Dealing with Victoria was efficient and she is so very helpful. Professor Irving is accomodating, down to earth and caring and no doubt the best in his field. I highly recommend him and am always so appreciative of his care and support.
I’ve been seeing Prof. Irving for some time now and he has always made me feel safe, heard, and comfortable at consultations! Always there to answer any questions I have as well, and make sure I understand the treatment plan.
Thank you so much for the wonderful care that Professor Irving gave to me towards the end of 2025. He was incredibly reassuring, kind, knowledgeable and I felt able to ask him any question (however he answered almost all my questions without me even having to ask them). As a fellow healthcare professional, you can really tell when someone cares about their job and patients and Professor Irving really does. Thank you also to his wonderful secretary Victoria for answering all emails and being so lovely on the phone. I would highly recommend Professor Irving.
Very comfortable having a conversation with DR Irving and his PA both lovely people
Peter Irving and his staff were very professional and made the whole experience easy
It was first rate. Peter Irving's PA was excellent and very friendly. Peter himself was very friendly and provided excellent explanations.
I had an excellent visit and procedure with Professor Irving. He healed my past stomach issue and the recent surveillance endoscopy went smoothly. As always he is professional and kind. His team is well trained and efficient. Altogether amazing experience and I am thankful I was in the best hands.
A very professional and reassuring consultation. I felt in good hands with Prof. Irving, and I’m confident in the support for future treatments.
