Mr Bhardwaj i cant thank you and your team enough. Everything you have done is nothing short of incredible. The anaesthetist/surgical team made me feel at ease when I was feeling a little anxious and made me feel safe. The nurses on ICU and HPB ward were fantastic and the care I received was fantastic. From the bottom of my heart, thank you! I can live normally again.

I had gallstones and had my gallbladder removed. Mr Bhardwaj made me feel at ease, explained everything and answered any questions that I had. Couldn’t have asked for more care from him or the staff at Nuffield Hospital

I cannot recommend Dr Bhardwaj highly enough. From my very first consultation for my adrenalectomy (removal of tumour) he put me completely at ease I had a lot of fears running through my mind yet Mr Bhardwaj took the time to walk me through every step of the surgery and recovery, answering all my questions with patience. Thanks to their exceptional care, my recovery has been smooth. Truly a skilled and compassionate professional, all I can say is this man is a genius,

I honestly can’t praise Mr Neil Bhardwaj enough. He was absolutely amazing from start to finish — so down to earth, approachable and genuinely caring. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions and made sure I understood exactly what was happening. His calm and friendly manner immediately put me at ease, and I felt completely confident that I was in the best hands. I’m so grateful for the care and professionalism he showed me throughout my surgery. Thank you
