very professional. My surgery was a complete success and it has already healed very well. I couldn’t fault my experience at all. Excellent! Thank you!
Mr Bhardwaj is not only an incredibly skilled consultant, but also someone who made me feel genuinely reassured and cared for at a time when I was understandably very nervous. My operation was particularly challenging, and despite the odds it was a great success. I feel incredibly fortunate to have had him as my consultant and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who find themselves needing his care.
Excellent experience from everyone. Pre op to post op top class experience and professionalism.
From start to finish I had everything for my procedure explained to me in a way I could understand. On the day of the operation, I was treated with the utmost respect and the procedure went smoothly. Post operation I was made comfortable and there was less pain than I was expecting so a credit to Mr Bhardwaj, as I took no pain relief after the operation. If anyone ever needs Mr Bhardwaj's expertise in the future, I would have no hesitation in recommending him to others, you would be in safe hands. As an aside, I would also like to praise the Nurses and Anaesthetist- as they too were exemplary.
Mr bhardwaj was outstanding from start to finish. He always made me feel well informed, at ease and filled me with confidence. Urgency, compassion and professionalism were displayed in every appointment pre and post surgery. I can’t thank Mr Bhardwaj enough for what he has done for me. Thank you.
Mr Bharwwaj and his team were very caring and informative thought the whole process from initial consultation to full recovery from my operation. The team are extremely professional and provide a service at the highest level possible.
Most of my treatment has been at Kettering and very pleased however within minutes of meeting Mr Bhardwaj he was showing us scans, explaining what potentially needed to come out. Really put our minds at rest. Never saw a single scan in Kettering.
Mr Bhardwaj has a very pleasant and reassuring bed side manner. My operation was a success and went to plan.
